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 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 most valuable aspect for me is having real-time data."
"Analysis is now more visual than in the past."
"Gradual scalability from simple to complex situations"
"Tableau has improved my organization in a variety of ways, one of its uses being that of data analysis. A feature I have found most valuable is the ease of use and straightforwardness, in addition to the flexibility of Tableau."
"It's very user-friendly. It's not like Power BI, Tableau is very user-friendly. Anybody can use Tableau. It's very easy to adopt things. I can visualize the stats."
"A valuable feature of Tableau is that it is a useful tool for small setups. I shuffle between Tableau and MicroStrategy, so I use Tableau for personal purposes more than enterprise. I like the light version of Tableau for personal usage and doing some use cases on my own. When it comes to something small, I use Tableau for setups, rather than any other tool."
"Tableau is easy to use."
"Tableau has many good features. It is user-friendly, has a simple-to-use interface, and has a customizable dashboard."
"It is definitely easy to use. It is intuitive, and more or less, everything can be done from the front end. As such, there is no concept of metadata. You can just take data from a database and start building your own stuff, such as OLAP data warehouse. You don't need extensive metadata modeling like Oracle BI."
"The only minor area for improvement lies in handling highly complex visualizations."
"The product's roadmap regarding introducing new features in the solution or new versions of the tool can be made better in the future."
"I would like to see better visualization options. That would allow me to build out more visually pleasing dashboarding in Sigma."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"Licensing and pricing options could be made better so that more users would be able to use it."
"The only issue with the solution is with its prices at a regional level."
"The solution needs to improve its integration capabilities."
"It needs more ETL capabilities, to be able to address the end-to-end BI need."
"I don't have the ability in Tableau to create a tooltip and see the picture of a piece of jewelry or watch that is a best seller."
"It would be nice if we could export more raw data. Currently, there is a limit as to how much data you can export."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
