Sushma Polavarapu - PeerSpot reviewer
Creates user-friendly analysis environments for large datasets
The tool is user-friendly for the end users. It is primarily a search-based tool. Users do not need a technical background to work directly on the dataset. Its compatibility with most databases, including the latest from FlexMovely and Redshift, allows users to create joins and worksheets easily. ThoughtSpot is fast, even with one to ten terabytes of data.
AnkurMathur - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool is user-friendly for the end users."
"The main core of ThoughtSpot is to create models, connect data pipelines, and create business models and dashboards on top of them."
"The scalability is good."
"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."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"ThoughtSpot saves a significant amount of time compared to other tools and is very user-friendly."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"We can set any property dynamically."
"The end-user reporting is very handy and the standard reports that can be achieved by using Jaspersoft Studio are quite impressive."
"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten...The deployment process of TIBCO Jaspersoft is easy."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"It's easy to use and maintain."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
 

Cons

"The support team gets a six out of ten. They are not as proactive."
"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."
"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 prediction model needs improvement. While NLQ is working perfectly fine and the data understanding capabilities of ThoughtSpot are good, there is room for improvement."
"Some areas for improvement include the pixel-perfect dashboards, which are not as refined as those in Tableau."
"The visualization customization needs improvement."
"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."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
"Jaspersoft should focus on user interaction features, and one should not expect it to suit every niche."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
