Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement
The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

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

"Another good thing about SAP is that it has powerful tools like the SAP Data View and HANA and BO configuration, which will always give you better results with any type of data and any amount of data within a short time."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
"What I like the most is the flexibility of creating dashboards."
"We find Zoho Analytics easy to use, making it very beneficial for our operations."
"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 AI called Zia in Zoho Analytics is extremely useful—whenever I build a chart or dashboard, I can generate a summary of insights using this AI tool, which is very convenient for both leadership and manager level teams to understand the data concepts."
"Customer Service: Excellent. the support team have been very helpful, on one occasion even writing a particularly complex query for me, Technical Support: Excellent"
"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."
"The collaborative features in Zoho Analytics have fostered data-driven decision-making within my team and our customers' teams by enabling seamless communication and shared insights."
 

Cons

"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now; they're still in the infant stage and development is still going on."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."
"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"The product is expensive."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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 tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
