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.

"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"Based on my experience with different customers, Zoho Analytics has positively impacted their organizations."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"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."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries"
"Zoho Analytics can improve by offering more options in the reports, as there are situations where the types of reports offered are a little limited, and I would like additional types of reports along with more functions in the SQL for queries."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"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 product is expensive."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"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 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."
