Solid tool with a wide array of data points
What do you like best about the product?
Huge variation in data inputs. Comprehensive. Decent amount of visualizations. Plugged-in well with most Microsoft Office tools that were used. Highly customizable and very reliable compared to most other data anlaytics tools I've used, even others within the same role I performed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Slow load time after changing data streams and filters being used. I Could have done with more suggestions and guidance or some form of best practices & automated analysis.
It's a big ask, but some basic AI or correlation metrics and signals would have been a massive business value-add and delivered untold hours spent working with the tool on an ad hoc basis.
At Walmart, there was an entire program of specialists who would start most days checking Thoughtspot data and parse through tables and information. The business value and customer retention would accelerate if Thoughtspot was able to deliver a small handful of actionable insights, outliers and anomalies that the program picks out programmatically.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I no longer use the tool but it gave significantly better clarity and visibility into what was driving sales performance and customer preferences. It's pretty clear what the main value of Thoughtspot is: ingest and organize data, then give maximum flexibility to adjust the data to whatever situation or granularity needed.
In short, solid and descriptive statistics around what drove business.

Answers for end-user.
Because it uses Linux, it is easy to manage in the back-end.

Great for business users, tedious for complex BI reporting
What do you like best about the product?
The things best about ThoughSpot are:
1. The user interface is extremely well thought out. It is extremely easy to use. In fact, it just took me half an hour to learn and start building pinboards on ThoughtSpot. Even our business users who do not have technical background could pick it up easily. This gave them self service ability as well
2. The costing model is extremely good as well. Seeing that now there are a huge number of users for any report in a large company, pricing based on storage space instead of number of licenses is a very good model
3. The company listens: we kept putting in various requests of what should be added to TS, one being materialized views and in the next release it was added as a feature. The feedback mechanism is very good

What do you dislike about the product?
The functionality is limited as compared to industry standard BI tools like Tableau. Especially in two areas:
1. Customizing layouts, colors, graph types is not that simple and often times not possible. There are only five sizes present, limited colors and graph types. This often times means that we are not able to deliver what the client wants.
2. SQL functions like window functions which can be readily coded in other platforms are not present in ThoughtSpot. This puts unnecessary pressure on the data model to be specifically tailored for TS and therefore less reusable.
3. There is a lack of community support at the moment if we face any new problems or constraints since it is a new tool
4. Currently live connection to data is not possible, only Excel extracts can be uploaded to build reports

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our project we were building performance reports for claims handling process of a large Australia based insurer. The key problems why we used TS was:
1. The pricing model: The old reports were scattered across multiple platforms including Tableau. A large user base meant that license costs were way more than set up cost of TS
2. We also wanted to give business users the ability to play around with the data, and TS gave us that ability

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There should be quite a number of considerations before you decide to use ThoughtSpot:
1. Number of users: Pricing is better in TS if he user base is large
2. Functionality required: Do not use ThoughtSpot for extremely complex dashboards. It is for moderate level business reporting at the moment
3. Type if users: If there are more business users, or people with limited tech background, go for it

Great Keynotes!
What do you like best about the product?
The keynote sessions. I enjoyed learning how other companies / organizations are using Thoughtspot and learning about the new ThoughtSpot features. I was really inspired by the work of Not Impossible.
What do you dislike about the product?
The speakers in the breakout sessions I attended spoke very generally about their use of ThoughtSpot. I think I would have gotten more value out of the sessions if they talked specifically about how they use and implemented ThoughtSpot and aligned their talking points with the titles of the sessions.
