Dashboards everyone can build and trust
Build dashboards in a spreadsheet or with Sigma Assistant, on live warehouse data and inside the permissions you already manage.
A spreadsheet on live data
Build in the spreadsheet interface people already know, on live warehouse data with no extract to refresh.
Ask, answer, and build
Ask Sigma Assistant a question and check how it got the answer, or describe a dashboard and build it together.
Metrics teams agree on
Dashboards read your governed data models, so finance, sales, and operations see the same revenue.
Trusted by 2,000+ leading enterprises around the world
Dashboards people trust and come back to
Views run on the warehouse, so the dashboard and the system of record agree.
Always current
The dashboard and the warehouse agree
Filters, controls, and cross-filtering run against current data, so nobody reconciles a dashboard against the source before a meeting.
- Direct queries, no extracts
- A spreadsheet interface people already know
- Caching that cuts repeat queries to your warehouse
No backlog
Ask a question or describe the dashboard
Ask Sigma Assistant a question on any workbook and see how it got the answer, or describe a dashboard and it builds the first version for you to edit.
- Drafts the first version of a workbook
- Answers questions on published workbooks
- Uses only data the person can already see
Consistent metrics
One definition per metric
Dashboards inherit the governed data model, so marketing, finance, and operations see the same revenue number.
- Shared data models across workbooks
- Endorsed, warning, and deprecated tags
- dbt Semantic Layer metrics and warehouse semantic models
Down to the row
Drill from billions of rows to a single one
Queries run on your warehouse, so a dashboard over billions of rows cross-filters as fast as a small one. Any point opens to its rows, with no extract or summary table in between.
- Billions of rows, queried live
- Open any total to the rows behind it
- No extracts, samples, or summary tables
Safe changes
Ship changes like software
Version tags promote changes from dev to prod, workbook changes get reviewed in Git like any other code, and version history restores an earlier version when something breaks.
- Full version history
- Promotion with version tags, approval-gated if you want
- Restore an earlier version
Migration
Move off legacy BI without starting over
Teams move to Sigma by keeping the dashboards people open, merging the near-copies, and rebuilding the rest on live data.
- 1
Keep what people open
Most BI estates carry dashboards no one has opened in months. The assessment reads usage, so you start with the ones people rely on.
- 2
Merge the near-copies
One dashboard with controls for region, team, or segment replaces the copies made for each audience.
- 3
Rebuild on live data
Sigma Migration Skills, in your AI coding assistant, convert each dashboard into a workbook on your warehouse and check its numbers against the original.
Move people over and retire the old platform
Share the new workbooks, run both side by side for a cycle, then retire the old BI server and its extract refreshes.

Governed by the setup you already have
Dashboards follow the permissions in Sigma and the policies in your warehouse, whoever is viewing.
Endorsed workbooks
Tag workbooks as endorsed, warning, or deprecated so people know what to trust.
Per-user OAuth
Connect with OAuth so queries run with each person’s own warehouse role.
Row- and column-level security
Reads and writes both inherit your table policies.
Audit trail
Audit logs record user activity, AI conversations, and input table edits, so you can see who changed what.
Your data stays put
Sigma queries your warehouse in place and never copies the data out.
Certified
SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001.
Built for the builder
Teams build their own dashboards on governed data, without waiting on the data team.

Business intelligence FAQ
Which data warehouses does Sigma work with?
Sigma connects to cloud data platforms including Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift. See the Help Center for current connections.
Does Sigma store a copy of our data?
No. Sigma queries your warehouse directly, so dashboards always show current data and nothing leaves your environment.
Can we migrate existing dashboards?
Yes. Sigma Migration Skills convert existing content into live workbooks, and our team helps plan which dashboards to move first.
How do we keep everyone on the same numbers?
Build on a shared data model and mark trusted workbooks as endorsed. Dashboards that use the model all show the same definitions.
How is access controlled?
Permissions and row-level security come from your warehouse and from Sigma’s own access controls, and they apply to all viewers.
