Thoughtspot - Powerful BI Tool

Solving for human-scale data access implies solving for data-scale by definition, but data is only a means to an end; the end is to help humans do their jobs better as we approached the problem from the other end. We realized that the solution would end up being quite different than what the industry was trying to do—creating big data lakes, throwing a bunch of data in there, and connecting their existing BI tools to it, then hoping for the best. Being able to store a lot of data in a data lake does not matter. You might have a petabyte of data or maybe even two, but if only a handful of experts know how to access it, it will have a minimal impact on your business. On the other hand, if you gave accurate data access to a million human beings—whether your employees, customers, or partners—even if it were only a hundred gigabytes, it would have a significant impact on your business.
  • Powerful search
  • Maximized data sources
Cons
  • Simple reports are easy to create, and simple questions are readily answered. Complex problems that involve sub-queries etc. are tough to answer.
  • Migrating between environments could be refined.
Multiple departments use ThoughtSpot. Serves as a self-service reporting platform for users to find useful insights with data, especially intuitively using search keywords. Great for analysts to quickly gather data and glean ideas for both reconciliation and critical business decisions.

ThoughtSpot is currently being used by my department and not the whole organization. I work for an insurance client and am responsible for data analytics and visualization. Graphs and other visualizations provide a clearer understanding of what the data says and this is where ThoughtSpot comes in. My clients are trying to move completely to ThoughtSpot for any visualization requirements.
  • ThoughtSpot is great at using artificial intelligence to give some automated insights from data.
  • ThoughtSpot allows you to source data from multiple data stores like Redshift, Excel, etc.
  • Querying on ThoughtSpot is super easy.
  • It provides a wide variety of visualization.
Cons
  • Since ThoughtSpot is not widely used, there are very few tutorials.
  • ThoughtSpot needs to include a lot more customization in their visualizations.
  • Sometimes, ThoughtSpot is buggy and clients need to contact their support to resolve issues.
ThoughtSpot is by far the best BI tool for business users who are not that tech-savvy. Since querying is super easy and very intuitive, users can get insights in no time. It also supports natural language processing for querying data which takes it a step ahead of other tools. Since ThoughtSpot only charges you based on the storage you use, it helps reduce costs as well. ThoughtSpot lags behind when a user requires a lot of customization in their visualizations. It also does not have a free version for users to try and see for themselves.

Great BI tool! Easy to use, many useful features.

We embedded ThoughSpot into our AI no-code platform to enhance the BI function of our product.
  • Easy to use UI
  • Wide selections of visualizations
  • Embrace Connector
Cons
  • Drill down filter/ability to apply a filter to pinboard by clicking directly on the visualizations
  • Lack of color customization
  • More charts size options/ability to customize the charts size and shape
We selected ThoughtSpot because it's easy to embed into our platform. Also, features like SpotIQ are exciting and useful for our clients to analyze our data.

I use Thoughtspot to enable self-serve analytics on pharmaceutical data.
Thouhtspot's USP is its ease of use for the end users and they get answers from their data in just a few clicks.
Plus, with the introduction of Thoughtspot sage, the Gen AI capabilities provides users with NLP capabilites on their data - which is great for business and HQ users (who are not so tech savvy).
Lastly, feature like SpotIQ provide users with automated analysis and insights on their data - which otherwise would have required some manual intervention from a technical user.
  • Ease of Use
  • Very Fast Querying on even huge datasets
  • Strong data modelling features
Cons
  • Customizability of the visualization/liveboards
  • Addition of support for more data warehouse systems
  • Option of creating data extracts
Thoughtspot is great for promoting data democracy to the end users (primarily business users).
It enables them to build simple visualizations and pin multiple of them together on a liveboard just by entering their queries in simple natural language.
But, for building more complex visualizations, Thoughtspot lags behind other (older) BI tools in the market - as it has relatively limited customizability options for visualizations as of now.

ThoughtSpot is very user friendly and efficient but it is still "green" as a BI tool.

We currently use ThoughtSpot for the traditional company-wide KPI reports. Dashboards are developed and then shared with the appropriate group of people so they can track productivity and efficiency. With ThoughtSpot, end users also have the ability to do their own "search" to build their own graphics, but the primary use as of now remains in the pre-built dashboards.
  • Once ThoughtSpot is initially set up, it is pretty easy for end users to build their own graphics
  • The site navigation/layout is pretty intuitive so even a novice user should be able to figure out how to navigate the site and build a graphic
  • Each graphic has a nice "help" tooltip that explains exactly what is needed before that specific graphic is usable. Ex: if you want to use a Map graphic, they disable it and give you a hover saying something like "you need at least one geographical data point to use a Map"
Cons
  • The various graphics that are created to build a dashboard are not related, so if you click on a Bar in Graphic A, it will not highlight the related items in the other Graphics on the dashboard.
  • The graphics you place on a dashboard are restricted to three default sizes and you are unable to manually resize the graphic to exactly what you want/need.
  • You do not have many options when it comes to customizing each element of a graphic. You have a few standard options to "customize" but they are all pretty basic and do not give you the control that other tools allow
Good:
ThoughtSpot is very user-friendly and will make it easy for an end user to quickly search and build a graphic on their own. This will take away the wait time of having a middleman that actually creates these random graphics requests since the end user could do it themselves.

Bad:
ThoughtSpot does not have the true dashboard feel yet so if you want the nice interactive dashboard functionality where a user can click one item and filter the other graphics, this is not going to work for you.
