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 improved HR insights through seamless data integration and real-time reporting
For our strategic initiatives, the AI functionality is not useful because it cannot provide requirement-specific insights. It only gives an overview of the report. 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. However, with one text field and multiple numerical data fields, sorting works properly. I have escalated several cases for Zoho Analytics. In one instance, we needed a specific chart type that wasn't available in Zoho Analytics, unlike Power BI where new charts can be added. After multiple escalations, they provided a feature to add charts using JavaScript. Additionally, we have escalated the pivot table sorting issue multiple times, but it remains unresolved.

Pros

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"What I like the most is the flexibility of creating dashboards."
"The major benefit of using Zoho Analytics in our organization is that before implementation, we didn't have any insights or data security and integration capabilities."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"For $50/mo we are saving dozens of hours of staff-time and making better decisions."
"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 data visualization features of Zoho Analytics have helped me improve decision making for my customers, and I could assess the impact of Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights on the strategic initiatives of my customers."
 

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"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 have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"However we do not like proposed UI changes and find that in general as a vendor Zoho is rather unresponsive to feedback from its customers."
"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 would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."

"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."
