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.
- Reporting development is pretty simple
- RLS
- Visualizations are pretty clean for the most part.
- 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.
New users are able to spin up relatively quickly. One of the things that ThoughtSpot does really well is it has a very verbose and built out documentation site. This provides new users plenty of resources to use when spinning up on ThoughtSpot to get the data that they need.
Very accurate and timely. We currently use ThoughtSpot to power a custom reporting suite in one of our vertical products. There is growth to be done there, but overall the ad hoc piece works well. Although we would like to be able to restrict the ad hoc access at times.
