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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Khalix is a simple tool that builds on existing data sources to develop solutions in forecasting, planning and consolidation needs."
"Well certainly this product has helped many finance users in the organization as this product enables them to see the numbers for any cost center and business unit and also get a consolidated view of group level numbers."
"This product offers a wide range of corporate performance management tools for powerful financial consolidation, planning and reporting."
"This tool is mainly used for forecasting, and it will, for sure, help all the organizations that need data/reports on expenses and headcount forecasting."
"This has given our sales team direct motivation, allowing us to reach new sales milestones."
"The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities."
"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."
"What I like the most is the flexibility of creating dashboards."
"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."
"Its a fast tool to assist companies who do not want to spend on software developments."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"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."
 

Cons

"If you compare it with Oracle then Longview isn't that user friendly."
"The initial set up was complex and painful, both with respect to database setup and the execution script."
"Web based reporting can have better user interface and functions."
"The original cost is set to use enterprise wide but the users growth is too slow to justify the cost. That's one of the reasons we stopped using this tool."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"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 data visualization features of Zoho Analytics can be improved in terms of decision-making processes. There are many shortcomings in the query language, as it is outdated, and many keywords cannot be used."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"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."
"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."
