Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot
We are using ThoughtSpot to address simple use case needs where Tableau dashboards can't quite provide the self-service capabilities we would like. We plan to expand it across the whole organization but currently have only 5 projects live so far.
Pros
- Self-service. Other vendors like to cite self-service as within end users reach but not like ThoughtSpot. It is able to create a "Google-like" interface that all can understand, rather than just the trained Analyst.
- Search. Vendors are starting to work with search in their products but ThoughtSpot was built with that in mind from the beginning.
- Anomaly detection and advanced analytics. With SpotIQ, end users with very little training are able to take advantage of models that normally require specialized training.
Cons
- Back end improvement. We would love to see a more robust back end for administrators and for even loading the data into ThoughtSpot.
- Drivers. Current drivers give mixed results on loading data but we are told new ones are being developed.
- Permissions. We would like to see more granular permissions available but have been told this is coming as well.
- Higher satisfaction from end users in not having to go back to analysts with follow up questions.
- Reduced turnaround times.
