On the path to success
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma enables easier access to Snowflake data and is simple to use. Instead of sudden failures like we experienced in Power BI, we can see query times increase or exceed standards while making the reports, enabling us to correct inefficient queries without downtime. Our use case is application embedding, and they have a roadmap to improve support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sigma doesn't yet have all the UI features I'd like to see. We can't match our mockups and sometimes need to build custom components when I'd really like to just adjust the CSS on their charts. We also haven't solved the "report on data in file folders" problem, which is probably more of a Snowflake ingestion issue, but our users interface with Sigma, so they feel the issue there. Their roadmap has a lot of major features I'm eagerly awaiting. Don't expect to have everything you want right now, but do expect frequent releases with new features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sigma to build reporting for our customers and place it in our application. Using Sigma, we can update those reports quickly and easily, rather than a slow process of building custom-coded reports. Also, some features next year will enable a semi-custom reporting solution without an expensive build-out by us. Just a couple of changes on permissioning, and we have a massive new feature for our customers.
Sigma Review
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the feature where you can create child elements from one sql source which makes everything load faster. Coming from chartio, every time you had to make a new graph it needed to rerun the query really bogging down the whole thing
What do you dislike about the product?
contrary to what i really like, I wish the parameters could run off of their queries. It feels silly sometimes to have to make a query to pull what i want my drop down menu to have and then make a parameter from that and then hide the original query. I would really also love to see a transpose function for charts. Right now im making pivot tables which is a work around but it is somewhat janky to do it that way
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One main problem that has been solved is realiability and speed. Chartio would often times not run so that is amazing. The way we can display data is really great too, and love the built in map feature that updates in real time instead of going to other websites like kepler.gl (althought you guys should copy some maps features from them)
Easy to use

Overall it is very easy to use and is a great way to analyze data.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact how easily it collects all of your data, and then allows you to be able to organize and analyze it.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like how it isn't super visual. It would be better to have more visuals.

We are using it to primarily pull data to then organize into one-pagers for our team to easily digest.
Powerful and Easy Enough To Use For Most Applications
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma makes it easy for an analyst who is comfortable in Excel to analyze database data in a way that is familiar to them without needing a deep familiarity with SQL.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the tool is generally capable, the some of the visualization options are lacking compared to tools like Tableau. Additionally the new workbooks feature that will be replacing worksheets feels like 2 steps forward and 1 step back. While there are some items that make Sigma easier to use and organize it lost some core functionalities that I used regularly like the ability to have multiple dimensions in a single grouping level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Sigma to analyze cross platform marketing data. Sigma provides a much faster more robust solution than free options like Data Studio while being more approachable than a tool like Tableau or Microsoft BI.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
While you dont need to be deeply familiar with SQL a basic understanding of relational databases is neccesary to prevent accidental errors and troubleshoot issues.

Solid way to capture SaaS analytics
What do you like best about the product?
breakdown of license analytics and associated utilization. allows account managers to highlight areas of strength or opportunities for improvement, both with internal account teams and clients alike
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the ability to quickly distinguish between utilization driven by account team members vs. client team members is limited. Just by virtue of establishing an account to help set up features for the client, we may ultimately be influencing utilization numbers in a skewed manner.
