Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot
ThoughSpot is being used increasingly across the organization. It has taken root within merchandising and continues to expand from there. It has helped enable quick access to information for non-technical users. Further data needs to be ingested to unlock the benefits for the supply chain group. Initial attempts to replicate existing reporting in ThoughtSpot have identified some limitations with respect to formatting.
- Speed
- Dynamic ability to drill down/up.
- Ability to share information.
- Initial attempts to replicate existing reporting in ThoughtSpot have identified some limitations with respect to formatting (year over year, week over week comparisons, etc.).
- Creating search string to get the data you want is not as intuitive as it is made out to be.
- Tweaking search string to generate visualizations in desired format is not always clear.
- Still in infancy, not quite there yet in terms of ROI, but promising.
Certainly, this is company/business/use specific, but ThoughtSpot is fairly intuitive and most anyone with at least some business intelligence reporting experience can start creating queries/reporting right away. This, of course, assumes that all the underlying data is loaded and curated accordingly. That said and in place, I think a few hours of additional/dedicated training will go a long way to getting users very proficient with ThoughSpot.
This all depends on the underlying data being loaded and curated accordingly. If so, ThoughtSpot is very accurate and timely.
We have yet to enable SpotIQ.
