"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing for the solution."
"It should be more user-friendly and simple."
"The maps in Power BI could be improved. You deal with many maps over the years, like maps of America and Saudi Arabia. The maps aren't detailed enough, and there aren't enough visualization tools. Whenever I want to use a map, I struggle with choosing the right visualization."
"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 navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"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."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"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."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
