ThoughtSpot Everywhere: Engaging analytics experiences with search & AI. Businesses today run on apps, and those apps run on data. Too often, however, that data is presented in stale, static dashboards. Users want to be able to surface and explore insights on their own.

Perfect for Financial/Sales Data Crunching
ThoughtSpot was used primarily by the reporting and analytics team to generate dashboard reports used across the entire organisation. ThoughtSpot helps summarise various metrics and parameters essential to quantify business performance. Moreover, automation of reports using ThoughtSpot significantly reduces developer effort as well as time taken to generate and share reports.
- Using ThoughtSpot is fairly straightforward. Interface is easy to use, can be learned quickly.
- Support service provided is great. They are prompt and helpful.
- Works brilliantly for finance-related reporting.
- Initial setup of the tool can be quite a pain. Not as easy to set up as Looker or Oracle BI.
- Search primarily works based on keywords - language processing could be better.
- Not as productive for running analytics outside of finance/sales data.
Compared to most reporting and analytics tools of a similar nature, ThoughtSpot seems to work particularly well with financial and sales related data. In terms of ease of use, ThoughtSpot ranks above average. On the other hand, there are dozens of basic features (esp. reporting) from tools like Oracle that are surprisingly not available on ThoughtSpot.

Thoughtspot: google your data
Thoughtspot is used in my organisation as a Google for data; predominantly thoughtspot is used by our senior management to find trends and compare sales performance. Thoughtspot is a powerful tool for general day to day data analysis and provides a quick glance at KPIs for your organisation.
- It's a Google for data
- Thoughtspot can process huge amounts of data smoothly
- It is generally very fast with rendering visuals on large datasets
- Great support staff
- Thoughtspot does not have a mobile app
- It cannot perform group by functions effectively
- Not meant for complex visualizations
- Not flexible enough for users to build combination charts
- Answer Rocket
While Thoughtspot runs on "keyword search" technology, it needs the users to import data and build the data model in thoughtspot which creates a duplicate copy of your data mart. Answer Rocket uses "NLP (Natural Language Processing)" to work on your existing database and while the queries may be a little slow it does not create the need to load, store and maintain a duplicate copy of your data mart.

ThoughtSpot - from a user/admin perspective
We are using ThoughtSpot throughout the organization. I've personally trained our call center supervisors in the use of the tool along with retraining our corporate users repeatedly. I am the in-house expert on ThoughtSpot.
Our main use case is research and ad-hoc exploration. Tasks that would take hours to days previously are completed within 1/2 hour and span millions of rows of data in the process. Specifically, we are speeding up our access to data (user license limitations are removed with ThoughtSpot) and speed of insight (e.g. ad hoc exploration).

Specifically, we are speeding up our access to data (user license limitations are removed with ThoughtSpot) and speed of insight (e.g. ad hoc exploration).
- Millions of rows via in-memory database creates quick-insight/access to data
- No user license restrictions (license is based on data loaded to the instance)
- Easy Google-like interface for querying data
- Simply put, ThoughtSpot is a new product. formatted/pixel-perfect reports are not what ThoughtSpot is good at.
- Limited app-level administration controls.
- Limited in allowing modification to "loaded" tables. For example, a DBA likes fields in a proper order. ThoughtSpot relies heavily on unchanged table structures (assigned by guide) and so new field adds must be added to the end or all relationships and reports are invalidated. This is not the end of the world.
- SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform and Tableau Desktop
In ad-hoc reporting...ThoughtSpot is superior in speed-to-results. The other products are capable, however, they require SQL coding and setup that ThoughtSpot only requires on initial load of data. Both PowerBI and ThoughtSpot use a text-based "natural language" query engine, however, PowerBI forces the user within a very narrow dataset path, whereas ThoughtSpot will allow broad queries across all tables (just don't select any data sources).

ThoughtSpot analysis for Health organisations
We looked at ThoughtSpot at a time where we wanted to explore the idea of natural language based analytics. This would be used to augment our current investment in other technologies such as QlikSense.
To this end, we carried out a proof of concept to understand how the product could meet our needs.
To this end, we carried out a proof of concept to understand how the product could meet our needs.
- The company behind ThoughtSpot is very professional and keen to work with you.
- The product is very good for traditional business-related scenarios such as spend, orders, and purchase related queries.
- The interface is reasonably good and intuitive.
- ThoughtSpot does not allow for true natural language. What it does is allow keywords to be used which it interprets and is similar to the way you might look for a product using Amazon.
- The product is a challenge when it steps outside of traditional sales-based analysis. In our case, we wanted to analyse health data which is far more complicated and prone to variance.
ThoughtSpot is a contender if you do not have any BI self-service analytical tools. It may complement existing solutions but likely you would choose a roadmap to retire the old service and move onto ThoughtSpot.
You have little access to the algorithms used but ThoughtSpot can and do tailor them for your needs.

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"
- 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
ThoughtSpot is just as good at creating the initial graphic for the end user, it might even be better because the user really does not need much technical knowledge in order to create a basic graphic. Currently, ThoughtSpot cannot yet compete with the other tools when it comes to designing a fully interactive dashboard or with customization of graphics.
