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.

Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making

I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.

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

"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."

"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."

"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 benefits I've seen from using Zoho Analytics include saving time; this is the most important benefit for me as I don't need to do my analytics or revisit a report repeatedly every month or according to the frequency of the requirement."

"Zoho Analytics' data visualization features have helped me improve decision-making overall by making it easier to draw a story from complex data, backtrack my data, and ensuring accuracy."

"The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities."

"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

Cons

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

"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."

"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."

"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."

"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."

"I have not seen any improvement with Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights because it has not been accurate."

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

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

"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

"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."

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

"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."

"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."

"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."

"The product's licensing is reasonable."

"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 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."
