Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

Very easy to use, fast and accurate.
ThoughtSpot is being used at my company to create business insights and make data easily accessible for the non-technical users. It is used across the whole organization in varying capacity depending on a user's role. We had a significant backlog of reporting changes before implementing ThoughtSpot. After implementing ThoughtSpot the backlog has reduced significantly due to enhanced self-service.
  • Self-service is the biggest advantage of ThoughtSpot.
  • The query performance is very fast.
  • It is very easy to spot data quality issues
  • Data discovery is easily available.
  • I think visualizations can be better.
  • Data prep is missing. This feature is available in most of the market leading tools.
  • Advanced analytics and predictive analytics can be improved as well. ThoughtSpot answers WHAT but does not answer WHY.
  • We were able to make good utilization of our data thanks to ThoughtSpot.
It only takes minutes for the users to come up to speed on ThoughtSpot. I do wish the natural language search was widely available.
Very accurate and fast.
BI resources now have time to spend on higher value projects.
The best use case for ThoughtSpot is data democratization. I think it is less useful for data scientists who want to connect their own data and do advanced algorithms on top of it. Another good use case for ThoughtSpot is to understand data quality issues across the organization. It can easily identify anomalies automatically.
