Changing the BI landscape
What do you like best about the product?
ThoughtSpot fits the sweet spot of total cost of ownership and ease of adoption. Once information is configured and curated, there is no required IT touch. Adoption is user-driven rather than IT pushed. The costing model is based on amount of data stored in ThoughtSpot. Even with AWS storage costs and as user adoption grows, there is no better cost per user BI application on the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
Understanding the value proposition that ThoughtSpot offers, it is not focused on high-density, crisp visualization as other applications provide. There is a 5-10% use case that cannot be solved by ThoughtSpot. I am interested to see if this 5-10% use case fades away over the next few years.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company needs to learn how to have a conversation with information, rather than to simply digest content delivered via static slide decks. ThoughtSpot is critical in changing the way we consume insight. As insight delivery moves from pull to push and the iteration questions can be answered more quickly, we will reach a spot where we are leading information rather than simply trying to keep up with it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with one instance and let business team members evangelize and lead adoption. Keep IT out of the way.
Just implementing Thoughtspot. But so far so good!
What do you like best about the product?
Performance and ease of use. The tool to very easy to use once you understand how it works. The end user can naturally search and find the answers they are looking for.
What do you dislike about the product?
Importing the data. Automatically importing the data from other data sources into ThoughtSpot has to be done via scripts. For easy imports, I was hoping for a UI / wizard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are implementing ThoughtSpot for the ease of use for AdHoc reporting.
A truly unique reporting solution
What do you like best about the product?
An excellent tool that is simple, doesn't require extensive user training, provides data at your fingertips without the complexity and time involved in creating reports
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing to dislike so far, maybe a few more visualization options would be welcome
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we will be able to cut down implementation time that is required to build reports in traditional BI tools
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend getting this tool - it saves time and your end users will thank you
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.
