Python dashboards have transformed employment data into interactive insights for better decisions
The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look. If you want to create something extra and go more vivid and creative with how the actual chart would look, it allows for that option but could be improved to be more artistic or aesthetically pleasing. This sort of format is missing, and I think it would be beneficial to the analytics team if it can be more interactive, with the capability of D3.js, and give us more control over how our actual dashboard would look to achieve a more aesthetic appearance. The strict format of how you can shape those charts and that extra nuance you need to keep in code to get the exact possible results are the reasons behind my rating. The rest of the features provided by Plotly are extremely good.

Has supported trend analysis and forecasting but needs major fixes in customization and reliability
There are some areas where Zoho Analytics needs improvement compared to Power BI. Uploading and interpreting data inside the interface needs enhancement. While Power BI uses Power Query, an intuitive and powerful tool that allows data manipulation in any way, Zoho Analytics has limitations. I usually prepare data in Excel before uploading it to Zoho Analytics. The charts in Zoho Analytics are not as customizable as in Power BI. While all chart types are available, they can only be modified at a basic level, not an advanced level. Though trend analysis features are provided, creating anything out of the box is challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Plotly Dash Enterprise helps us achieve a much more interactive and vivid form of visualization for our organization, which helps us drive better results and analytics."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine to ten out of ten."
"The level of interactivity that the product provides is valuable to me."
"When reviewing and interpreting data, I typically examine it in a tabular form to understand its structure. However, when explaining or presenting the findings to others, I often use visualization tools such as Plotly. These tools allow me to create visual representations of datasets."
"We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts, and 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."
"We find Zoho Analytics easy to use, making it very beneficial for our operations."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Its a fast tool to assist companies who do not want to spend on software developments."
"The artificial intelligence capabilities that Zoho Analytics provides gives customers excellent insights into their business."
"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 front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
 

Cons

"The main improvement I can think of is that while creating charts, it gives you a certain format of how it could look."
"The tool needs to improve its pie charts. Regarding Plotly, I find the online documentation somewhat challenging to navigate, especially when dealing with many parameters. Searching through thousands of parameters can be a tedious and less straightforward process. While the documentation is available online and serves its purpose, I often encounter difficulties in finding the information."
"I believe that the prices of the tool's paid services could be on the premium side, so the pricing model can be considered for improvement."
"The solution cannot be deployed on the website and shared with others through its own platform."
"Zoho Analytics can improve by offering more options in the reports, as there are situations where the types of reports offered are a little limited, and I would like additional types of reports along with more functions in the SQL for queries."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"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."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries"
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an open-source tool. My company hasn't explored Plotly's premium services yet, but I believe the prices could be on the premium side."
"I only use the free tier of the product."
"The product is expensive."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"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."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
