Powerfully tight analytics platform that leverages the best aspects of Snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
Three things stand out that set Sigma far above competitors:
1) Input tables. Yes others have writeback functionality but it's just so EASY with sigma to set up data entry, make changes, track changes, that we've had employees who have had whole careers around maintaining spreadsheets *prefer* to enter it into Sigma
2) We can query the AI engine right in the dashboard. Yes it sounds scary, but once you have it working, letting the users ask the dashboard what the data means? it's a game changer! Our BI team can focus on new things rather than explaining what the data means. And it produces queries that we can review to build in alerts, highlights and more information to really have the dashboards tell the stories going forwards.
3) Customer support - The initial set up felt like we were really taken care of. We were able to test out the features and get advanced things up and running right from the day of integration. We've replaced all of our 250 reports from DOMO in to 8-10 reports in Sigma and the users feel like they got an upgrade.
Bonus points: Having Cortex with all the LLM models built in to snowflake, makes the sigma integration with snowflake just the ideal setup.

What do you dislike about the product?
The folder / user management style is a little rough still.
It doesn't have all of the visualizations we've come to expect from a Tableau. or DOMO.
It isn't intuitive on your first pass. You need to have someone guide you through the thought process to building dashboards. Once you get it, it's easy, but the learning curve on the first 3 dashboards is steep.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are a nursing university. Sigma allows us to analyze which students are at risk, and make calls in real time to have AI analyze what mitigation efforts would be best. It let's us rebuild everything we had in DOMO, but not double load the data.
It let's me track our costs and usage in Snowflake, and keep those under control (about $20,000 a year less, and we added in AI)

User-Friendly But Occasionally Slow

I also enjoy the seamless integration with Excel, enabling easy downloads.

I use Sigma to pull team scores and evaluate problem areas quickly, benefiting from its user-friendly interface, easy access to data, and seamless Excel integration.
Useful and Impactful
What do you like best about the product?
Sigma is great for our FP&A team to get access to data that's in places like big query which would previously have required folks to write sql.
It's easy to use, and required little to no training to get started since it has so many similarities to other programs like excel.

What do you dislike about the product?
We still struggle to eliminate manual processes with Sigma when presenting to execs. They are not going to hop into a sigma dashboard, so we end up either having to painstakingly create all presentation materials within sigma and then screenshot them into a presentation, or paste data organized for a chart from sigma into a spreadsheet which leaves room for error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To pivot raw bookings and ARR data, create simple charts that we look at on a monthly basis, and investigate one-off anomalies.
Sigma Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Sigma feels familiar and easy to use, especially for anyone comfortable with spreadsheets. It connects well with cloud data warehouses, so getting started is pretty smooth, though some advanced features can take a bit to get used to. The support team is helpful, and it’s something I find myself using regularly.
What do you dislike about the product?
While it’s user-friendly compared to SQL, non-technical users can still find some features or formulas tricky at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can explore and analyze up-to-date data without needing to write SQL or wait for reports, which saves time and helps me make faster, more informed decisions.

BestComprehensive tool for Data Warehousing!!

Best part about Sigma is its ability to connect directly to our cloud data warehouse without moving data. Given interface makes it easy for business users to analyze large datasets in real time, without relying on any engineers or writing complex SQL quesries.
What do you dislike about the product?
No dislikes about it. But, Performance wise it heavily relies on the existing data warehouse. Large queries are sometimes slow if data warehouse is not optimized correctly.

Effortless analytics & dashboarding made Easy!
What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Sigma for nearly two months across our company, primarily for product, sales, portal access analytics, and statistical visualizations. Sigma’s spreadsheet-like interface makes it incredibly easy for team members—technical and non‑technical alike—to explore live data directly from our cloud warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sigma is intuitive and easy to use, but it has a few limitations. Customization for visualizations is somewhat limited, performance can slow down with large datasets, and certain report tweaks—like table joins—can be tricky to configure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sigma helps us turn raw data into actionable insights without relying heavily on engineering resources. It simplifies access to product, sales, and portal usage analytics through live dashboards and self-service reporting. This has improved cross-team visibility, accelerated decision-making, and reduced the time spent on manual data analysis.
