"The solution is fast."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"On the positive side, QlikView's scripting is a great asset as it functions as an ETL."
"It excels in supporting database connections and various database types."
"The language support is very good."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The user interface and dashboards are very good."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"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."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"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."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"They could improve the update time."
"Although Qliktech's road map clearly states that QlikView has a long way to go, most of the R&D effort seems to be benefiting Qlik Sense."
"The solution should be mobile-responsive. It should also include drag-and-drop and slice-and-dice features."
"The only thing I would improve about it is the fact that it refreshes all the time, and when it does that, it just deletes all the options you had, all the filters that you had selected, so you need to select them from the beginning."
"There could be a feature to analyze the sales and accounting data of the client."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"It needs work with visualization."
"They could improve the speed."
"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."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"In terms of features, I'd like to be able to pivot data - for example, going from rows to columns. It's not easy to do."
"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."
"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 one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
