How ThoughtSpot Differs From Its Competitors

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Overall, it's fairly accurate but it does need to understand the context of the data so you need to spend time setting up the data model correctly.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

Utilize the strengths of cloud, more compute, faster insights, quicker decision making, better performance

Incentivized

I would say that if a new user started to log in and begin the first module of ThoughtSpot University, they could knock that out in about 1 day if they focused on it. Then getting up to speed with the application would probably take 1 week given that they are using it every day and truly trying to …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Very fast, usually under 15 seconds. The Sage feature allows natural language questions and can typically get it right, or on the chance that it is wrong, it can at least point you in the right direction. You can take the query statement it created and just modify it to suit your exact question.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

We were already using cloud data warehouses before. ThoughtSpot just plugged into what we were already using.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

ThoughtSpot has been great for us to utilise our cloud data warehouse, especially for non-tech team as they always required someone with a knowledge of sequel and cloud architecture to go into the cloud base database to access it and export the data and excel but now we thought they could do …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Normally it takes a few days to get access to the data if the data is available or prepared. If not, to be able to get the date, clean it, do the transformations needed, and create a new dashboard I can take from 1 week to 3 months, depending on the complexity.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

They used to be accurate and rapid. We have gained agility with ThoughSpot. Also, since any user can prepare their views and calculations, it is easier than before that any user gets the exact data he or she needs.

The AI feature automates the process so the user can search using a Google like interface to get the data they need and they don't …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Not too long - particularly after they have created a couple of dashboards/views. First experience can be a bit weird coming from platforms like Tableau, as ThoughtSpot is more human-language similar. But it is not complex (at least to get the basic use).

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Most of our users tend to stick to the pre-formatted reports we provide, but our power users have been pretty quick to learn how to customize.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

The ad hoc answers are great, it is so easy to jump in and quickly ask a question about our data or a particular client's usage. Its only limited by the amount of data we have been able to feed in.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

We moved our analytics data to Snowflake in anticipation of selecting a vendor like ThoughtSpot. The architecture and the ability to work directly with Snowflake tables made implementation easy.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

New users are able to spin up relatively quickly. One of the things that ThoughtSpot does really well is it has a very verbose and built out documentation site. This provides new users plenty of resources to use when spinning up on ThoughtSpot to get the data that they need.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Very accurate and timely. We currently use ThoughtSpot to power a custom reporting suite in one of our vertical products. There is growth to be done there, but overall the ad hoc piece works well. Although we would like to be able to restrict the ad hoc access at times.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

we had access to Snowflake before using ThoughtSpot, but it has certainly helped with our adoption of Snowflake across the company.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Depends, primarily 1-2 months of using the UI and working with the formulas

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Relatively quickly. Customer service is always available on the weekdays and support teams can meet you over Zoom.

Databricks and Snowflake connections are robust and can allow us to create liveboards with large data sources.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Thoughspot is fairly easy to learn and new users - users without any prior technical knowledge can also get onboarded to performing simple activities on their data within 3-4 days.
The more advanced functionalities, a user can get accustomed to within a week or so.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Thoughtspot provides instant answers on the search queries run on the live data.
The anwers are accurate as long as the end user knows keywords and method of querying on the data.
Although thoughtspot can mostly return relatively simpler answers, and the more complex ones might result in inaccuracies.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

Thoughtspot already has support for many cloud data warehouses like Amazon Redshift, Snowflake, Starburst etc., so it was easy for me to migrate the existing data on other BI tools to Thoughtspot.
But, I did notice that there were some data warehouses that Thouhtspot didn't support, although their …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Not long at all if you are familiar with similarities in other software, but it may be useful to look up steps and or tutorials.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

Their responses are pretty accurate. I try not to rely on it completely and like to double check my work, sometimes the formulas are not read properly, but that is expected with integrating data in software at any time.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

It certainly has encouraged more enabling of utilizing cloud data services more, but it is still being tested.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

2 - 3 weeks suffice to become a power user, able to tackle standard level data analytics

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

We did not experience any visible issue with accuracy of results

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

Not applicable in our case ; we had our own IT to support us

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

It would be very quick for a new user to connect a database and then start building a dashboard, likely less than a day or two. However, to use the full functionality and to work with various datasets, I would say a couple of weeks is enough to get up to speed.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

