Featured Reviews

Experience Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Daily transcription has boosted my productivity and made spoken input replace manual typing
The best features Hex offers are simplicity and being really lightweight. Simplicity and being lightweight are valuable for me because it just works, making my day easier. I would also add that Hex is free, which is a nice feature. Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity. My productivity improved because before I started using Hex, I was typing everything and it was taking longer than just saying the same things. I have cut my working day by a few minutes every day because of that.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hex offers excellent features that make it fast and easy to use."
"Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity."
"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."
"Sigma has excellent features, such as lookup tables where you can easily bring data that are not interrelated or at different granularity."
"The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."
"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."
"Our finance team now runs entirely off of Sigma Computing for their monthly financial reporting."
"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 feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."
"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

"Hex can be improved if they could implement new models because there are new LLMs appearing on a weekly basis, and they are still using the same one."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"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."
"Sigma could have better reports."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
