"Easy Sigma Integration with Powerful Plugins and In-UI Data Editing"
What do you like best about Sigma?

I like that it’s very easy to integrate, whether you use iframes or the SDK, and that you don’t have to code everything from scratch—you can simply bring the power of Sigma into your application. I also like the custom plugins, and the fact that it lets users edit data directly in the UI and have those changes saved back to the data store, without needing to build the entire API and backend flow yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

Sometimes it’s difficult to make the Sigma panel look exactly like the application design. I find the styling options somewhat limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Dashboards, Flexible Visualizations, and Easy Data Source Setup"
What do you like best about Sigma?

Its dashboard are excellent for displaying data, and we can easily configure the data source. I like the amount of data available, it can handle large volumes of data. It allows for greater flexibility in visualizing multiple metrics, and I love its integrated data storage solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

The product is intuitive and a very powerful tool. It has an excellent user interface and is easy to use, with straightforward visualizations. The flexibility in data selection also makes it a strong visualization tool overall. I haven’t had any problems with this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Reliable Automation with a Useful API and Solid Embedding"
What do you like best about Sigma?

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.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

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.

"Highly Customizable, Easy-to-Use Reporting with Powerful Data Visualization"
What do you like best about Sigma?

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.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

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.

"Seamless Real-Time Analytics on Large Datasets with Auto-Scaling"
What do you like best about Sigma?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

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.

"Empowering BI with Ease of Use and Quick Insights"
What do you like best about Sigma?

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.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

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.

"Intuitive, Real-Time Analytics That Makes Complex Data Accessible"
What do you like best about Sigma?

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.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

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.

"Powerful, Excel-Like Analysis and Easy Dashboard Prototyping"
What do you like best about Sigma?

I liked being able to create joins, run complex calculations, and work with different aggregation levels just by dragging columns. I also liked how easy it was to prototype a dashboard. It’s straightforward to use, and I can add filters and groupings in a way that feels very similar to Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sigma?

What I liked least is that Sigma dashboards aren’t the most beautiful on the market, and I think they should be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
