Pros
"The GUI interface is nice and easy to use."

More AtScale Adaptive Analytics (A3) Pros →

"It is easy to set up the solution.""The initial setup was very straightforward.""I would say the return on investment is good. Whatever we invested, we got results. We have been finding it easy to use and onboard new use cases.""It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box.""The scalability is good.""ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands.""The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable.""I like ThoughtSpot's search capabilities. You can also create custom analytics even if you aren't an experienced data analyst. We have users with no data analytics experience making some of the dashboards we've created, copying components, and customizing them to their specific use cases."

Cons
"The organization of the icons is not saved across users.""The product was not able to meet our 10 second refresh requirements.""There was an issue with the incremental aggregation not working as indicated."

More AtScale Adaptive Analytics (A3) Cons →

"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases.""The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front.""ThoughtSpot is a fairly new product, so some usability aspects aren't as mature as we'd like them to be. One example is their organizational methodology, like how objects are organized in their dashboards inside the product. They're all on a flat list, which works if you've got five or 10 dashboards. However, it's insufficient when you're a large enterprise with multiple groups looking at the same dashboards. It isn't organized well.""A customized visualization is lacking in this product.""If I want to order columns, this feature is not there.""I would like to see more flexibility in adding the pins. Currently, we have four different sizes in which I can add pins, but I would like to be able to resize my pins.""The dashboards could give you more ability to fine tune the appearance. You get a great deal more control over how something looks in Power BI than you do in ThoughtSpot.""In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."

    Top Answer:It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box.
    Top Answer:I like the pricing structure. I get billed by how much data I put in, not how many people are looking at the data. It's better for me as I can control pricing a bit more easily.
    Top Answer:We'd like more flexibility with the calendar as our fiscal year does not align with the calendar year. We have to load or create our own custom calendar to actually need our fiscal year-end. With… more »

    No more extracts or shadow IT: AtScale eliminates the need for extracts with a single, consistent, governed view of live data, regardless of which BI and AI tools are used.

    Data-as-a-service: AtScale allows metadata to be created once, with centrally defined business rules and calculations, exposing data assets as a service.

    Data platform portability: Models built in AtScale are portable, with no need to recreate them for different platforms. AtScale can easily be repointed to new data platforms, making migration seamless to business users.

    Faster time-to-insight: AtScale reduces time-to-insight from weeks and months to minutes and hours. AtScale virtual models can be created and deployed in no time, with no ETL or data engineering.

    Future-proof your data architecture: AtScale alleviates the complexities of data platform and analytics tool integration, making cloud, hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud data architectures a reality without compromising performance, security, agility or existing governance and security policies.

    Features:
