Dalvi Raghuram - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Technician at HCLSoftware
Unified metrics have reduced confusion and now empower teams to explore data and decide faster
Omni helped my team solve the multiple sources of truth problem by centralizing metric definitions in a governed semantic layer, so we stop debating KPIs and start aligning on the same numbers. It also bridges the gap between technical and non-technical users. Analysts can use SQL while business users can work with spreadsheet-like formulas, so more people can self-serve without constant data team support. As a result, we can answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. Omni has positively impacted our organization because it helps us answer questions faster, iterate on analysis in one place, and scale reporting more reliably across teams. This tool has also been very beneficial because it simplifies tracking key metrics, improves visibility across different data sources, and makes it easier to identify trends and patterns without depending heavily on technical teams. It also saves time, supports better decision-making, and enables more efficient reporting through centralized dashboards and visual analytics. I can give you a specific example of how much time my team has saved since using Omni: it has greatly improved our decision-making from 40 to 68 percent. We have also been able to save time ranging from 60 to 70 percent.
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Omni is a powerful analytics tool that helps us make faster and better decisions."
"The best feature is usability from the customer and client perspective, and while Power BI requires a dedicated developer to create reports, ThoughtSpot is really easy to work with, connects seamlessly with other databases, and refreshes large datasets in just 10-15 seconds compared to Power BI's half-hour delay."
"The self-service analytics capabilities are unrivaled, making it a top-notch solution."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The tool is user-friendly for the end users."
"The scalability is good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"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."
"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

"Some advanced features feel a bit hidden and the modeling IDE experience could use stronger IntelliSense plus better organization with deeper field nesting to make large webhooks easier to navigate."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"The customizability of the visualization live boards should be improved."
"A crucial feature we needed is missing, which involves restricting views of certain KPIs when users select conflicting parameters. We had to create a workaround, which impacted performance by loading pinboards slowly."
"The customer service and support are not good. I stopped opening tickets due to insufficient and untimely responses."
"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."
"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."
"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."
