Just like any other BI tool.
Addresses the issue of allowing unlimited users so all people in the org can access data.
We use it for KPIs and reports

i dont do ad hoc analyses in sigma (thats what using python or R is for).
But sigma is better than Power BI in the sense of quickly collaborating on a worksheet

sorta in the middle.
One thing that differs than Domo or power bi, is that those softwares bring in the data into the platform, instead of how sigma runs a query against our data warehouse each time a user interacts with the dashboard (there is some small caching, so not always)
