Has supported secure report building and simplified data visualization for non-technical users

The features I find most useful in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service include data visualization desktop for self-service reports. We can export using Excel and CSV files by dragging and dropping the columns to create reports. The drag-and-drop interface in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service helps create dashboards for non-technical users as it is easy to use. By dragging and dropping columns, it creates a tabular view by default. We can convert these into many graphs and views such as pivot tables and other interactive graphical representations. I use self-service analytics in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service.

Modern dashboards and reports enhance decision-making and presentations

I would love to be able to create my own reports in Sigma, as I can do in Salesforce. 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. I'm interested in the upcoming AI co-pilot to enable natural language generation of visualizations and reports. Also, the marketing materials did not match what I feel we've received. Regarding pricing, Sigma's pricing doesn't allow more people to have the ability to create their own reports. We have very few admin or report creator licenses, while everyone else is on a view-only mode.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."

"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."

"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable. Executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."

"Sigma has excellent features, such as lookup tables where you can easily bring data that are not interrelated or at different granularity."

"I find the collaborative features, such as commenting, to be very valuable."

"Sigma serves as the visualization and reporting front end."

"Having those dashboards set up in Sigma has made things easier for me and my team because it's just going into one report."

"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."

"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."

More Sigma pros

Cons

"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."

"Quality of support varies."

"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."

"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."

"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."

"Sigma can be improved in terms of speed; it would be great if it could process the data even faster."

"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."

"Sigma could have better reports."

"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."

More Sigma cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."

"Oracle products are always going to be on the higher end of your price scale. You have to kind of accept that going in."

"The retail price is set at one thousand dollars per creator per year."
