Amir Hassan - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Scientist / Data Analytics Consultant at Fiverr International Ltd
Managing complex data hierarchies has improved analytics but still needs richer hierarchy types
To evaluate Cube's efficiency in handling large data volumes, I use metrics including F1 scores, AUC (Area Under the Curve), and RMC (Root Mean Squares), along with RSE (Root Square Errors). These factors help me gauge the efficiency of the algorithms clearly. Regarding improving Cube, I believe that when we are building hierarchies, I should enhance the type of hierarchies. For instance, in a few countries lacking state systems, there could be a hierarchy without proper categorization—such as continent, country, and city. Therefore, it would be beneficial if I could improve the hierarchies to retrieve data as quickly as possible from Cube.

Self-service analytics has empowered teams and now drives faster data-driven decisions
I have an experience of four years using ThoughtSpot. ThoughtSpot is very easy to use. Even non-technical users find it very easy to use and user-friendly. Some of the best features ThoughtSpot offers are innovation, ease of use, and data analytics. Reporting development is also pretty easy, making complex formulas slightly easier. Additionally, dashboarding for non-technical people, easy search of data, ease of getting insights, AI-driven analytics, and the ability to easily build charts are highlights. ThoughtSpot also offers data connection with live data sources. ThoughtSpot's scalability is impressive; it can handle large data easily, and performance has been powerful and reliable. The AI-driven analytics capabilities in ThoughtSpot help to predict future outcomes and are very helpful in tracking data, and performance is great.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Implementation was super smooth, and within two weeks we were up and running and the metrics were exposed in our app."
"NPS improved to approximately eight out of ten for our feature, and internally ticket handling times decreased, allowing reallocation of resources to higher-impact projects."
"Cube's caching mechanism impacts my database query loads and response times significantly."
"Cube completes my tasks very easily and takes less time, allowing me to deliver any project in a timely manner to our clients."
"The point which I found to be a strength point for Domo was collaboration while building dashboards and pipelines, and the volume of data it used to handle."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The most valuable feature is probably the core functionality itself, which is the ability to search and drill down into any data right out of the box."
"ThoughtSpot is much easier to work with and maintain than other BI solutions, and it significantly reduces costs related to manual labor."
"The main core of ThoughtSpot is to create models, connect data pipelines, and create business models and dashboards on top of them."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
 

Cons

"When it comes to the initial setup of Cube, I faced some challenges, including server issues when uploading data from local sources to the Unipi servers."
"Cube's interface can be challenging for non-technical users, needing clearer use-case examples to ease integration into workflows."
"I did not see any return on investment from Cube."
"There is no way to create a real template that is not exposed directly in the UI."
"Cube can be improved by enhancing data refresh over multiple tabs."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"The support team gets a six out of ten. They are not as proactive."
"Although it's a very nice feature to have, I don't think that is something which can survive alone."
"ThoughtSpot lacks an intermediate layer for data loading, unlike Qlik, which affects dashboard stability when the database has issues."
"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."
"Some areas for improvement include the pixel-perfect dashboards, which are not as refined as those in Tableau."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"The prediction model needs improvement. While NLQ is working perfectly fine and the data understanding capabilities of ThoughtSpot are good, there is room for improvement."
