Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We use ThoughtSpot for internal and external curated analytics.
  • Speed of dev
  • Makes complex formulas slightly easier
  • Visualizations
  • Basic functionality
  • Focus on the basics as opposed to all in on AI
  • Not enough time with the tool to see any ROI really
  • Row count billing model does not allow for complex and ad hoc analysis
It lacks basic functionality that all other BI leaders have. The AI is not perfect and is buggy. The row count billing model is less than ideal.
ThoughtSpot is easy to build charts and it is probably the easiest tool to build things quickly. The quality of the charts is middle if not lower pack compared to others. The dbt integration is wildly oversold and does not add any value.

ThoughtSpot is not awful but it is very far from a trusted enterprise platform. We have experienced a significant amount of bugs and ThoughtSpot lacks basic functionality that other BI tool leaders have out of the box.
