Pros

"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.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""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.""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.""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."

Cons
"If there were to be any improvements right now, their documentation needs to get in sync with their product.""When it comes to customer support, we don't always reach the right person. Sometimes, we get junior-level reps who aren't as knowledgeable as we are.""The solution can be improved by adding more automated options for reporting.""The challenge lies not in what the tool can do but in how you use it and understand the data."

More Information Builders WebFOCUS Cons →

"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""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 support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic.""The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times.""The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors.""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 hourly pricing needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, with ten being expensive."
  • More Information Builders WebFOCUS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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 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."
  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
