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.

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."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"Its a fast tool to assist companies who do not want to spend on software developments."
"As a product analyst, one of the best features in Zoho Analytics is its ability to allow stakeholders to access raw data for any kind of metric I've created, significantly reducing my dependency to share data sets repeatedly, saving a lot of time."
"The variety of reports, tables, and dashboards that are automatically generated and ready to use are applicable to many different demands, saving a lot of time and allowing the business analyst to focus on content and insights."
"The artificial intelligence capabilities that Zoho Analytics provides gives customers excellent insights into their business."
 

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option."
"I would let the users delete and copy as many cells as they want. It is absolutely uncomfortable for me to do it one by one."

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."
"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."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"The product is expensive."
