Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively
RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

Muljo Witono - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
"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."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"The improvement needed is regarding the number of API calls. Currently, Zoho Analytics only allows us to update data hourly. It would be much better to have updates more frequently every half an hour."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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 pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"The product is expensive."
