Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We use ThoughtSpot as a central piece of our analytics platform. It houses a large majority of our internal and external reporting. It covers a pretty large scope and solves numerous business problems for us, including ad hoc reporting, embedded reporting, internal reporting, external reporting etc. We also leverage RLS to limit external reporting.

Pros

  • Reporting development is pretty simple
  • RLS
  • Visualizations are pretty clean for the most part.

Cons

  • Objects are not able to be referenced across
  • Lacks the ability to put reports in directories. There's no sense of organization
  • Reporting can be very buggy sometimes
  • Can't limit peoples ability to create as many reports as they want.
  • ThoughtSpot has simplified reporting and allowed us to roll out reporting across the company.
I gave it a 7 because I think that overall, it's a good product, but there are things that can be done to improve and really bring it to another level. Simple things like directories to store reports in, more report types, getting rid of the constant red banners all over the site etc.

Do you think ThoughtSpot delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with ThoughtSpot's feature set?

Yes

Did ThoughtSpot live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ThoughtSpot go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy ThoughtSpot again?

Yes

I think that if a company is looking to roll out a suite of reporting more centrally focused on ad hoc reporting and not necessarily looking to lock down their environment and report creation to strictly and internal analytics or BI team, ThoughtSpot fits that use case. Anything that needs more structure/limitation is not right for ThoughtSpot.
