Pros
"Dashboards and self-service reports. These are widely used by customers in the EPM domain."

More Birst Pros →

"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics.""The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs.""The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads.""I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show.""The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function.""It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."

Cons
"Customer support takes lot of time to get a solution."

More Birst Cons →

"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic.""A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved.""I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Please negotiate on the price and purchase the latest version."
  • More Birst Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."
  • "An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
  • "I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
  • "It is very reasonable, and it gives me a good return on investment. Compared to other tools, it is the best choice in terms of pricing."
  • "This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
  • "The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."

    Overview

    Birst Networked BI and Analytics eliminates information silos. Decentralized users can augment the enterprise data model virtually, as opposed to physically, without compromising data governance.

    A unified semantic layer maintains common definitions and key metrics.
    Birst’s two-tier architecture aligns back-end sources with line-of-business or local data. Birst’s Automated Data Refinement extracts data from any source into a unified semantic layer. Users are enabled with self-service analytics through executive dashboards, reporting, visual discovery, mobile tools, and predictive analytics. Birst Open Client Interface also offers integration with Tableau, Excel and R.

    Birst goes to market in two primary ways: as a direct sale, for enterprises using Birst on internal data to manage their business; and embedded, for companies who offer analytic products, by embedding and white-labeling Birst capabilities into their products.

    Birst’s is packaged in 3 available formats: Platform and per-user fee; by Department or Business Unit; by end-customer (for embedded scenarios).

    Zoho Reports is a powerful, easy-to-use and highly scalable cloud-based reporting and business intelligence platform for small to medium-sized businesses. Its flexible pay-as-you-go pricing model and scope for customization allow businesses to tailor it to their unique needs.
