How ThoughtSpot Differs From Its Competitors

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).

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.

Scenarios where you don’t need a static dashboard, but a dashboard to play with, easily add data, remove it, change how it is visualized… I’d recommend having a basic view that allows users to avoid a lot of pre configuration and just need to type in what they want to see.

It is well suited when the same data is consumed by many different people with different analytics and visualization requirements because, if you have the data available in ThoughtSpot, every user can prepare different views.

Also, it is a good reporting tool, you can get rid of slides if you have a good dashboard prepared, gaining flexibility and agility.

I think that if a company is looking to roll out a suite of reporting more centrally focused on ad hoc reporting and not necessarily looking to lock down their environment and report creation to strictly and internal analytics or BI team, ThoughtSpot fits that use case. Anything that needs more structure/limitation is not right for ThoughtSpot.

ThoughtSpot is really useful. If you have domain experts who lack technical abilities and you need them to get to insights and stories real quick. It is not useful when you have large data engineering teams who have the practical knowledge of the domain or the data. Scientist do have the domain knowledge as the product is expensive

It is excellent if you want to give access to a tool to many people who aren't BI experts. We removed our BI teams as a dependency for most users to build out reports and access data. From an admin perspective, there are a handful of frustrations, but we can get over those. I would recommend a more advanced tool like Looker or Tableau if you want very advanced customization options and to build feature-packed dashboards.

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.

Regularly, we need to analyse relationships between variables and represent them in a format easy to interpret by non statisticians. ThoughtSpot is of great help in this phase of the analysis to articulate insights backedup by graphical evidence.We are kless at ease with ThoughtSpot where mixed models are required (FC–AFC–FCA). Then we resort to specialised statistical packages (XLSTAT or SPSS).

ThoughtSpot is well suited for: Embedding use cases Working with large volumes of data (>TBs) Use cases that involve lots of questions from an end-user, the search querying, and SpotIQ helps out here ThoughtSpot is not well suited for: Use cases that want an easier drill down/filtering with the visuals Users who want a word cloud of any kind.

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.

An enhanced data analysis software with effective artificial intelligence.

It is a cloud software with great BI analysis and artificial intelligence capabilities and excellent real-time data analysis capabilities in graphs and dashboards and data export in reports. We recommend it to anyone interested in this kind of intelligent and accurate information analysis technology that can aid decision-making, business, and development. The insights we use are always reliable and help us every day. I recommend technical support because they always helped us to clear doubts about the software and features.
