How to balance Datastore over Allocation

Now days we observed Datastores over allocation for 80 % Datastores we have in our environment.

Need to understand if thin provisioning is the only key point to be resolved  

Can we balance All the data store in a way so that such over allocation can be rectified

Would be good if convert all thin to thick vmdk ?

What could be the best config to get this over allocation resolved like we should use some datastore for thin provisioning not all? Or if any other way we can get this fixed ?
