Overall Satisfaction with ThoughtSpot

We have a client who has a lot of entities, assets, and loans, so there is a lot of data to be managed. ThoughtSpot gives all the analysis for it in bar graphs and charts. It helps our team to quickly analyze large datasets without needing complex SQL queries. It is easy to get insights of it. We use ThoughtSpot across different departments dashboards,ad-hoc analysis and providing a monthly view of all the transactions to the client.

Pros

  • dashboards update in real time and make it easy to drill down in detail by just clicking on data points.
  • SpotiQ feature automatically finds trends,anomalies and key drivers in the data that may be missed.

Cons

  • While search is great for simple questions but handling complex calcultions and joins can be hard and requires backend work.
  • Dashboards and searches can be very slow when working with large databases.
  • Visualization and dashboard customisation are limited as comared with different BI tools.
  • Faster decisoin making - Business teams doesnt need to wait for the reports from data team ,they can get answers instantly.
  • Higher productivity - Analysts spend less time on creating manual reports and more time on insights.it reduces 2 weeks of manual work.
  • Better business outcomes - with quick and easy access to KPIs and trends teams acan act faster on sales , revenue and operations data.
It is very easy to search data and build dashboards without any technical skills,which make it easy and user freindly for BA team.However , i didnt rate it higher because some advance features and complex queries still require extra learning and support.which can be challenging for new application users.
