Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively

RStudio Connect ( /products/rstudio-connect-reviews ) 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 ( /products/knime-reviews ) 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.

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."

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

"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."

"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."

"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."

"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."

"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."

"The solution’s dashboard is very good."

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

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."

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

"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."

"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."

"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."

"The platform's pricing needs improvement."

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

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

"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
