Empowering sales teams has become effortless as collaborative dashboards compare rep performance
I cannot remember specifics, but there were one or two times when I wanted to build something in a dashboard but Sigma would not let me compute the math in the way that I wanted to compute it. It felt like it was a little bit limited in ability because there were very specific functions and specific mathematical computations that Sigma allows you to do, and if you want to do something outside of that, it did not seem like it was possible. There was one time where even with a Sigma support agent, we could not figure out the most effective way to accomplish the task and run a query that we wanted to. Expanding features and abilities and functions within Sigma could be one way to improve Sigma.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."
"Having those dashboards set up in Sigma has made things easier for me and my team because it's just going into one report."
"Sigma is valuable because you can do pretty much anything you need to do within Sigma."
"Sigma's customer support is excellent, and that is actually one of the other reasons why we ended up going with Sigma, as we are able to hit the question mark and ask for support and get real live people that are very knowledgeable."
"The most valuable feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."
"Sigma is a great software for non-technical business users. If someone's familiar with pivot tables or Excel or Google Sheets, they should be able to pick up Sigma pretty quickly. There is a very low bar for onboarding."
"I find the collaborative features, such as commenting, to be very valuable."
"Sigma has positively impacted my organization by creating a culture that we are trying to add to all processes, simplifying our processes and improving our analysis effort."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"Either we are not using it properly, or the software is too complicated. It would be great if there was a way for me to create reports without relying on a data analyst."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"It felt like it was a little bit limited in ability because there were very specific functions and specific mathematical computations that Sigma allows you to do, and if you want to do something outside of that, it did not seem like it was possible."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
"I think Sigma's dashboarding has room for improvement."
"Sigma lacks a versioning feature to track changes. There is a need for better structuring, like a folder system, to organize diagrams efficiently."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
"I think Sigma can be improved because, for the last ten months since I first started here, this is my first time ever using it, and I think there is a steep learning curve."
