I had some experience with ThoughtSpot . It was a very limited use case, as I was just a part of a POC, so I cannot really comment.

Different BI tools have their strengths and weaknesses. If you take Tableau, it has very adjustability. You can make any kinds of dashboards in Tableau, and you can do many things. If you take Power BI, it has a good background of Microsoft helping it with its Microsoft services. So, different tools have different plus points. The point which I found to be a strength point for Domo  was collaboration while building dashboards and pipelines, and the volume of data it used to handle. Domo  has its own place in the market, but I would suggest the certification costs and the pricing for clients needs to be reduced a little. Otherwise, it's a good tool.

It's very consumer-friendly, and it adopted the GenAI features very quickly. I would measure Domo and ThoughtSpot  on a similar scale, so there's a limited difference.

When researching new data, you need some machine which helps us scout through the entire data and give us basic insights. It takes very little time for us to gauge the kind of data it is, its nature, quality, and makes quality check and governance easy. Testing becomes easy, and if I have some questions for ad-hoc analysis, that becomes easy on ThoughtSpot, so that is very handy in those areas. It's not actually developed for developers; it is developed more for a middle to senior level, considering the conversational AI features.

I have used that feature, and that was very handy, but in an actual case scenario, you would not use that too much because you don't know the kind of formulas which have been used in the background. There are chances that it might hallucinate or build some different formulas than what you are expecting as a developer. Although it's a very nice feature to have, I don't think that is something which can survive alone.

There should be a free version of it for people to learn easily so that they get adapted easily and get used to supporting the Domo community, which is something very important.

The certification costs and the pricing for clients needs to be reduced a little.

You need to have someone working on the back end.

I have been working in this field for close to four and a half years.

It is stable.

I'm not sure about its scalability; I have no real-time experience on that.

I did not actually reach out much to the Domo support, but a few seniors of mine who reached out found it satisfactory.

They had a good experience with Domo.

We can rate them 9 or 10 for their support, and we never had any complaints.

ThoughtSpot customer service is slightly slower than what I expected. I had reached out to them for some reason, and there was a slight delay. I got a response from them maybe two weeks later, but they resolved my issue the moment they got back to it.

Positive

This was just a POC, and I never sold or tried selling ThoughtSpot to anyone, although I tried selling Domo.

It's straightforward. I did my architect certification in ThoughtSpot, and it's straightforward to set up and work on it.

I have done my certification, so I know that there is an on-prem version of it. I did the cloud one, the cloud architect one, so it is pretty straightforward, and it's basically plug-and-play.

Different BI tools have their strengths and weaknesses. If you take Tableau, it has very adjustability. You can make any kinds of dashboards in Tableau, and you can do many things. If you take Power BI, it has a good background of Microsoft helping it with its Microsoft services. So, different tools have different plus points.

It's okay to use the company name GoodRx.

I recently moved into data engineering, but prior to this, I was a senior analyst at blend360.com.

I did not do a real-time case on predictive analysis on ThoughtSpot, so I cannot give you a right answer.

Domo features I have not really been exposed to, so I cannot comment on Domo. ThoughtSpot is good for scouting and learning, but that cannot be used as a base for production items. So, I cannot really compare on that scale.

It's not the best for ThoughtSpot.

I rate ThoughtSpot a six out of ten.

Public Cloud

Amazon Web Services  (AWS )

What do you like best about the product?

ThoughtSpot helps to make data analytics accessible to everyone, not just data scientist or analyst. It has the intuitive searched based interface where user can type natural language queries like they use to do in google. ThoughtSpot is very helpful and a game changer for every organization as it lets anyone, regardless of technical background, explore and visualize data on their own. It also helps in collaboration where teams can share insights easily and the another one its built in AI performs a great job in suggesting trends.

What do you dislike about the product?

Not as such specific dislike about this platform.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In recent times, most of the business faces problems related to data analytics. ThoughtSpot helping in solving the complexity of accessing and interpreting data. In earlier times , analytical tools required specialized skills and that means only data engineer and analytics can pull out the useful insights. But ThoughtSpot solved this problem and anyone in the organization can use natural search to interact with data.
