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 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.

It felt like it was a little bit limited in ability because there were very specific functions and specific mathematical computations that Sigma allows you to do, and if you want to do something outside of that, it did not seem like it was possible.

I think Sigma can be improved because, for the last ten months since I first started here, this is my first time ever using it, and I think there is a steep learning curve.

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.

Sigma lacks a versioning feature to track changes. There is a need for better structuring, like a folder system, to organize diagrams efficiently.
