we use ThoughtSpot as our main dashboard and analytical tool. The main business problem was that most of our analyst team is non-technical but have great expertise in domain knowledge. There was also constrained of the data engineering team and – boarding team not understanding the domain and providing dashboard and analysis Which were time consuming, resource, heavy and not very useful to the analyst team. Hence, we built a use case across operational efficiency, resource management, as well as the use of technology technology to get insights, especially the AI, analytical part of ThoughtSpot. This allows non-technical analyst as well as the account managers to directly create stories and insights which are useful to the client in a quick and easy way.

ThoughtSpot allows us to create liveboards that are fast processing when it comes to large datasets. We are able to do live data connections that give us the scalability to find insights that ultimately guide us in strategic management of our data whether it is engineering, marketing, product, etc. This serves a wide array of use cases on whether this is strategy-focused or product-focused.

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.

Real-time insights and very user-friendly to individuals who do not have excellent knowledge or experience around software management. Accessibility to users to design their reporting and dashboards is beneficial. Tracking data and performance is a plus for me and my colleagues using the software on related programs and projects being created.

We were consulted by a State organization to analyse data collected through a wide scale user survey. Our mandate was to identify the most frequently quoted applications in calls to the Help Desk and understand their impact on overall satisfaction. After clustering by profile, data was imported into ThoughtSpot and relevant questions asked to generate answers as easy to interpret graphical representations.

In my organization we use ThoughtSpot to create management dashboards and reports. They include financial- and non financial KPI's.
This product improved the quality of our reports and dashboards. It's flexible and easy to use.
The main problem that we had with other software was the fact that we have multiple sources/databases. ThoughtSpot is able to link them al together but is still easy to use. Great product and easy to use.

It's being used by one department to support many business units. The goal is to better understand when is the best time to contact customers for purchasing. This proves to be a bit difficult as it challenges you as a data analyst to choose the right input data for the software to ingest.

Our no-code AI platform turns unstructured data into structured content to enhance existing models, products, and BI. The current BI tools all lack certain features and ThoughtSpot was the perfect choice to embed within our product. The output from our platform, when visualized with ThoughtSpot is seen very clearly, resonates with our customers, and gives them flexibility into customizing if they so choose. The additional features & querying functionality in ThoughtSpot make it easy to navigate through our data and create visuals that answer the questions a user asks.

ThoughtSpot is used to visualize outputs from NLP/AI use cases for our client. It helps to visualize output and show various trends to help clients make decisions with investment research, credit risk, ESG insights, and so on.

ThoughtSpot is a very important data analysis software for our company and department that has been used because it has been collaborating in deep and accurate analysis based on different graphs, databases, tables, and illustrative panels for business decision making. We have already had experience with several types of software of this type, but the ThoughtSpot software is the one that has more assertiveness in facts. Its level of customization is greatly improved in the interface and brings better quality in the presentation of results and reports. Technical support is another strong point because it has a fast and punctual service in solving the problem or question.

Mainly used to cater reporting needs to our external vendors. In our current scenario, we were not able to share our reporting with our vendors due to our security reasons and protocols. So, as an option to venture into other tools, we choose Thoughtspot.

We are trying to build the overall analytics in ThoughtSpot with different metrics and use cases. The purpose we bought in ThoughtSpot is to give access to external users for a better understanding of the reporting point. But we see there are a lot of limitations with the product where the analyst finds it difficult to show the pinboard as he wants to.

We are utilizing ThoughtSpot to gain additional insight into our customer's characteristics and behaviors. ThoughtSpot is currently being used across our organization to help keep all employees educated on how our customers act, what our most popular items/pages are, looking at trends, etc. It's been a great tool thus far.

We evaluated ThoughSpot for a pilot to make market research/voice of the consumer data more accessible. The pilot did not launch, but ThoughtSpot was brought into our organization to be used with Snowflake to enhance our overall data access through the "data lake." It is being used by multiple departments but siloed on the IT and data science side.

We are in the process of rolling out ThoughtSpot across the organization. This tool addresses the evaluation of different use cases across the different CRE business lines. The business can quickly connect to data and gain insights that are specific to their use cases ie space across a portfolio, spend across services, trends, etc.

We use [ThoughtSpot] as a data discovery engine. We have rolled it out to some of our clients and they use it to build pinboards to assist them to run their business and to report to executives the results of their work and efforts over the past week, month, or quarter.

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.
