Switch from Sigma to Luzmo
Sigma makes spreadsheets live in the cloud. For analysts who love Excel and want to query the warehouse directly, it’s a strong internal BI tool. But embedding those spreadsheets into your SaaS product is clunky.
Luzmo gives you that same end-user freedom, but with an embedded-first design. Dashboards feel like part of your app, not a bolted-on spreadsheet. From CSS control to advanced interactivity, you scale customer analytics without sacrificing your product’s design.
Don’t give your customers a spreadsheet when they expect a polished analytics experience.
