Managing complex data hierarchies has improved analytics but still needs richer hierarchy types
To evaluate Cube's efficiency in handling large data volumes, I use metrics including F1 scores, AUC (Area Under the Curve), and RMC (Root Mean Squares), along with RSE (Root Square Errors). These factors help me gauge the efficiency of the algorithms clearly. Regarding improving Cube, I believe that when we are building hierarchies, I should enhance the type of hierarchies. For instance, in a few countries lacking state systems, there could be a hierarchy without proper categorization—such as continent, country, and city. Therefore, it would be beneficial if I could improve the hierarchies to retrieve data as quickly as possible from Cube.

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.

Cons

"Cube can be improved by enhancing data refresh over multiple tabs."
"When it comes to the initial setup of Cube, I faced some challenges, including server issues when uploading data from local sources to the Unipi servers."
"There is no way to create a real template that is not exposed directly in the UI."
"Cube's interface can be challenging for non-technical users, needing clearer use-case examples to ease integration into workflows."
"I did not see any return on investment from Cube."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"The data visualization features of Zoho Analytics can be improved in terms of decision-making processes. There are many shortcomings in the query language, as it is outdated, and many keywords cannot be used."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries"
