Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
ThoughtSpot's support is proactive and responsive but has a limited knowledge base and lengthy feature integration processes.
While they eventually provide the correct answers, their support for smaller customers could be improved.
I stopped opening tickets due to insufficient and untimely responses.
ThoughtSpot provides a dedicated customer success person and the ability to submit tickets online, with a response time of no more than a day.
The knowledge base for ThoughtSpot is less robust compared to others.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score

Domo offers scalable, cloud-based solutions for diverse roles, supporting large datasets and user growth with robust performance and adaptability.
Sentiment score
7.1
ThoughtSpot's scalability is praised, enhanced by Snowflake partnership, despite challenges in managing roles for large user bases.
Sigma, which is written for Snowflake, scales more easily than Domo.
Tableau, Power BI, or Looker have separate tools for preparation, customization, and storytelling.
The platform does not have technical problems with scaling data or connections.
I do find ThoughtSpot scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
Domo is a reliable cloud-based tool with minimal downtime, strong server performance, and rare access issues for users.
Sentiment score
7.2
ThoughtSpot is stable with rare issues, offers high performance on large datasets, but needs integration and resource improvements.
This workaround consumed a lot of resources and led to reduced performance, with pinboards loading for approximately two minutes for each filter criterion.
The upgrades are smooth with no downtime, which is super important.
I use it primarily for large datasets, and it performs faster than regular data visualization tools such as Power BI, which has limits on dataset size.
 

Room For Improvement

Domo faces concerns over ease of use, integration, visualization, pricing, ETL tools, user interface, and advanced AI capabilities.
ThoughtSpot needs improvements in visualization, customization, data handling, and usability, lagging behind competitors like Power BI and Tableau.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
Enhancing integration capabilities with other tools like DBT would also be beneficial as it would make our lives easier.
Currently, it is not as customizable as the options available on Power BI or Tableau.
Handling governance when there are many models and dashboards is complex.
 

Setup Cost

Domo's pricing is high but justified by features and integration, suitable for larger enterprises, often requiring negotiation.
ThoughtSpot offers flexible pricing, often cheaper than Tableau but pricier than Power BI, with negotiable licensing models controlling costs.
Domo is expensive compared to other solutions.
ThoughtSpot's pricing is reasonable and in line with other BI tools.
HubSpot is expensive.
 

Valuable Features

Domo offers user-friendly data transformation, visualization, and integration with extensive connectors, handling large data sets efficiently.
ThoughtSpot provides user-friendly, scalable data exploration with diverse database compatibility, enabling efficient, non-technical analytics and business intelligence.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.
Its compatibility with most databases, including the latest from FlexMovely and Redshift, allows users to create joins and worksheets easily.
This alerting feature is very beneficial for our company at the moment, and we use it extensively.
The main core of HubSpot is to create models, connect data pipelines, and create business models and dashboards on top of them.

Featured Reviews

James John Wilson - PeerSpot reviewer
Robust, powerful, and easy to use
There were very few cases on some of the tables, the data tables, where I wish there was an additional feature or two. However, they were particular. What I wanted to see was the ability to collapse when you group a set of rows, let's say when you group them by status or health, so you have your red projects grouped up top. I wanted to compress or collapse that group of red and then open the yellow projects and then the green projects. There were a bit more features in the tables than I wanted to see. They have a widget that you can use either in Microsoft PowerPoint to pull over data into your PowerPoints and refresh graphs or charts or metrics or tables. I would love to see that available in Google Slides. I used it successfully in PowerPoint; however, at one company, they were only using Google products, and so that widget didn't help with reporting in slides. Therefore, we had to do a bit more manual work for our quarterly business reviews or monthly business reviews to produce our executive presentations. Sometimes the fonts were difficult to read if you're trying to put a lot of data in a table and show a lot of rows. Sometimes the fonts got too light, and you had to really play with it to try and figure out how to make it readable. One thing I had to do, and I don't know if it's necessarily a bad thing, was when I was running a meeting, I would have to go turn off the data jobs. If I was running a meeting and a lot of times people were scrambling in the background to do their updates even as the meeting was occurring, it would cause the page to render very slowly. It would sometimes pause or freeze. I found that if I went and turned off the status, the data update jobs that we're pulling data from Smartsheet, then the meetings would work more smoothly, and there were no interruptions or delays.

Creates user-friendly analysis environments for large datasets
The tool is user-friendly for the end users. It is primarily a search-based tool. Users do not need a technical background to work directly on the dataset. Its compatibility with most databases, including the latest from FlexMovely and Redshift, allows users to create joins and worksheets easily. ThoughtSpot is fast, even with one to ten terabytes of data.
