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.

  • The interface is pleasing. Makes you feel like you have access to some future tech software you would see in a Bond film or something.
  • Their customer service has been top notch as far as I can tell.
  • When there are questions they are quick to respond or reach out to colleagues that might better know.
  • Better communicating the limitations of the software. It's not valuable to me to know that it's a sign of success that "purchased" is included in the data set for successful transactions.
  • Giving direction on data cleanliness could be improved.

  • Great features including notifications, drilldowns, and search.
  • Easy user access management.
  • We ran into issues when it came to modeling our data because we have billions of rows of data.
  • Sometimes creating the calculations was difficult.

  • Beautiful visualizations. The visuals are distinct, clean, and easy to discern from one another.
  • Intelligent querying functionality. When looking to manipulate the data, the search function makes it easy to manipulate the features in the data, along with aggregating them in the way you'd like.
  • Embedding! It has been a smooth process thus far for our product & technical teams to work with ThoughtSpot and bring it into our product.
  • Drill down in a dashboard could be improved, with the ability to click around the various visuals to then filter down the entire dashboard (i.e., click on a date and all visuals reflect data from that date).
  • For some of the visuals, additional color representation would be nice in some cases. When working with the sentiment, sometimes a green to red gradient is desired by an end-user.

  • Clean UI, I like the UI as it looks very clean and modern.
  • Filters, ability to create custom filers and explore data underlying in tables.
  • It would be great if ThoughtSpot can add the feature to filter by clicking on visualizations. i.e if I click on a particular data point in the chart if the full dashboard can filter just for that particular data point.
  • Color coding the heatmap with different colors like green to orange to red.

  • User-friendly and customizable interface.
  • Function to create personalized reports and rich in details of the analyzed data.
  • Very fast and accurate in the content filter.
  • Smart dashboard, graphs and tables to illustrate the information to the analyst.
  • Real time analysis.
  • Graphs are excellent ways of visualizing the data, but I feel like there are very few options available in terms of choice. It can be improved.
  • It's complex for beginners. Training or intensive is required to learn all the features and get the most out of the software.

  • ThoughtSpot provides the ease of creating reports based on the metrics you're looking for.
  • I personally like how you can have a report template and then easily add new columns to your report based on your KPI's.
  • I like how you can add visual graphs to the pinboard and it's not just the data, but I also like that you can export the data into excel so you or your customer can manipulate the data to achieve the look and feel you're looking for.
  • There's not really anything that I don't like. In fact, I wish I had more access to the backend features (and not just our engineering team), so I could create even more reports.

  • It provides user-friendly access to complex analysis for those with limited program experience.
  • It has a fair pricing model with unlimited users that pay for the data processing usage.
  • It provides good customer service and partnership that's reliable and able to solve issues quickly.
  • I would appreciate easier access to test or pilots for implementation.
  • I would like a "lite" version for new or non-power users.

  • Quick to insights
  • Beautiful charts
  • Easy to set up
  • Print to PDF is not fully supported and that has a big impact on sharing pinboards with executives.
  • In my opinion, customer support is slow to react and often leads to an endless circle of tickets that sometimes never get resolved. I feel like this involves finger-pointing from one team to another and I find it very frustrating.
  • The search bar is really nothing like Google search. In my experience, the cursor moves in odd places and the results of a basic search are far more difficult to get than a Google search. I feel like it's a long way to go here.
