Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It's used across the whole organization. It's been useful for addressing the big amount of queries we receive on a daily basis, as the platform is user-friendly and you can direct people that normally wouldn't run a report in a ERP.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Intuitive platform, easy to learn how to use it.
Lots of charts possibilities, and presentation mode saves you hours doing PowerPoint presentations.
It's quite easy to upload a new database to analyse different datasets.

Cons

There's still some work to be done in presentation mode.
The tool could be a bit faster.

Return on Investment

I think ThoughtSpot helped save a lot of time of people (mostly in IT and Finance), so there's a tangible return of investment.
I also think this helped to give better visibility to our teams. Having the option of drilling down helps the team to be more informed and under the detail.

Usability

I think ThoughtSpot's interface is very user-friendly, and makes complex analysis quite easy with it's capabilities (i.e. Drill down and SpotIQ).

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Power BI and Qlik Analytics Platform

I think it took me less time to learn how to use ThoughtSpot, and that I could use it for doing a lot more things.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's really good for seeing live information, doing quick analysis or graphs without the need of Excel, as this will be dynamic and you won't need to update them every time. It's less useful if you want to download a big set of information for then modelling it into Excel (i.e. large financial models).
