Why Companies Choose Sigma Over Sisense

A Cloud-Native Start With Sigma

Sigma's generational differentiator from previous BI tools is being born in the cloud, keeping the modern cloud data platform in mind. Sigma will never hold or persist any of your data. Sigma’s spreadsheet-like interactions produce machine-generated SQL code that is executed live against your warehouse. Sigma's cloud-native architecture allows us to provide lower cost per user at scale and rapidly deploy innovative features such as:

New Spreadsheet Functions
Drill Anywhere
Live Edit Collaboration
"Bring Your Own Data" with Input Tables

Trial Our Embedding Capability Today

Embed evaluations are a snap with Sigma. Our in-app chat support and documentation ensure you can stand up a functional embedded Sigma workbook as soon as you connect to your cloud data platform. Sigma’s embedded functionality further differentiates itself with features including:

End user “Save As” capability
JSON Parsing
Enterprise Security

A Language and Interface Teams Already Know and Love

Whether data experts know spreadsheets or SQL, Sisense requires the use of ElastiCubes. In contrast, Sigma gives analysts the option to leverage their existing expertise, saving time and resources while ensuring a high rate of adoption. Sigma gives everyone—including non-technical users—the ability to query the data warehouse directly using an intuitive spreadsheet UI with familiar formulas and functions.

“If you had told me a year ago that we were going to switch embedded analytics' providers, I would’ve told you, you were crazy. Looker was integrated throughout our application. However, after running into enough roadblocks, limitations, and support issues, we started searching for alternatives and finally implemented Sigma.”
