Cons
"It is not easy to integrate the product with other tools in the market.""It doesn't have quite the flexibility of a Tableau or something like that. Many users are more comfortable with Tableau and I'm not quite sure why that is right now, but it seems to be the case.""The solution's interface is old.""The setup is difficult because you have to install different servers.""We encounter some barriers while trying to build a report.""In this solution, the cost should be reduced for the enterprise edition.""We have had issues with the refresh interval since we have too many reports scheduled. Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services is also expensive.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model."

More Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Cons →

"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic.""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 tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""The platform's pricing needs improvement.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""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 is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
