Room For Improvement

Entrinsik Informer users seek better customization, integrations, user-friendly interfaces, training, and performance improvements, highlighting report and security challenges.
Sigma's limited visuals, complex workflows, and steep learning curve hinder usability compared to competitors like Power BI.
The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities.

Sigma lacks a versioning feature to track changes.
Technical Lead at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
It is not as intuitive as I was hoping, so once you figure it out and get going, it is easy to use, but I would say at the very beginning, the learning experience is kind of hard.

Setup Cost

Entrinsik Informer provides cost-effective licensing and maintenance options, making it appealing to enterprise users seeking competitive pricing.
Enterprise buyers find Sigma licensing costly, with high platform and creator fees, leading to a preference for view-only licenses.
The pricing of Sigma is a concern, as it restricts our ability to provide more users with report-creating capabilities due to the high cost of admin or report creator licenses.

Informer empowers end-users with the tools to retrieve their data quickly and efficiently
Customer Service: Excellent. Every case I've opened with them, or phone call I have had have been more than helpful. It is clear they care both about my needs as a customer and their product. Technical Support: Excellent. Each question I've asked, intelligent or not, has been met with the same level of professionalism and expertise. I always feel they will come to some resolution if possible and they do.

Great collaboration with intuitive interface and dynamic visualization capabilities
As we are exploring multiple features in Sigma, I think Sigma can add more functionality. As Power BI gives multiple modeling options in its interface with the query editor, those features can be added in Sigma for intuitiveness or for making the data very clean. From the dashboarding perspective, it performs well. However, from the modeling perspective, it requires more capabilities that can be added in Sigma. The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities. If they add those features in the near future, it would be very helpful for us to implement the same or do the data cleansing part in the Sigma tool itself.
