Purity Wairimu - PeerSpot reviewer
Financial Analyst at Nestlé
Self-service analytics has empowered teams and now drives faster data-driven decisions
I have an experience of four years using ThoughtSpot. ThoughtSpot is very easy to use. Even non-technical users find it very easy to use and user-friendly. Some of the best features ThoughtSpot offers are innovation, ease of use, and data analytics. Reporting development is also pretty easy, making complex formulas slightly easier. Additionally, dashboarding for non-technical people, easy search of data, ease of getting insights, AI-driven analytics, and the ability to easily build charts are highlights. ThoughtSpot also offers data connection with live data sources. ThoughtSpot's scalability is impressive; it can handle large data easily, and performance has been powerful and reliable. The AI-driven analytics capabilities in ThoughtSpot help to predict future outcomes and are very helpful in tracking data, and performance is great.

Real-time executive visibility has replaced spreadsheets and drives daily sales decisions
Toucan Toco offers excellent features, including the quick ability to create Stories and KPIs based on the data that we're storing in our data warehouse. We leverage the functionality within Toucan Toco to quickly build out a code-free environment, providing a code-free way of sharing both graphs and KPIs to track and deliver visibility to key data elements. Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time. This shift to real-time sharing has brought clarity to consistent metrics and real-time visibility to activity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The point which I found to be a strength point for Domo was collaboration while building dashboards and pipelines, and the volume of data it used to handle."
"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 best feature is usability from the customer and client perspective, and while Power BI requires a dedicated developer to create reports, ThoughtSpot is really easy to work with, connects seamlessly with other databases, and refreshes large datasets in just 10-15 seconds compared to Power BI's half-hour delay."
"We basically achieved 80% monthly active users and 65% weekly active users in ThoughtSpot in a consistent way, so those numbers speak for themselves in terms of how the data now is embedded within the day-to-day and also more strategic operations."
"ThoughtSpot takes the modifying of existing reports out of our hands."
"The tool is user-friendly for the end users."
"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."
"Productivity has increased significantly and is very measurable, for example, some of our clients used other tools previously that required everything to be built manually, but with ThoughtSpot, we could replace all of the dashboards in less than a month, which would have taken up to a year before."
"Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time."
 

Cons

"Although it's a very nice feature to have, I don't think that is something which can survive alone."
"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 visualization customization needs improvement."
"Some areas for improvement include the pixel-perfect dashboards, which are not as refined as those in Tableau."
"ThoughtSpot lacks an intermediate layer for data loading, unlike Qlik, which affects dashboard stability when the database has issues."
"The support team gets a six out of ten. They are not as proactive."
"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."
"I chose nine because Stories can cascade on top of each other and be a bit complicated when they create multiple data sets underneath the Stories to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the pricing a six out of ten."
