Reporting FAQ

Common questions about enterprise reporting with Sigma.

Can Sigma replace existing enterprise reporting tools like SAP BusinessObjects, MicroStrategy, Qlik, IBM Cognos, or OBIEE?

Yes. Sigma is designed to replace legacy BI tools by delivering the same enterprise-grade reporting capabilities—formatted financial statements, scheduled distribution, and governed access—directly on your cloud data warehouse. Many enterprises have successfully migrated from these platforms to Sigma, consolidating thousands of reports into governed, live workbooks.

What makes Sigma different from other BI platforms when it comes to reporting with cloud data?

Sigma is the only BI platform that combines a familiar spreadsheet interface with direct cloud warehouse connectivity. This means your reports are always live (no extracts or cubes), analysts can build and format reports without SQL, and the warehouse handles all compute—so you get real-time insights at billion-row scale.

How does Sigma handle permissions and data governance for enterprise reports?

Sigma enforces governance at multiple levels: Row-Level Security (RLS) and Column-Level Security (CLS) ensure users only see authorized data, version history tracks every change, and endorsement workflows let admins mark reports as 'Trusted.' All permissions can be managed via SSO, SCIM, or the Sigma API.

How many unique cuts of data can I send per burst?

Sigma's export bursting can dynamically generate and send personalized reports to thousands of recipients from a single master workbook. Each recipient receives only their slice of data, governed by the same RLS policies that control interactive access.

What happens to my existing reports when migrating from another platform?

Sigma supports phased migrations that preserve your business logic. Teams typically start by replicating high-value reports in Sigma while running legacy systems in parallel, then gradually expand. The spreadsheet interface means analysts can rebuild reports without learning new skills, and Sigma's architecture ensures the migrated reports run faster on modern cloud infrastructure.
