Scalability Issues

Dundas Dashboard reliably scales for numerous users and markets, maintaining performance, especially with SSAS, despite multi-server implementation challenges.

6.0
Dundas Dashboard generally stable but can slow under heavy loads; occasional crashes and obscure errors hinder reliability.
Sentiment score
6.7
ThoughtSpot is reliable with large datasets but faces indexing delays; upgrades are smooth and outperforms other tools.
I use it primarily for large datasets, and it performs faster than regular data visualization tools such as Power BI, which has limits on dataset size.

The upgrades are smooth with no downtime, which is super important.

Room For Improvement

Dundas Dashboard needs better parameters, alternative to Silverlight, expanded visualizations, enhanced UI, easier installation, and improved documentation.
ThoughtSpot users report limited customization, integration issues, UI complexity, high pricing, and desire more feature flexibility.
Currently, it is not as customizable as the options available on Power BI or Tableau.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
Handling governance when there are many models and dashboards is complex.
Software Engineer (Data specialist) at Salesforce
Enhancing integration capabilities with other tools like DBT would also be beneficial as it would make our lives easier.

Setup Cost

ThoughtSpot offers flexible, competitive pricing that's generally reasonable but considered expensive compared to other BI tools like Power BI.
Pricing is based on the number of rows extracted for our data, which I find quite fair, with no additional costs for queries or prompts produced by users.
Data Scientist at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
HubSpot is expensive.
Software Engineer (Data specialist) at Salesforce
ThoughtSpot's pricing is reasonable and in line with other BI tools.

Its compatibility with most databases, including the latest from FlexMovely and Redshift, allows users to create joins and worksheets easily.
Sr Data Analytics Consultant at Capgemini
This alerting feature is very beneficial for our company at the moment, and we use it extensively.
When I upload a data dump, AI analytics suggest possible data visualizations and insights, which I can pin to dashboards or live boards for modification.

Featured Reviews

Data Analytics Manager at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
It's useful for reporting on IoT KPIs, but it isn't as robust or user-friendly as some competing solutions
I was a little disappointed in Dundas. I found other tools like Tableau and Power BI to be more powerful. I intended to use Dundus as an organizational BI tool, but I think there's a significant learning curve with Dundas versus the others. The user experience and UI could also improve. It should be simpler for end users who don't have much technical knowledge. I have an IT background, but I think it might be challenging for anyone who is unfamiliar with databases.
Purity Wairimu - PeerSpot reviewer
Financial Analyst at Nestlé
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.
