A comprehensive and user-friendly business intelligence for enhanced data insight

When developing multidimensional IMDS models in Pyramid Analytics, there is a need for better features to maintain and analyze data. The application currently lacks the ability to easily track the original physical table and field names, making it challenging to relate them to business names. It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields. Such features would simplify documentation, facilitate understanding of how calculations depend on physical fields and aid in explaining the development process to others. Having this lineage and easy-to-generate data dictionary would greatly enhance the usability of Pyramid Analytics for developers.

Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making

I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think the most valuable Pyramid Analytics feature is the solution's ability to drill down and dice in the loop. I think it is better than InExcel or Power BI."

"The features I find most valuable are 'Discover,' 'Formulate,' and 'Model.' I use them regularly to build logic and create reports for my job."

"It proved to be a very powerful and useful tool due to its breakdown capabilities, easy reporting features, flexibility in building custom calculations, and the ability to integrate them into reports."

"Pyramid has a wide level of uses, as it's a complete ETL process and has a good level of connecting to a lot of data sources."

"The most valuable feature of Pyramid Analytics, outshining even top-tier platforms like Power BI, is its robust support for DAX queries."

"It seems quite performant in analyzing multi-dimensional information sets and presenting them."

"It offers a wide range of analytics options including statistics and visualizations, as well as prediction capabilities, allowing users to make forecasts based on the latest data."

"The on-premise version has quite good scalability."

"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."

"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."

"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."

"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."

"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."

"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."

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of documentation and examples, especially for newcomers like me who are learning both business intelligence and Pyramid."

"The general amount of negative comments that I am hearing from my team makes me very wary."

"I find that this is quite a heavy, time-consuming tool for developers."

"Pyramid Analytics could improve by speeding up data refresh, especially for large datasets."

"I think the graphic number of charts and components could be higher, at least comparable to Brain Power BI."

"There is room for improvement in terms of the user interface, particularly when it comes to modifying connections between filters and visual components in a dashboard."

"Even though the solution has a functionality for every step, it's not so well- defined. That needs to be improved."

"It would be desirable to have the possibility to generate a data dictionary, detailing the original physical tables, renamed fields, and derived fields."

"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."

"The hourly pricing needs improvement."

"The platform's pricing needs improvement."

"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."

"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."

"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."

"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."

"I have not seen any improvement with Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights because it has not been accurate."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is not excessively expensive, but it does increase with the addition of new features and modules."

"The product is expensive."

"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."

"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."

"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."

"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."

"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
