Featured Reviews

Aman Thapa - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Scientist at Mathco
Transforms analytics with seamless integrations and AI-driven insights for quick decision-making
The best features Hex offers are rich analytics, seamless integrations, ease of use, flexibility, an intuitive interface, and powerful AI features, which I find very valuable.The unique aspects of Hex that stand out compared to other BI tools include its ease of use and flexibility, as well as its ability to seamlessly integrate SQL and Python for data analysis. Its intuitive interface and powerful AI features enable us to gain quick insights and efficient collaboration, making it a very valuable tool for both technical and non-technical users. Hex provides good data security and governance through access controls and permission management, so I feel confident using its AI features. I believe it has been reliable regarding data security. Using Hex's AI has been very helpful; it has been accurate and reliable, generally providing correct and useful outputs for data analysis and SQL generation. Hex integrates very seamlessly with other AWS services we use, especially with Amazon Redshift and Amazon S3, making connecting data straightforward.
Sai Nandan Sambu - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Data Analyst at Monocept
Has improved HR insights through seamless data integration and real-time reporting
For our strategic initiatives, the AI functionality is not useful because it cannot provide requirement-specific insights. It only gives an overview of the report. One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible. However, with one text field and multiple numerical data fields, sorting works properly. I have escalated several cases for Zoho Analytics. In one instance, we needed a specific chart type that wasn't available in Zoho Analytics, unlike Power BI where new charts can be added. After multiple escalations, they provided a feature to add charts using JavaScript. Additionally, we have escalated the pivot table sorting issue multiple times, but it remains unresolved.

Pros

"Hex has positively impacted my organization by improving my productivity."
"The best features Hex offers are rich analytics, seamless integrations, ease of use, flexibility, an intuitive interface, and powerful AI features, which I find very valuable."
"Hex offers excellent features that make it fast and easy to use."
"We track the sales funnel and set up graph charts and bar charts to analyze the number of leads received in the previous month compared to current leads, helping us figure out and analyze which campaigns are performing well."
"Customer Service: Excellent. the support team have been very helpful, on one occasion even writing a particularly complex query for me, Technical Support: Excellent"
"The artificial intelligence capabilities that Zoho Analytics provides gives customers excellent insights into their business."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"What I appreciate most about Zoho Analytics is the pivot table functionality, as in the pivot table and scheduler table, if we want data in one report, we can use an SQL query and get data from different modules."
"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."
 

Cons

"Hex can be improved if they could implement new models because there are new LLMs appearing on a weekly basis, and they are still using the same one."
"Notebooks can quickly become messy once you start creating many cells in the same notebook, making it easy to lose your place while scrolling to find the cell you are looking for."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible."
"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."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"I would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."
"I would let the users delete and copy as many cells as they want. It is absolutely uncomfortable for me to do it one by one."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."
