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.

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.

More Zoho Analytics pros

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."

"One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible."

"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."

"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."

"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."

"The data visualization features of Zoho Analytics can be improved in terms of decision-making processes. There are many shortcomings in the query language, as it is outdated, and many keywords cannot be used."

"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."

"One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible."

"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."

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

"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."

"The product is expensive."

"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."
