Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

ThoughtSpot is currently being used by our strategy and planning organization. This group is responsible for ad-hoc analysis of data but also gets requests for one-off analysis. We're attempting to leverage ThoughtSpot as a tool for one-off analysis so that users can pull their own data without having to have a deep understanding of the other tools in play for data analysis.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Data visualization
Data insights
Ease of searching

Cons

Lots of hands on IT work needed for initial setup
Sometimes difficult to develop complex metrics

Return on Investment

Reduced time for questions to be answered
Increased throughput for analysts

Usability

The product is extremely easy to use and can be learned by anyone.

Alternatives Considered

MicroStrategy Analytics

We did not evaluate other products against Thought Spot. We do leverage microstrategy heavily in our environment and we see ThoughtSpot as an augmentation of that environment.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for ad-hoc quick requests and providing insights that may not be easily discovered. It makes quick work of searching large data sets and makes it easy for users to pull together exactly what they're looking for. It does take a bit of business and IT investment to initially get things configured to ensure it's usable for the average user.
