Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service vs. ThoughtSpot

All marketing processes in my organization have been simplified by Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service through infusing AI and personalizing analytics in real-time.

Well suited for my clients for a Macro view of business insights, credit risk, ESG insights, etc. However, I think ThoughtSpot needs to make exploring underlying data easier, adding a feature where you can click on charts and filters will help users and especially business users to easily understand the granularities as well.

• Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service provides elasticity and scalability.
• Consolidation of thousands databases in one unified solution.
• It involves less time to run analytics workloads.

Incentivized

• Beautiful visualizations. The visuals are distinct, clean, and easy to discern from one another.
• Intelligent querying functionality. When looking to manipulate the data, the search function makes it easy to manipulate the features in the data, along with aggregating them in the way you'd like.
• Embedding! It has been a smooth process thus far for our product & technical teams to work with ThoughtSpot and bring it into our product.

Incentivized

• Lack of enough documentation and whitepapers for features.

Incentivized

• Ability to build a single dashboard tile containing the main value, a sparkline, and a percent change over time
• Easy way to build a user experience that allows for selecting different metrics to trend from a drop-down on a multi-axis graph

We have had success with the initial use cases and there are more use cases that can receive return on investment. I don't give it a 10 because other products like Tableau are building functionality that may start to compete in the coming years.

The tool is easy to use if you know what you are doing and looking for. I know as they work towards improvements and simple language it will become even easier, but as of now they are doing a great job but there is room for improvement.

it's available unless there is a server or system update etc. sometimes the timing of this is bad (for example during a month end close)

It does what it is supposed to. Would be nice to have a bit more insights

inhouse in-person training. Took a bit to long to get the basics.

Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service allocates built-in cloud automation and enhances enterprise-class business continuity by enhancing zero downtime maintenance which is contrary to other alternatives such as Apache Hive.

We also explored Tableau Ask Data. Tableau is our standard for BI in our organization. We want to use the smallest amount of tools in our company to have the best adaption. ThoughSpot will fill a few gaps that we have with our current set up and will also enhance out offering for our employees in the transition of being more data driven within in near future

Seemed to deal well with multiple instances of Sales Force Marketing Cloud

• Scalability allows us to make rapid decisions by unlocking and connecting insights to business context.

• Positive ROI immediately seen for first POC.
• Saved an immense amount of time for a sole analyst on a team by enabling the end-users to ask their own questions instead of always turning to her, allowing her to focus on other priorities.
• Immediate answer to question on second POC that led to personnel changes.
