Featured Reviews

Ram Alla - PeerSpot reviewer
BI Consultant at KPI Partners
Has supported secure report building and simplified data visualization for non-technical users
The features I find most useful in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service include data visualization desktop for self-service reports. We can export using Excel and CSV files by dragging and dropping the columns to create reports. The drag-and-drop interface in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service helps create dashboards for non-technical users as it is easy to use. By dragging and dropping columns, it creates a tabular view by default. We can convert these into many graphs and views such as pivot tables and other interactive graphical representations. I use self-service analytics in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service.
Sai Nandan Sambu - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Data Analyst at Monocept
Has improved HR insights through seamless data integration and real-time reporting
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

"Its ease of use and the ability to drill down into detail are the most valuable, and executive dashboarding features are the most commonly used ones."
"The solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"This solution allowed us to consolidate information from the finance and supply chain systems into aggregate reporting, which had been very difficult to create in the past."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are user-friendly and self-service tools. Users can define their reports based on available data sets, with multiple dimensions and slide and dice data capabilities."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"We find Zoho Analytics easy to use, making it very beneficial for our operations."
"What I appreciate most about Zoho Analytics is the pivot table functionality, as in the pivot table and scheduler table, if we want data in one report, we can use an SQL query and get data from different modules."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The variety of reports, tables, and dashboards that are automatically generated and ready to use are applicable to many different demands, saving a lot of time and allowing the business analyst to focus on content and insights."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"For $50/mo we are saving dozens of hours of staff-time and making better decisions."
 

Cons

"Quality of support varies."
"The dashboard could be improved and include additional features."
"When looking at web-based BI or cloud-based BI vendors, there should be abilities for power users to build deep analysis. If they are not data science tools, they are not for power users."
"Some of the advanced analytics need work, and I believe there's an opportunity to improve or simplify the integration with data power users and data science users."
"I didn't interact with them for this solution, but from a broader perspective, my experience with Oracle is that their tech support sits somewhere between low and fair."
"In terms of data modeling, it could be simplified. Sometimes, it seems complicated. Also, the response time for data set refreshes could be faster to enhance the user experience."
"As an expert, I can recommend that improvements could be made in Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service regarding cost."
"I would like them to improve the AI capabilities to let it learn more, as the Ask Zia AI chatbots and AI tools that bring automated reports currently do not make sense since the reports aren't any good; most of the time, 90% of the AI-generated reports make no sense for us."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"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."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"I remember that cleaning up data was a challenge, and on several occasions we had to upload data sets again after making changes in another program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
"Oracle products are always going to be on the higher end of your price scale. You have to kind of accept that going in."
"The product is expensive."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
