More Google Cloud Datalab Pros →

"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.""The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use.""The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."

Cons
"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience.""There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option.""The product must be made more user-friendly.""The interface should be more user-friendly.""We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."

That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma.""The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
