As a Data analyst, I used Sigma to work with datasets in a spreadsheet-like interface integrating cloud data warehouses like Bigquery and Snowflake, and it connects directly without requiring complex setup. ----- ### "Unintuitive" — 2.0/5 > **Ashley** | *28 September 2020* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Some of the charts are nice for visuals and I can create high-level reports. > > **Cons**: I dislike the process in trying to to create reports. I have some development experience and I much prefer running searches with SQL - I find it much more intuitive than Sigma's interface. Due to this and my limited time, I haven't taken much time to learn Sigma and get comfortable with it, especially when I'm familiar with SQL. It creates a bit of a bottleneck for our company in that our data analysts are the only ones who seem to really be able to create reports with Sigma. I want a tool where I can easily create a report as well. > > I can easily see high-level insights, like how many users of a certain type are utilizing our software, some usage trends, etc. However, when trying to do a deep dive to understand user health aspects over time, I don't have the skill or patience to create a report to track this type of usage in Sigma. ----- ### "Sigma helps you analyze your numbers and visualize them to your team\!" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *30 June 2022* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sigma is mostly easy to use, and has a very clean and simple presentation. The data is almost always accurate, and has little downtime for updates. My teams have no problems finding the info they need after I showed them where to look\! > > **Cons**: The dashboard/site could use with some personality and flair. The drab black/white can be somewhat monotonous. Offering classes/tutorials for how to find certain data sets, and analyze your results would be a huge bonus. > > Overall, Sigma is a great product with plenty of options for viewing your data and presenting it. I cannot remember a time where it was this easy to show someone results in data form with accompanying graphs to help visualize the data in a palatable way. ----- ### "Sigma - making SQL a visual effort" — 5.0/5 > **Scott** | *27 June 2019* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Makes 'easy' queries very easy to work on and see results visually immediately. Natural way to think about grouping objects but still showing the 'row' level data is amazing and a huge selling point on getting non data people to use the sheets shared with them. Makes the mental structuring of large undertakings choppable into smaller to-do's and then joining sheets together > > **Cons**: Expanding on my point in my pro's about chunking down large undertakings to smaller conceptual efforts per sheet.... this is not very performant. I have two projects where I create a base sheet and then have 2-6 sheets built off of it before potentially joining them back together to combine the aspects I've added. This however, results in the base sheet/query being run numerous times and is often times a time consuming query to begin with. In a code based environment this could be made more performant by using a WITH statement so it only has to execute once and can then be used multiple times Joins have to be exact matches (no date comparison) and can only be on original columns from the data source. Therefore, if a column must be switched from integer to string, you have to create a reference to the sheet before being able to join to other tables. > > It has been great. The tool fit very naturally into my companies data flow and getting \_explorable\_ data into stakeholders hands. We also have a more static dashboarding tool that excels at that, but is weak for exploration. Sigma also makes my job as an analyst easier by making data sets explorable using point-n-click tools vs code ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/133763/sigma?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/133763/sigma) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
