TS Review
What do you like best about the product?
Natural language search bar, semantic layer, ease of dev.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of customizability with legend values, colors, and ordering. Occasional bugginess. Inability to update int data type to varchar in TML. Needs a better integration with dbt and dbt semantic layer. Needs a better integration with github to version control dash tml
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Embedding BI layer for internal and external partner.
ThoughtSpot is an intuitive tool that allows user to easily access analytics
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to get started in ThoughtSpot. Everything is intuitive and easy to use. Easy to share across users.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface can look a bit better. To me it isn't the most eye-captivating application
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Publishing analytics datasets widely to users so they can access and create their own reports/ liveboards for their own analytics needs
My team built a complex reporting solution using ThoughtSpot
What do you like best about the product?
ThoughtSpot is great in that it makes it easy to create new reports and for users to slice and dice the data in different ways. The team behind it is very smart and capable and it is always improving as a product.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard for developers to give up the ability to write their own SQL. This is the tradeoff when using a BI tool. But the benefit of this is the flexibility it gives the end-user to change the parameters of a search in realtime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ThoughtSpot helps us use our historical data to show our customers the value add that our base product is providing. In addition, it allows our users to get personalized insights into their own computing environments. Many of our customers have requests for custom reports and ThoughtSpot makes it possible to create these without developers getting involved.
Solid comprehensive data analytics solution
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can analyze a single customers or any number of customers' data all from one location. I also like that I can export said data, format it myself and then send to colleagues or share with the customer themselves which is very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say the minor formatting details that require exact information be entered to get the desired output of data is a little annoying at times. This could possible be how my company has it setup for our usage and not a requirement from the solution itself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm currently in software sales so the information I obtain from Thoughtspot helps me make educated decisions on what solutions the customer already has and what other solutions they may benefit from

What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and quick creation of dashboards
What do you dislike about the product?
There seem to be moments where ThoughtSpot is running slowly and my data take time to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is helping us create dashboards quicker than what was possible with Tableau. This has given my team a lot more time back in the day!
Eases access to data with a modest learning curve
What do you like best about the product?
I like how intuitive simple queries can be to create. Sometimes, it is as straightforward as just typing in the question you want to answer with your data - especially since the AI-Answer functionality has been available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Building your own query with words, for more complicated questions can sometimes over-simplify or pull in the wrong parameters. Results can be accurate for the query that was created, but some institutional knowledge of the datasets is still required to ensure that the correct fields are being used for the specific business question being asked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When an ad-hoc request comes in for simple descriptive stats, ThoughtSpot has been a great tool. Most queries are fairly straightforward to create. The visualization tool is accessible and provides a great way to quickly generate digestible representations of the data.
Impressive capabilities, well thought out implementation...
What do you like best about the product?
In my daily use of ThoughtSpot I've found it to be feature rich and capable. I'm still learning the more advanced features, and what I've learned so far has been easy to understand, with good documentation and tutorials. I look forward to digging into the more advanced uses for my day to day tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
While in general I find there are few downsides, there are some concepts and implementations that do take some time and effort to understand. Having said that, the documentation and examples/tutorials are helpful. The web-based interface can be klunky from time to time, but I believe that is more of the browser and connectivity side of the playing field than ThoughtSpot itself.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ThoughtSpot is my go-to platform for immediate access to company performance data. While there is a learning curve, it has been easy to get up and running for my day to day data analytics needs for myself and my internal clients, allowing me to turn around reports and requests quickly and efficiently.
Using ThoughtSpot
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use existing ThoughtSpot reports as well as creating your own reports.
Natural Language

What do you dislike about the product?
Finding the data/fields for new reports can be challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding both legacy and current data.
Easy to search, takes some time to get used to
What do you like best about the product?
I love the search tab. I've never been able to ask for exactly what I want. Even if it takes some poking around until I find what I'm looking for, at least I have the option to do that. I think the UI is great too.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was easier to change the dates you are looking at. Ideally, being able to zoom in on a line chart or zoom out to get more or less granular would be awesome. I struggle with looking at different timespans. And also sometimes to find what I'm looking for I really have to hunt around different buttons and settings, when I think it could've been more easily found with the search bar if there were more options. Lastly, searching across multiple datasets in search data would be beneficial
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Understanding customer consumption and detailed usage reports to help identify churn risk and expansion opportunities
I can't emphasize enough how much ThoughtSpot has transformed our daily operations at Lululemon.
What do you like best about the product?
The interface of ThoughtSpot is incredibly user-friendly, especially for people like me who struggle with challenging data. It enables us to create reports, dashboards, and handle data without requesting POwer BI assistance.
The search feature on ThoughtSpot is incredibly quick compared to other search engines. It's like having a data finding quick capability. We no longer waste a ton of time searching for data manually thanks to this.
ThoughtSpot meet our requirements as a new technology. Our analytics tool is created to our specifications, complete with personalized data and integration with the rest of our tech used in the company.
We enjoy exchanging data-related ideas, and ThoughtSpot makes it simple to do so.

What do you dislike about the product?
Here are some things I've observed as a Retail Experience Function Consultant that aren't so great:
ThoughtSpot is designed to be user-friendly, however non-data professionals might need some training to utilize it effectively. I had a hard time in training and getting trained by ourselves.
ThoughtSpot is not inexpensive. With those license fees and additional expenses, small firms can feel the pinch when credits goes low. But keep in mind that it can be worthwhile for the data intelligence.
ThoughtSpot can communicate with the majority of systems, but there are occasions when it's like trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole. It can get difficult and technical.
Large Data Issues: ThoughtSpot may struggle a little when you have a ton of data or challenging queries. To make it work, it needs to be fine-tuned.
