- "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 feature of Sigma is the detailed reports."
- "Sigma serves as the visualization and reporting front end."
Sigma’s dashboarding has limited visual options and needs advanced capabilities like those in Tableau. Users find report creation less intuitive, lacking tools for individual customization without a data analyst. Data modeling features are less comprehensive compared to Power BI, and the versioning system lacks change tracking. Users are interested in AI-driven visualization and report generation. Pricing restricts the number of admin licenses, limiting creative access for more users.
- "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."
