Great BI Appliance
What do you like best about the product?
The ability for end users to upload data (with appropriate rights) to do instantaneous visualization.
What do you dislike about the product?
The automation method for creating daily data loads is overly complicated and the ODBC has really never delivered as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved ad hoc reporting for our external customers relative to very specific data views. The single greatest benefit we have realized is cost savings by putting report creation in the hands of our service associates versus needing a technical team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If considering an end user ad hoc reporting tool there are few on the market that will server an organization better than ThoughtSpot
Great Product, Excellent Support Staff.
What do you like best about the product?
The group assigned to our implementation is highly customer service focused, very responsive and always helpful. They do a great job of detailing steps so all involved understand the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there is nothing to dislike, critique or point out. We don't anticipate any issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are going to eliminate or virtually eliminate the need to continue to produce reports for our customers. The natural language approach will give them the ability to develop their own reports as needed. It will also reduce processing and hardware requirements within the reporting area.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
100% recommendation to pursue purchasing ThoughtSpot.
Saves Countless Hours
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy and quick it is to able to extract information from enriched fields within seconds to produce visualizations and answer questions...Manually, this process used to take hours to days.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having to learn the query language took time - there wasn't a real go-to section to write formulas.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quantifying success with new products is easy to trend. We can more easily see the impact. The biggest benefit is the hundreds of hours our team saves every month.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Thoughtspot allows you to use your time to understand what's happening with your business instead of running the processes to get to that point.
I was an implementor of the ThoughtSPot appliance.
What do you like best about the product?
The response from the support team was spot on. They were very receptive and very happy to help
What do you dislike about the product?
Our main issue was the ThoughtSpot appliance does not support Webseal which is an industry standard for secure access
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to solve a search engine issue for our in house clients. The application worked great in the Proof of Concept stage. When moving toward production we had many issues that needed to be addressed. Another main issue is ThoughtSPot wanted unfettered access to the appliance. Our company does not allow that. Also Thoughtspot wants to handle backups and restores of data, again something we do not allow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask many questions about how they support their product. Also sending data to the vendor they want to use a 3rd party called Egnyte. So you will be placing information to a third party. You may not like that idea.
Uncertainty
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, dashboard creation is simple and intuitive, support has always been available.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of row-level security, AWS users seem to be at a major disadvantage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Trying to show business analytics both internally to our BI team and externally to our clients. We are still unsure of it's use as we've only been encountering problems with TS on AWS.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't use AWS :)
ThoughtSpot Review
What do you like best about the product?
I do like the ability to ask questions about the data - can be very user friendly. Tool has a lot of potential, but still immature.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation/Guides content vague/ambiguous. Inconsistency with bugs/errors. Basic UI/UX for visualizations lacking (for example dual axis only has 1 available y range to set, which doesn't make sense for plotting $ & %, furthermore the visualization will render okay for answer, but errors on pinboards). Also ability to pin objects to pinboards is confusing with enabling filters and leveraging worksheets vs aggregated worksheets. Was expecting ability to type conversational questions about data vs bluntly inputing object names.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to provide an easy and intuitive self-service BI platform. We are still exploring the tools capabilities before releasing to wider audiences within organization.
TS; So far So Good
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of Use from the user perspective. My team will likely to use it more often.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently in development of the product and have not run into dislikes yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enabling team members to answer their own questions allowing me to work on the backend.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. you can only gain knowledge and potentially solutions.
Great Tool for the entire business to use
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is so easy to use and being able to create a pinboard in minutes for the rest of the business to use has made my life a lot easier!
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see a few more graphing options and a bit more flexibility when organising data to be viewed in a pivot table
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Supplying business MI to users who don't like to get into the depths of data
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get buy in from all areas of the business and it will become an integral part
ThoughtSpot for adhoc data analytics and visuals into your business
What do you like best about the product?
ThoughSpot has excelled in a BI area called Search BI. Here a business user starts typing what he/she is looking for in a google-like search box with TS offering search completion hints. Once the business user has finalized and executed a search, TS automatically generates both the underlying data plan for retrieving the result data and the visuals to render the information in a way that is deemed most effective. And TS is very fast at doing this.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take a little time to get used to this type of business analytics search capabilities. Initial setup time of course will be there (as expected with any BI product) when implementors have to spend time to learn about business data and what makes most sense of that data to decision-makers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We work as implementation partners with ThoughtSpot, helping them to find new clients, demonstrating the capabilities and driving towards sales and post-sales.
