Featured Reviews

Daily transcription has boosted my productivity and made spoken input replace manual typing
The best features Hex offers are simplicity and being really lightweight. Simplicity and being lightweight are valuable for me because it just works, making my day easier. I would also add that Hex is free, which is a nice feature. Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity. My productivity improved because before I started using Hex, I was typing everything and it was taking longer than just saying the same things. I have cut my working day by a few minutes every day because of that.

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

"Hex offers excellent features that make it fast and easy to use."
"Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity."
"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."
"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."
"This tool has really improved our decision-making by 70 to 80% because we are able to rely on insights from different data sources from different departments."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"Stability is very important, and ThoughtSpot performs well."
"The self-service analytics capabilities are unrivaled, making it a top-notch solution."
 

Cons

"Hex can be improved if they could implement new models because there are new LLMs appearing on a weekly basis, and they are still using the same one."
"The support team gets a six out of ten. They are not as proactive."
"The visualization customization needs improvement."
"Some areas for improvement include the pixel-perfect dashboards, which are not as refined as those in Tableau."
"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."
"ThoughtSpot lacks an intermediate layer for data loading, unlike Qlik, which affects dashboard stability when the database has issues."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"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."
"The customer service and support are not good. I stopped opening tickets due to insufficient and untimely responses."