We were using AWS and Snowflake before, we still are with ThoughtSpot.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

they need initially onboarding training for ThoughtSpot and then with some support they are able to generate atleast basic insights within 2-3 weeks

With TS we are using redshift as cloud Database and with TS SaaS offering and redshift db we are now able to generate more real time decisions

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Depending on the user but I would say it takes a few weeks/month to get up to speed.
It's easy to use and very user friendly.
With some help you are able to adjust and do things yourself in about an hour.
The lay-out is great and buttons make sense.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

ThoughtSpot is able to combine multiple sources/databases. Next to that you are able to make the report or lay-out the way you want.
That makes it flexible and easy the create the overview you want. This way it's easy to answer the data questions as they promise. Great product.

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

It has improved it and enabled the possibility to combine sources/databases.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

It depends on the out-of-the-box product. We are building on top of ThoughtSpot very quickly as we are hiding many of the ThoughtSpot features. I would say it's taken our team a few weeks to get a pretty decent handle on all of the foundational ThoughtSpot features. We have not explored Natural …

Incentivized

Cloud Data Support

We use Google Big Query. Getting ThoughtSpot hooked up to it was a snap.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

This depends on the time they choose to dedicate to the tool. I was the Data BI Admin over the tool for over a year and when I had new people I would sit down with them and explain how it worked and those who were willing to go mess around with the tool and asked questions learned very quickly. …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

As long as the data is correct coming from your data source ThoughtSpot has time and time again provided me with answers within a very short window. The trouble that many companies run into is data access, generally the data review does not take too long it is the access that is the issue. …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

In my opinion, a fledgling can pick up ThoughtSpot in about 3 to 4 weeks. This can be optimized by putting in more hours.

Since querying on ThoughtSpot is super easy, it does not take a lot of time for users to respond to ad-hoc tasks.

Incentivized

We use Redshift as a data warehouse and ThoughtSpot helps us directly connect it to Redshift clusters and get data to the frontend quickly.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

For smaller data set < 50 MB users and upload their data and search it right away.<br>For bigger data set and structures there has to be a time frame between 1-5 weeks depending on the complexity of the use case. Also data privacy need have to be part of the equation, if they have to be applied.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

ThoughtSpot is calculating 100 accurate, when the data model and the formulas are set up in the right way. This has to be done by the data owner and use case owners. End user trust the results to their answers, if they are the same in the original systems. This has to be checked before releasing …

Cloud Data Support

It helps us a lot, by giving us the possibility to connect to the cloud data warehouse and use ThoughtSpot as the visualization on top of it. No need to load data anymore, no need for ETL. Connect and search.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

I've found that it takes roughly a month for users to become proficient in ThoughtSpot. There's some documentation and training on ThoughtSpot's site but it also has a built-in formula assistant that explains formulas and gives syntax examples. It is based on UNIX, so it can be a little different …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

The answers that I get as an ad-hoc request that I use ThoughtSpot for are fantastic. ThoughtSpot is incredibly easy to use, so if the data within ThoughtSpot is complete and whole, it is correct.

It is a great tool and I recommend it to anyone.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Honestly - a while. Most of our end users are nurses and pharmacists. The informatics group does better. The average user and especially new to using or data takes 60-90 to understand what they are seeing... beyond that, we move them to understanding the insights and discussing an action plan.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

If you 'miss pair' terms, you will get various output. We are having to teach our customers how to put relatable terms together to optimize their output (and reliability) using pre-build starter kits related to problematic themes. If we simplify let them start from scratch, they likely …

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

Our training sessions for ThoughtSpot are much shorter. Users can build productive insights after a one-hour training. Other tools may take four to six hours of training to achieve the same productivity.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Accuracy

The outputs have the right level of accuracy as long as your data foundation is right. The performance of the tool is exceptional.

Incentivized

ThoughtSpot Time to Value

I have literally trained users in 5 minutes on the basic functions that enabled them to retrieve the data they needed.<br>On average we can train a large number of users in less than 30 minutes.<br>Many users are self taught and frequently ask about more complex tasks but the tool is so intuitive …

Data accuracy is only as good as the data we load into ThoughtSpot. However, leaders have found they can get faster and just as accurate answers from ThoughtSpot than from the official enterprise reporting tool.<br>
