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.
Sudharsan Nagarajan - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Product Analyst at Bureau
Has reduced stakeholder dependency and improved workflow efficiency through advanced dashboard features
As a product analyst, one of the best features in Zoho Analytics is its ability to allow stakeholders to access raw data for any kind of metric I've created, significantly reducing my dependency to share data sets repeatedly, saving a lot of time. The data visualization feature in Zoho Analytics has indeed helped in decision-making processes, as it is more specific to what kind of metric the company tracks and how they visualize it, facilitating effective visualizations that assist us in making decisions. Zoho Analytics' collaborative features, such as allowing for multiple people to edit or explore the data together, have been beneficial. I was able to generate customized reports for each of the more than 300 people in my team with around 20 plus teams, sharing it with team leads and providing them with pre-filtered data sets or dashboards while maintaining privacy by restricting access to unnecessary data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"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 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 solution effectively integrates with third-party products."
"For $50/mo we are saving dozens of hours of staff-time and making better decisions."
"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."
"The AI called Zia in Zoho Analytics is extremely useful—whenever I build a chart or dashboard, I can generate a summary of insights using this AI tool, which is very convenient for both leadership and manager level teams to understand the data concepts."
"We are a hotel chain, there are seven hotels all over the country and Zoho Reports lets us collect important information without traveling or sending big e-mails."
"As a product analyst, one of the best features in Zoho Analytics is its ability to allow stakeholders to access raw data for any kind of metric I've created, significantly reducing my dependency to share data sets repeatedly, saving a lot of time."
"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."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"Customer Service: Excellent. the support team have been very helpful, on one occasion even writing a particularly complex query for me, Technical Support: Excellent"
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"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 support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"I would let the users delete and copy as many cells as they want. It is absolutely uncomfortable for me to do it one by one."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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."
"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."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"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."
