Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We need it to visualize our data across the entire company as well as a reporting/visualization that we whitelabel for our customers. It solves not just getting an understanding of our and our clients' revenue/claims/resolution rates, but also gives us very interesting trends and insights in our data that we would have otherwise overlooked.

Pros

  • Reporting
  • Data Visualization
  • Trends and Insights
  • Liveboards and one-stop-shop dashboarding

Cons

  • Faster implementation (even though it's easy enough as it is)
  • More API's for individual features
  • Faster performance
  • Swapped out previous reporting solution and re-assigned resources
  • Reduced TTL from 3 months to 1 week
  • Reduction in Azure spend
  • Excited clients and customers
It's great and easy to use, and only takes about a week to get up to speed on it. There are some icons/buttons and terminology that is specific to ThoughtSpot that might confuse a user but once you learn what it is, you're full speed. Setting up liveboards might take some time, but once they're set up, you can use those as your standards and just copy/clone from those to make adjustments.
I think PBI was terribly slow and clunky. UI was outdated. Solution was expensive for what we needed. ThoughtSpot was worlds different (in a better way).

ThoughtSpot is best suited to analyzing and visualizing data sets where you want to be able to drill down and dissect the data in different ways, but you may not necessarily be sure how to set it up to do that, since ThoughtSpot takes care of the drill down hierarchy that normally needs to be set up in advance. That way you can slice and dice data to suit your business questions. Scenarios where it's not appropriate is if you have data distributed over multiple databases and you want to bring it all together. That can be a challenge.
