Room For Improvement

Entrinsik Informer users seek better customization, integrations, user-friendly interfaces, training, and performance improvements, highlighting report and security challenges.
Sigma requires advancements in complex queries, visualization, user interface, data modeling, collaboration, and faster processing, with improved Snowflake integration.
The main improvement needed is in data modeling capabilities.
Lead Analytics Consultant at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
It is about being able to hold people within the tight context of the data in the dashboard and being able to interact with it conversationally.
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.
Sigma offers moderate pricing with flexible licensing, though high admin costs may limit report creation access, saving infrastructure expenses.
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.

Systems Analyst / Data Architect at a university with 51-200 employees
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.

Lead Analytics Consultant at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
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.
