"There are many built-in connectors, which allow us to easily add new sources of data, often in minutes."
"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."
"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's easy to drill down or expand data to get more details right out of the box."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The scalability is good."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The administrative side of Sisense is a little cumbersome and confusing."
"The solution's setup process could be easier."
"Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T"
"I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data."
"I would also like to be able to run a bursts of reports based on different field values with PDF output right in the tool, rather than filtering on each field value and generating each PDF manually."
"They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard."
"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums."
"The initial version we purchased only ran on Windows servers, which was less than ideal for our DevOps team. I believe that has been remedied in the latest release."
"The one area of the solution that I do hear needs improvement is on the visualization front."
"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."
"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."
"A customized visualization is lacking in this product."
"If I want to order columns, this feature is not there."
"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."
