Sentiment score

Zoho Analytics saves time and costs by streamlining data analysis, enhancing decision-making, and eliminating database management needs for $50/month.
The biggest return on investment is the time saving for the customer.

Zoho Analytics' customer service is responsive and helpful, though some users face delays and issues with specialized support.
I would rate the customer support a solid 10.
With a single click, live support is available, and for major issues, they conduct a live session to resolve the problem.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
QlikView is scalable with proper hardware, though high user counts may require infrastructure enhancements and favor Qlik Sense.
Sentiment score
6.5
Zoho Analytics efficiently manages large data volumes, serving diverse users and organizations, though license upgrades may be necessary.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
QlikView is praised for stability and robustness, with some resource intensity issues during heavy data processing but overall reliable.
Sentiment score
7.5
Zoho Analytics is praised for stability, quick bug fixes, and excellent performance, with minimal downtime and few crashes.

Room For Improvement

QlikView's outdated interface, scalability issues, and high costs drive users towards modern tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik Sense.
Zoho Analytics faces challenges with interface, limited tools, support, performance, pricing, and lacks advanced graphics and intuitive navigation.
In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI.
Providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful.
 

Setup Cost

QlikView's pricing varies significantly, with high setup and user costs compared to Power BI and SAP Crystal Reports.
Zoho Analytics offers flexible, competitive pricing with monthly fees, appreciated for cost-effectiveness, especially with Zoho One multiple tool use.
The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually.
 

Valuable Features

QlikView offers dynamic dashboards, self-service BI, and rapid data visualization with its Associative Query Logic and user-friendly interface.
Zoho Analytics provides robust features like intuitive reports, AI insights, and seamless integration for efficient data visualization and analysis.
The best features in QlikView are rapid development, the fact that I can do what I want in QlikView, and full control along with ease of use.
I can track the progress and activities of my salespersons, as well as see advanced reporting based on line charts, graph charts, and pie charts.

Helps to analyze past performance and conduct company performance reviews
Integration with other platforms in Zoho Analytics works fairly well. We've successfully integrated it with other databases. However, the issue lies in the frequency of updates, which happens only every four hours. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten. I would recommend Zoho Analytics to others. Compared to Microsoft Power BI, it's easier to work with databases for analytics.
