Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

ThoughtSpot is used at the division level so all research scientists and business analysts can query into experiment data and process data, get visuals without coding, and access the source data with just a few clicks.

Pros

  • Ask questions in a natural and meaningful way with a business mindset not restricted by IT skills
  • Develop further insights based on search results and recommendations, and vote on quality and relevancy
  • Totally shield complexity of tech from end user, so users have consumer-grade UX
  • We are surprised to see how this benefited data management and governance
  • The productivity gain is enormous
  • Customizable UI with minimum coding

Cons

  • Link to main stream ML platform such as Databricks and AWS Sagemaker
  • +: Productivity gain for research scientists and business analysts
  • +: UX to engage end-user way better, so users are encouraged to use search and other functions
  • +: Info sharing enabled for better use of data and insight dev, and collaboration
Usually within 48 hours for a new user to sign in and work out data discovery and visual dev work.
Almost 100% of time the search results returned are spot-on, and the response time is seconds.
Only missing feature (all most perfect 10 rating) is the link to ML platform so user can jump naturally into ML world.
More than just DWH, we found that using ThoughtSpot for data lake especially Databricks delta lake provide the seamless experience as data in WDH. In a word, ThoughtSpot is good for either DWH or Lake House.
We chose ThoughtSpot over ES because of its UI/UX and Ai augmented BI offering. Kendra is in its infancy and we could afford the wait.
