About Sigma Computing
Sigma is a business intelligence and analytics software, which helps businesses securely connect with data warehouses and visualize data through charts and dashboards using SQL, JSON parsing, and more. The platform offers a spreadsheet-like interface and supports formulas, functions, and data representation using rows and columns.
Sigma lets organizations create digital workspaces and provide role-based permissions to members, facilitating collaboration across departments. It includes a variety of features such as real-time data analysis, collaborative data modeling, SQL authoring, DDoS protection, mobile device management, credential checking, and more. Teams can customize predefined data models to create reusable datasets and flag workbooks or datasets as endorsed, warning, or deprecated using object badges to streamline operations across the pipeline.
Sigma offers security firewall, anomaly and threat detection, spoofing protection, DNS filtering, and phishing tests, allowing businesses to prevent unauthorized access and hack attempts. The solution also supports integration with various data warehouses and third-party applications including Snowflake, Google Big Query, Amazon Redshift, Stitch, Slack, Google Sheets, and more.

So far, we've managed to simplify our business metrics visualization and enabled querying that information to non-technical users which is a big win.
Pros
I like that it's easy to create customized views of Data without having to expose unnecesary information as noise. I love the simple UI to build new reports and the smart filters.
Cons
Getting the data into Sigma can be daunting at first, but it's worth it in the end. If you're struggling I recommend to keep trying.

Sigma is the fastest and easiest BI tool to deploy. Iteration on the semantic layer is a cinch.
Sigma is a delight to work with as a vendor. Their support is superbly responsive (during business hours - they don't have global timezone coverage yet).
Sigma's pricing model is reasonable and very friendly to orgs where 80+% of the employees need live data access.
Pros
Sigma has the right model.
From the user perspective, the columnar formula editing feels familiar enough, and the learning curve is friendly to anyone with spreadsheet experience.
From an architect perspective, the semantic layer is lightweight and easy to adapt to ever-changing schemas. The UI covers most of the functionality you'll want, and for everything else you can fall back on writing your own code, like cron strings or SQL queries. I let Sigma do probably 95% of my querying, leaving the gnarliest 5% for me to write in their SQL runner.
I do a significant amount of lightweight ELT work in Sigma as well. I like being able to write massive views that I know I'm going to have to update often, and just like Snowflake / Sigma materialize them for me. When I use Sigma to query S3 directly in the SQL runner - usually to POC some new data that hasn't made its way out to the business teams yet - this functionality is really convenient because those queries are not efficient. I just need to get new data in front of the business as quickly as possible.
Cons
Visual discovery is lacking when compared to mature tools like Tableau. Sigma needs to continue chipping away at the Tableau features around dashboarding and charting.

Good enough to push SIGMA as an organizational tool. We are currently active using it, and it has helped give our [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] enough visibility on where our challenges are.
Pros
I like the flexibility on displaying the information that makes sense the most on our organization.
Cons
There were some restrictions when showing text alongside graphs, and the toolbars didn’t allow for enough flexibility to our liking. Other than that, pretty good experience overall

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.
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.
