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.
reviewer2005506 - PeerSpot reviewer
Great reporting and customizations with good reliability
A lot of the improvement is not so much the product as it is how it's deployed; it's about mapping against what you need to improve your processes, whether it's the Kofax kind of shows in the IDP. You've got process orchestration, extraction and robotic process automation, process orchestration, and then mobile. Tracking what you need out of those, either all five together or one of those separated out, is usually what's more critical. They do add capabilities to the tool. However, from our perspective as a consulting organization, the real key is whether you are getting the data you need to improve your process or if your reporting is not providing you with the desired information you need to improve your processes. If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main core of ThoughtSpot is to create models, connect data pipelines, and create business models and dashboards on top of them."
"The tool is user-friendly for the end users."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"The tool is user-friendly for the end users."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"The scalability is good."
"The self-service analytics capabilities are unrivaled, making it a top-notch solution."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It provides the ability to design applications directly."
"You can easily customize reporting to pull the fields that interest you."
 

Cons

"The visualization customization needs improvement."
"ThoughtSpot lacks an intermediate layer for data loading, unlike Qlik, which affects dashboard stability when the database has issues."
"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."
"I encountered limitations mainly around UI and dashboard configuration."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"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."
"It would be ideal if there were some standard forms that could be customized."
"The initial setup is complex and would be difficult to carry out without any training."
"If there's any negative, it's just the different names, the branding names that the product's gone through. It's confusing."
