Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like the automated scheduling feature."
"It's very easy to use it to develop mappings and workflows."
"PowerCenter performs well during data transformation and optimization."
"I found the map links, work links, and workflows valuable. They are important features."
"The number of docs has been reduced drastically, which is very good."
"It has a Data Catalog that uses the Model repository."
"We can scale the product."
"It is easy to use, and it is quick for developing things. It is fairly powerful, and it can integrate with a lot of different platforms without much hassle."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"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."
"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."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics is its connectivity with ERP systems and the functionality to set up different fields for leads."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"It would be good to recreate the entire interface to make it easier for users to build workflows."
"The solution's commercial cost is very high. Other open-source tools can do the tool's functions for free. The world is moving to the cloud, but the solution hasn't updated its drivers. I presume that its downfall will start soon. The tool is trying to cross-sell or upsell without helping customers derive benefits from the existing products. They have multiple tools and licenses. It is better to bring the smaller tools in one umbrella."
"I would like to see improvements made to the custom transformations. It should be more open for users that want to write their own code and use cases."
"There is a need to buy a separate license if one wishes to connect with some kind of SAP system, such as SalesForce."
"PowerCenter could integrate better with cloud applications. We had to do a lot of configuration work using API integrations to connect with cloud applications. Informatica Cloud Data Integration has a generic connector that you can use directly, so it's much easier."
"We need another tool for monitoring. It would be easier if all the features were consolidated into one tool."
"It would be nice to have all tools in one place. CDC needs more effort, as it's only easy to develop if you are familiar with Linux."
"The UI is outdated and old-fashioned, at least in our current version. Also, we have experienced some stability issues with the Workflow Monitor application."
"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."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
