Why do innovative companies choose
ThoughtSpot over Tableau?

Tableau is so much more complex. In my experience, two to three percent of users become self-sufficient with that solution. ThoughtSpot can be used by anyone from C-level to intern and we are seeing an incredible retention rate. Leon Tang VP of Analytics
We had 160 Tableau dashboards, but were using 4. Only 20% of the business was using Tableau. With ThoughtSpot, we’ve built 4 core Liveboards, that then empowered 80% of our business to query their own data and make better decisions. Luke Treglown Senior Manager of Data Science
From 650 removed reports, 118 were Tableau dashboards that once deleted, no one actually spoke a word about or missed them at all. Ivan Dennis Senior Manager of Business Intelligence
