Sigma Reviews & Product Details

I actually find the api useful and we use it to automate tasks that i used to do by hand. And honestly the speed is the best part as Sigma loads much faster than power bi which would freeze my browser. Embedding is solid too since you can mess with the css and make it look right. Pricing is simple. You pay your bill and you know what you get unlike those other tools with hidden costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Every time we update the version something always breaks. Old dashboards just stop working or are buggy and i have to stay late fixing them. Documentation is kinda trash sometimes the instructions are just wrong. My space bar stuck now and i really need to get some dinner. Data model view is clunky and makes it hard to see how tables connect. Support is okay but they always make you send a million logs before they help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its customization capabilities, starting with a good basic report, I can adapt it to my needs. It offers many export options, is very easy to use, and the clarity of the functions and the flexibility of the system have improved significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has exceeded my expectations, both in terms of ease of use and the level of productivity my team has been able to achieve. I honestly have nothing negative to say—I’m very satisfied with its data visualization and data manipulation capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Sigma Compute is how easy it makes working with large datasets in real time, without having to think about infrastructure or performance tuning. It automatically scales as queries get heavier, so everything stays fast and responsive even as the data grows. That lets me focus on exploring insights instead of managing compute resources, making the overall analytics experience smoother, more efficient, and dependable for everyday decision-making.

What I don’t like about Sigma Compute is that costs can feel unpredictable at times, especially for teams running heavy or frequent queries without tight usage controls. Because compute scales automatically, it’s not always clear how certain actions impact spending, which can make budgeting tricky. There’s also limited visibility into detailed compute usage, so optimizing costs often requires extra monitoring and experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Sigma's ecosystem particularly impressive because it humanizes complex technology and doesn't require someone to be a 'Coding Wizard' for high-level work. I also really enjoy the spreadsheet-like interface, which makes Sigma feel like Excel. This familiarity is important because most business users know how to work with spreadsheet formulas, pivot tables, and filters, so there's no need for weeks of training. The live connection to data warehouses without needing to export data is a massive plus because it allows for real-time SQL query execution. I also appreciate how easy and comfortable Sigma is to use for beginners, making the initial setup a breeze. All these features make Sigma really accessible and powerful, especially for those who may not have a deep technical background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the performance lags with complex workbooks and the limited visual customization. If your data warehouse is slow or if your Sigma workbook has dozens of complex joins and calculated columns, you might experience loading spinners. Fine-tuning the pixel-perfect look of a chart, like specific border thickness, custom color gradients, or unique chart types, is more restricted in Sigma. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it makes complex data more accessible, letting users explore it in real time. The user interface is intuitive, so I can find and access information quickly and efficiently. I also appreciate how easy it is to share information, which makes it much simpler to maintain consistent metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The setup is straightforward, and it’s an excellent application. So far, I haven’t noticed any major shortcomings—there’s honestly nothing I dislike about it. Sigma is a powerful analytics platform, and it’s been a great experience to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked entering information in plain english and having it create a Chart. The AI identified some Trends, which is good enough for what we're doing. When I connected it to our AWS RedShift database, I was amazed that it did connect the first time and it wasn't a complete disaster (I fully expected it to). The non-technical users of our company are able to use this program and I am no longer bothered constantly with questions regarding reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This thing cost an arm and leg and the price is going up all the time because every time we actually use it. The Visualizations that it creates are very simple looking and the performance is somewhat slow as well when trying to do something moderately complex. The largest complaint that I have is that no matter what formula that I try to build into a report, the tool will never recognize it; even if the syntax is correct and I end up wanting to throw my mouse across the room.

I recently move to an area that relies heavily on Sigma for safety concern related data, Sigma allows us to filter and get information using very few details or even keywords it is super reliable to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed has significantly improved and the loading time and also exporting time for documents it is a lot faster now, definitely a must have tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user can easily integrate various data sources, and the dashboard functions are intuitive. It allows connection to virtually any data source, and its platform boasts a very intelligent architecture. I appreciate its ability to quickly generate reports, it has numerous features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's solution-oriented platform, and I'm quite satisfied with its features so far. The tool allows you to connect to a wide variety of data sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform provides extensive data connectivity that supports data-driven decision-making. Reports can be generated in multiple formats and connect smoothly with a range of data sources. It also includes strong data visualization tools, which makes it easier to interpret the data and quickly gain useful insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance can drop when working with very large datasets, and the learning curve can feel steep. More guided tutorials would be helpful. Also, at times, some reports take a little longer to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I enjoy about Sigma most is that it has the ability to make you feel as though you are in a spreadsheet while having access to warehouse sized amounts of data. On a day to day basis, this is where I go to slice and dice metrics, check for trends and quickly develop views that my teammates can utilize without reaching out to our data team.

When I am performing modeling work flow there are times when I find the workflow to be a bit restrictive, specifically when enforcing consistency across dashboard definitions. Also as well, I have experienced some issues when dealing with very large tables and worksheets as sometimes it will take longer to load than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
