Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for simple data queries or analysis. Not suited for complex analysis or dashboards. ThoughtSpot works well with Snowflake and it's great to be able to do analytics directly on the cloud data warehouse. However, for complex data sets and analytics, ThoughtSpot is not there yet from a performance and look & feel perspective.
