Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ThoughtSpot has been revolutionary in day-to-day reporting and analytic needs. We rolled out the tool throughout merch organization first and it allowed for ease of use and access to most granular information. That allows for quicker decision making, as well as needed customization for end-users. While we started with roll out to merch first, we ended up implementing the tool with supply chain, branding, marketing, procurement, etc. All to great success and high adoption rate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Ad hoc searches
Custom functions such as top 10, vs, quarter to date, etc.
Ability to combine tabular representation of info and visuals

Cons

Ease of formula creation
More custom visuals

Return on Investment

Less ad hoc asks to BI teams
Consistency in reporting throughout the company
Ease of data access

Usability

I love usability of the tool being the data junky. It's quick, there are not too many bells and whistles so it's straight to the point.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are looking for a picture perfect copy of an existing report and visual, this may not be the tool for you. You can recreate visuals but they may not look the same.
The strength of the ThoughtSpot tool is its search and ability to do quick data pull or quick analysis on the fly.
