Has supported trend analysis and forecasting but needs major fixes in customization and reliability

There are some areas where Zoho Analytics needs improvement compared to Power BI. Uploading and interpreting data inside the interface needs enhancement. While Power BI uses Power Query, an intuitive and powerful tool that allows data manipulation in any way, Zoho Analytics has limitations. I usually prepare data in Excel before uploading it to Zoho Analytics. The charts in Zoho Analytics are not as customizable as in Power BI. While all chart types are available, they can only be modified at a basic level, not an advanced level. Though trend analysis features are provided, creating anything out of the box is challenging.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."

"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

"The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities."

"The AI called Zia in Zoho Analytics is extremely useful—whenever I build a chart or dashboard, I can generate a summary of insights using this AI tool, which is very convenient for both leadership and manager level teams to understand the data concepts."

"We track the sales funnel and set up graph charts and bar charts to analyze the number of leads received in the previous month compared to current leads, helping us figure out and analyze which campaigns are performing well."

"The solution’s dashboard is very good."

"What I appreciate most about Zoho Analytics is the pivot table functionality, as in the pivot table and scheduler table, if we want data in one report, we can use an SQL query and get data from different modules."

"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy."

"Based on my experience with different customers, Zoho Analytics has positively impacted their organizations."

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."

"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."

"I would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."

"One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible."

"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."

"The improvement needed is regarding the number of API calls. Currently, Zoho Analytics only allows us to update data hourly. It would be much better to have updates more frequently every half an hour."

"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."

"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."

"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."

"The product's licensing is reasonable."

"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."

"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
