Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We use ThoughtSpot to supplement Tableau in sales analytics and marketing teams. It is used for quick data access and analytics.

Pros

  • It's fast, and easy to use for non technical users.
  • Alternative non-specialist search based analytics tools are all too young to be useful.
  • There are no per user fees, so it's possible to democratise access to key data.

Cons

  • Loading data can be slow.
  • Total storage is generally limited by RAM, which makes space relatively expensive (Snowflake connector has potential to mitigate this for some users).
  • Cloud option is expensive.
  • Faster time to answers.
  • More time to question.
  • Data quality has improved as a result of greater attention.
Once you understand it and your data, this is BI at the speed of thought.
Where you have data literate users without the technical skills to write SQL, or where there are many small questions being asked of data where SQL is more cumbersome. Simpler data sets, focused on topics work best.
