Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

ThoughtSpot enable self-service BI, and is positioned between classical dashboard BI and AI/ML-based Data Science. It opens up opportunities for business users to better understand their data, and to develop insights on this data. Based on the natural language based query language end user can more easily navigate through their data, and build insights graphics per click. Collaboration with peers and insights consumers is enabled through a social media like sharing, commenting and voting experience. All in all a great step towards data driven company. There are similar products, but ThoughtSpot shines in its set of features and capabilities, as well as in the User Experience.

Pros

  • Natural Language Query formulation
  • Immediate response to any change in query or layout
  • Foster collaboration on developed insights

Cons

  • A true SaaS offering (e.g. like Snowflake)
  • Packaged installation based on Docker / Kubernetes
  • Full-fledged multi tenant support
  • To be explored and proven first
Quite a good UI design, and good UX. But still room to improve UX, new UX features point in the right direction.
Tableau AskData, SAC.
Quickly gain insights on new or changed data, detect hidden data patterns, quickly spot anomalies, easily leverage Cloud DataWareHouse data, e.g. in Redshift, Snowflake, Big Query, SAP Hana, etc.
