Executive SummaryUpdated on Jan 1, 2025

Zoho Analytics and Google Cloud Datalab are competing products in the data analytics and visualization tools category. Zoho Analytics seems to have the upper hand in pricing and ease of use, while Google Cloud Datalab offers more robust features for advanced analytics.

Features: Zoho Analytics offers intuitive drag-and-drop reports, pre-built analytics, and a wide range of integrations that streamline reporting and insights gathering. Google Cloud Datalab provides data exploration tools, integration with Python and Jupyter Notebook, and seamless integration with Google Cloud Platform services, making it suitable for more technical analysis.

Room for Improvement: Zoho Analytics could enhance its advanced analytics capabilities, expand its integration with non-Zoho products, and improve customization options for complex reporting. Google Cloud Datalab may need simpler setup processes, more user-friendly interfaces for non-technical users, and improved pricing models to be competitive with smaller businesses.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Zoho Analytics features straightforward cloud deployment with strong support, ideal for businesses seeking quick solutions. Google Cloud Datalab requires more intricate setup due to integration with Google Cloud services but benefits from robust support documentation and community assistance.

Easy to setup, stable and easy to design data pipelines

The scalability is average. We have not faced any issues with scalability. There are more than 500 end users using this solution in our company. It is an integral part of the daily operations. The usage pattern is not a one-time thing; employees regularly access and utilize the application. We use it at a global level with a scattered user base. This means that users don't all use the application at the same time. So, around 300 out of 500 employees use the solution, and this usage is spread out throughout the day.

An easy-to-set up solution that helps in the scheduling of reports and dashboards

A lot of integrations are available with Zoho Analytics. There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics. The data can be in millions. There are some limitations on the reports that depend on the various combinations of data you get. So there is always an error that gets thrown out if you are building complex reports.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The infrastructure is highly reliable and efficient, contributing to a positive experience."

"For me, it has been a stable product."

"The APIs are valuable."

"All of the features of this product are quite good."

"Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable."

"In MLOps, when we are designing the data pipeline, the designing of the data pipeline is easy in Google Cloud."

"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."

"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 integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."

"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."

"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."

"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."

"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."

"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."

More Zoho Analytics pros

Cons

"The product must be made more user-friendly."

"The interface should be more user-friendly."

"Connectivity challenges for end-users, particularly when loading data, environments, and libraries, need to be addressed for an enhanced user experience."

"There is room for improvement in the graphical user interface. So that the initial user would use it properly, that would be a good option."

"Even if your application is always connected to its database, the processing can be cumbersome. It shouldn't be so complicated."

"We have also encountered challenges during our transition period in terms of data control and segmentation. The management of each channel and data structure as it has its own unique characteristics requires very detailed and precise control. The allocation should be appropriate and the complexity increases due to the different time zones and geographic locations of our clients. The process usually involves migrating the existing database sets to gcp and ensure data integrity is maintained. This is the only challenge that we faced while navigating the integers of the solution and honestly it was an interesting and unique experience."

"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."

"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."

"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."

"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."

"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."

"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."

"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."

"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is cheap."

"The pricing is quite reasonable, and I would give it a rating of four out of ten."

"It is affordable for us because we have a limited number of users."

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

"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"The product is expensive."
