I'm not very actively using it. That said, sometimes it's the requirements, so that's why I have to use it.
I'm basically the Power BI developer, however, our company recently purchased ThoughtSpot. I had to make a shift from Power BI to ThoughtSpot. I use it mostly for reporting purposes for higher management. That's why we're using it.
ThoughtSpot is mostly good for showcasing matrices.
It is easy to set up the solution.
The solution is stable.
It's scalable.
There is more flexibility in Power BI than in ThoughtSpot.
In the matrices, for example, the size is very limited and the ratios are fixed. It would be better if they could be adjustable. The formatting for rows and columns separating could be more flexible.
If I want to order columns, this feature is not there.
I have just recently started using the ThoughtSpot. It's been over a month.
It is stable. The solution is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash and freeze. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten.
I do find the solution to be scalable.
There are more than 200 people using the solution.
I've never reached out to technical support. Whenever I have had an issue, I'd reach out to the ThoughtSpot team I deal with.
I've also used (and prefer) Power BI. In terms of creating visualizations and formatting backgrounds, it is better. It's also more flexible.
Our senior management has exposure to ThoughtSpot. They were comfortable with it, so they decided to go with ThoughtSpot.
It's very easy to implement the solution. It's mostly drag and drop. There is not much required to learn in the case of using it and doing the setup, which makes the process fast and simple.
I'm not sure exactly how long the deployment takes.
There was a ThoughtSpot team, and they did the installation.
I can't speak to the exact cost of the solution.
If your work is senior management type and you need only matrices, then I would advise you to use ThoughtSpot. That said, if your work is a very creative thing, and you want to do analysis and show it in proper formatting or in a very themed presentation, then I would say Power BI is better.
I am an end-user.
I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. It can handle a lot of data.
