Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We had initially purchased it to embed a dashboard for external users, but currently are using it for product discovery work.
  • Thoughtspot allows users to easily access data for ad hoc reporting.
  • Great features including notifications, drilldowns, and search.
  • Easy user access management.
  • We ran into issues when it came to modeling our data because we have billions of rows of data.
  • Sometimes creating the calculations was difficult.
  • It had a negative impact due to the unique situation that we ran into, but I still believe it is a great tool for data visualization.
Sometimes the visualizations would experience weird behavior but creating dashboards and reports was easy.
It's great for easy on-demand reporting if the data models are set up correctly.
I liked thought spot because of the ad-hoc capabilities and their search functionality.

Thoughtspot is well-suited for users who want to access data easily and create reports on their own. It's good for nontechnical users after the data model is set up. Based on my experience, it may be helpful to have help with data modeling during the integration phase.
