Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, SAP, RapidMiner and others in Predictive Analytics."The three data signs and data engineering are great features."
"The product's Macros probably are one of the most useful aspects."
"This is a drag-and-drop tool which is easy-to-use and yet can be customized by creating your own components."
"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its unlimited handling capabilities."
"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."
"The solution has been stable."
"The scheduling feature for the automation is excellent."
"It helps clean messy data and provides spatial analysis."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"The scalability is good."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"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."
"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."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."
"The solution can be quite complex in some aspects."
"The scalability worries me a lot at the moment because the cost of the solution is high and it is not growing considerably. Unfortunately, we started during early COVID times and because of the economic downturn, all the cost cuttings, and everything, it is not growing as expected."
"A feature which allows the user to be able to click on an output (in a file browser) and see the creation of the module would be fantastic."
"There could be a bit of improvement related to performance. Sometimes it demands a lot of resources for running it, like memory and search."
"Sometimes, there are performance constraints. Especially when a large file has to be ingested, the system slows down a bit. Its performance is the only thing that can be improved."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"It is a little bit pricey."
"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."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"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."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"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."
"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."
