Astrato Analytics vs. ThoughtSpot

Astrato is a fantastic tool for dashboard development and consumption. Additionally, advanced features like notifications and writeback allow sophisticated workflows like financial approval processes to be run through Astrato as well as typical BI functions

By using the power of cloud platforms like bigquery or snowflake, ThoughtSpot can deliver performance at scale ensuring that even the largest organization can quickly analyze and visualize data. The ability to seamlessly share live dashboards fosters collaborations, ensuring everyone in the organization is working from the same data source and aligned in decision making.

• Streamlined data compilation in the cloud
• Expansion in the dynamic spectrum of business processes with our focus on digital marketing
• Very complete storage capacity

Incentivized

• Beautiful visualizations. The visuals are distinct, clean, and easy to discern from one another.
• Intelligent querying functionality. When looking to manipulate the data, the search function makes it easy to manipulate the features in the data, along with aggregating them in the way you'd like.
• Embedding! It has been a smooth process thus far for our product & technical teams to work with ThoughtSpot and bring it into our product.

Incentivized

• Handling massive amounts of data. Simplicity ends there.
• Template objects need to be explained better in the documentation.
• Ability to connect to more data sources.

Incentivized

• It would be great if ThoughtSpot can add the feature to filter by clicking on visualizations. i.e if I click on a particular data point in the chart if the full dashboard can filter just for that particular data point.
• Color coding the heatmap with different colors like green to orange to red.

We have had success with the initial use cases and there are more use cases that can receive return on investment. I don't give it a 10 because other products like Tableau are building functionality that may start to compete in the coming years.

Astrato Analytics is very easy to use especially for the non-technical user. Their "no-code" application and rich library of options creates a very streamlined approach for developing dashboards and reports.

The tool is easy to use if you know what you are doing and looking for. I know as they work towards improvements and simple language it will become even easier, but as of now they are doing a great job but there is room for improvement.

it's available unless there is a server or system update etc. sometimes the timing of this is bad (for example during a month end close)

It does what it is supposed to. Would be nice to have a bit more insights

Very friendly, with online help, blog and community. The template documentation could be more complete, however.

I give it this meeting because the team is not only help able to help us in the current solutions but also amazing and taking feedback and feeding it back to their development team which includes more products and features into ThoughtSpot

inhouse in-person training. Took a bit to long to get the basics.

poor instructions

Understand use case and model and design accordingly

To scale PowerBi, we would have needed a staff of technical folks and a substantial budget, and we still probably could not have created the robust SaaS application we did with Astrato Analytics. Astrato Analytics allowed for a staff of two to create and rollout a SaaS Application in under 60 days and provided hands on support to us as needed. There really is no comparison.

It is more flexible and PowerBI, easier work online, and share information with many users. Also the dashboards and beautiful, and the user experience is better. Performance used to be faster. We use Looker for different use cases but, when it comes to reporting and sharing information, ThoughSpot is much better.

Because it is very reliable, inside the situation, we need strong internet connection to access a lot of data but easily never had any downtime except during the upgrades

Incentivized

• Allowed us to provide clients direct access to their reports without having to increase license costs

Incentivized

• Time to market ROI is massive vs hiring the full-time dedicated team to build and maintain a frontend multi-tenant SaaS data viz product.
• It will be interesting to see over time how the advanced features play out in terms of usability and end value, such as Natural Search, which we are very excited about, and the machine learning tools.
