We performed a comparison between Sigma and Tableau based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."
"The tool's interface is easy to use. The functions listed as a part of the menu items are easy to use."
"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 data visualization piece is most valuable. We do ad-hoc analysis or one-time shot things, but there are things that we have to track every single day. When our management and our customers want to see how things are changing, the dashboarding provides that information. Tableau is key in providing that data on a refresh basis. We use a data blending tool that pumps the data into Tableau, and we just schedule it to run every single day. So, the automation of the data and being able to present it to people who are interested are the most valuable features."
"I have found Tableau easy to use and the features are superb."
"Good data flow and management."
"The use of a storyboard helps the flow of the data visualisation."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"We found Tableau has the quickest learning time out of the few other BI reporting tools that we have used."
"Tableau is highly scalable. Now that they've introduced Hyper, you can create an extract of more than 5 million rows in minutes and then do your analysis."
"The most valuable feature is that we can integrate with our own database, and it will displays the KPIs. This is highly required from the business side."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"It will be good if the server, could be more stable, and I would like to have the technical service to be more reliable."
"I would like to be able to set the parameters in a more specific manner."
"I think Tableau could be improved with cheaper or more flexible licensing, though this is a generic improvement and applies for any product. It would be better if they had more flexible payment and licensing plans so that they could suit small- and mid-sized organizations."
"Lacks machine learning algorithms that you can implement using R, SPSS Modeler, and Python."
"It should have more integration with different tools and technologies. Its licensing cost should also be improved."
"The data preparation could integrate better with Tableau."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
"The Hyper Extract functionality is not as strong as that provided by Microsoft SQL."
