"Its ability to build, very quickly, very complicated models."
"The scalability is there."
"If you correctly use the product for your use cases, it provides value for money."
"It enables us to configure various elements, such as dashboard settings, including factors like color schemes and other customization parameters."
"Easy to analyze data by click-through."
"The product’s most valuable feature is its ability to view the entire data available for analysis."
"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."
"The ability to do ad hoc explorations of data has been most valuable."
"The scalability is good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"It's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"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 tool is expensive in Turkey."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"They should offer the capability to directly access data from SaaS environments, as it would simplify the migration process, and while it may seem like a minor enhancement, it would be beneficial to our clients."
"Improvement in collaboration, between that and publishing of reports and publishing of models."
"There is a lack of static PDF report generation and automatic resizing of the dashboard to fit the device."
"Though the initial setup phase is simple, when it comes to the integration with the custom systems, the configuration and the compatibility sometimes take some more time."
"They could improve the speed."
"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."
"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."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"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 most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"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."
"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."
