Considered Both Products	ThoughtSpot Verified User Engineer Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot can handle large datasets A LOT better. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot was much easier from an end-user perspective. Looker and Tableau allowed for more customization and detailed dashboards. Incentivized Helpful? Nikhil Sinha Business Technology Solutions Associate Chose ThoughtSpot Thoughtspot is a fairly new tool when compared to Tableau. I'll just list the benefits of each one of threse below - Tableau - 1. Much more customizable the Thoughtspot Incentivized Helpful? Leah Tolan, Ed.S. Program Manager Chose ThoughtSpot Have not used as much, tried ThoughtSpot out for the first time for evaluation and testing purposes to see if this type of software would be helpful. Incentivized Helpful? Henri Ajenstat Analytics Market Manager Chose ThoughtSpot Much easier to handle for quick turnaround analytics projects Incentivized Helpful? HP Harsh Paliwal BI Chose ThoughtSpot we were looking for something which provides self service capabilities and something which very eay to use from users perspective. Incentivized Helpful? TV Tommie van der Linden Financial Controller Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot has more possibilities, is easier to use and can combine much more info to get the report you want. Also, because you can replace other software, it's cheaper. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Strategist Chose ThoughtSpot Not as great on visualization or addressability but overall better. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose ThoughtSpot I liked thought spot because of the ad-hoc capabilities and their search functionality. Incentivized Helpful? KS Keenan Singh Director of Customer Success Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot is the leader in embedded analytics and is much easier to work with massive volumes of data. None of the other tools listed had both of those functionalities, which were most important to us. There are other features that they have such as easier drill down, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Account Manager Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot is my top choice from the above two as the UI is the most modern and user-friendly as well. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot is more powerful of a tool than something like QlikView or QlikSense with the correct training. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose ThoughtSpot Compare to Kibana, which was we used previously, ThoughtSpot is definitely better in terms of UI, visualizations, usability, and the SpotIQ/ML components. The only disadvantage for ThoughtSpot is the lack of drill-down function/click-on filters. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User General Manager Chose ThoughtSpot much more extensible and much easier to embed Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose ThoughtSpot The main reason for selecting Thoughtspot was to share reporting with other external vendors and ease of doing business. Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose ThoughtSpot We have been using Tableau as the enterprise reporting tool and felt sending data to external people had few restrictions hence we tried with ThoughtSpot. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose ThoughtSpot ThoughtSpot can similarly generate tables, visuals, and dashboards in Tableau, but in a faster and easier way. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Mann VP Product Strategy Chose ThoughtSpot We liked the support we were getting in the sales process (this has continued to be fantastic), I personally knew several people in the company. In the pilot we ran, our devs enjoyed working with ThoughtSpot. Incentivized Helpful? Tawanna Armstrong Vice President, Global Sr. BI Platform Owner, JLL Technologies Chose ThoughtSpot We have multiple BI Applications that are used based on the needs of the different business users. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose ThoughtSpot We selected ThoughtSpot with the promise that it would evolve into a Google search for business insights. To date, it has not gotten close in my opinion. Incentivized Helpful? Prashast Vaish Decision Scientist Chose ThoughtSpot Tableau is indeed better than ThoughtSpot (as of now), but the license for Tableau is expensive. ThoughtSpot integrates BI with AI, which kind of looks like the future. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Supervisor Chose ThoughtSpot I have only used ThoughtSpot. I have not used any other product like it before. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose ThoughtSpot We chose ThoughtSpot over ES because of its UI/UX and Ai augmented BI offering. Kendra is in its infancy and we could afford the wait. Incentivized Helpful? Kevin Clarke Compliance Testing Manager Chose ThoughtSpot I have used other BI tools, but I do not have enough experience with them to give a true rating. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	ThoughtSpot
Likelihood to Recommend	ThoughtSpot 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.

Pros	ThoughtSpot 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 KS Keenan Singh Director of Customer Success Read full review
