Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"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 scalability is good."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"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."
"The most difficult thing I found is that it only deals with the files and does not have direct connectivity to databases."
"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."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"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."
"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."
