ThoughtSpot is great for non-technical folks to integrate, visualize, and analyze data
we use ThoughtSpot as our main dashboard and analytical tool. The main business problem was that most of our analyst team is non-technical but have great expertise in domain knowledge. There was also constrained of the data engineering team and – boarding team not understanding the domain and providing dashboard and analysis Which were time consuming, resource, heavy and not very useful to the analyst team. Hence, we built a use case across operational efficiency, resource management, as well as the use of technology technology to get insights, especially the AI, analytical part of ThoughtSpot. This allows non-technical analyst as well as the account managers to directly create stories and insights which are useful to the client in a quick and easy way.
Pros
Dashboarding for non-tech people
Easy Search of data
Ease of getting insights
AI driven Analytics
Easy to build charts
Cons
UI
Integration with Microsoft products

ThoughtSpot is really useful. If you have domain experts who lack technical abilities and you need them to get to insights and stories real quick. It is not useful when you have large data engineering teams who have the practical knowledge of the domain or the data. Scientist do have the domain knowledge as the product is expensive

Real-time insights and very user-friendly to individuals who do not have excellent knowledge or experience around software management. Accessibility to users to design their reporting and dashboards is beneficial. Tracking data and performance is a plus for me and my colleagues using the software on related programs and projects being created.
Pros
Data configuration
Accessibility and security for data
Tracking and progress reports
Cons
Data does not always match
Better updating
lacking functionalities and limitations

Team support is great, and very useful if needed. The cloud production is awesome, my favorite part as mentioned previously is the accountability integrations with the dashboard and having useful recommendations around visualizations.
We are using ThoughtSpot to democratize the data across the company. It was initially launched for a single department but within weeks it was being used across the entire enterprise. It mainly solves the business problem of having static reports. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for a report developer to think about all the permutations and combinations which users might be interested in. ThoughtSpot solves this problem brilliantly.
Pros
ThoughtSpot is great at answering questions no one asked before.
SpotIQ helps identifying the data quality issues.
Giving users ability to create their own reports is a huge plus.
Lightening fast performance on terabytes of data.
Cons
ThoughtSpot can do a better job of providing prescriptive analytics.
Live connection for other databases is a much needed feature.
Pinboard canvas should allow for custom size rather than sticking to 5 pre-defined sizes.
More features needed in pinboard level filters.

ThoughtSpot is very well suited to make data available across the company. It does lack at connecting R and other tools to the database for further enrichment of the data. Mobile app is not available.
We recently started using ThoughtSpot as a reseller/partner in Germany. My first experience, when I started about 2 months ago, was kind of poor. As I'm working with ETL Tools the majority of the time, I was still missing the possibility for data preparation. But on further review, I could gain more knowledge and experience through the back-end of ThoughtSpot. I hope to learn more about specific use cases where a significant added value can be generated.
Pros
Attractive layout
High performance in speed
Easy to use
Cons
ETL
Database connectors set up via user interface
Standard format definings

If you have a pre-built data warehouse with well structured data, ThoughtSpot can be easily and quickly built up. For huge data sets that are not well transformed, it is pretty hard to load it into ThoughtSpot. Additionally, ThoughtSpot is more appropriate for non-technical users as Front-End Usability is easy. It allows for fast decision making for real language questions without having knowledge about the raw data.
