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.

Pricing and ROI: Zoho Analytics offers competitive pricing with lower setup costs and substantial ROI for small to mid-sized businesses. Google Cloud Datalab requires a higher investment upfront but delivers significant ROI for enterprises focused on large-scale analytics through its comprehensive features.

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.

Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making

I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

"Google Cloud Datalab is very customizable."

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

"The APIs are valuable."

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

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

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

"The benefits I've seen from using Zoho Analytics include saving time; this is the most important benefit for me as I don't need to do my analytics or revisit a report repeatedly every month or according to the frequency of the requirement."

"The collaborative features in Zoho Analytics have fostered data-driven decision-making within my team and our customers' teams by enabling seamless communication and shared insights."

"The major benefit of using Zoho Analytics in our organization is that before implementation, we didn't have any insights or data security and integration capabilities."

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

"It's a very strong analytics tool."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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 product must be made more user-friendly."

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

"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."

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

"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."

"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."

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

"I have not seen any improvement with Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights because it has not been accurate."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product is cheap."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."

"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."

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