Verified User Chose Sigma Sigma has the capabilities of the other BI tools. I think it's pretty user friendly and easy to learn.

Verified User Chose Sigma I have found that Tableau can be used to create a greater variety of custom and complex visuals, though these visuals are far more difficult to create in a quick turnaround. While Sigma may be more limited in terms of what types of visuals can be create or how customized they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sigma With Looker, to be effective, a substantial amount of coding & modeling needs to happen in LookML.

Verified User Chose Sigma Not even a comparison, Sigma is a far superior BI and data visualization tool Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Sigma sorta in the middle.

Tyler Lawson Director of Analytics in Corporate at Workato (Computer Software, 201-500 employees) Chose Sigma Sigma is by far the best.
