It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent

I think a lot of users aren't having fun using SAP because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP is a complex system where you can learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly. In the next release of SAP, I want it to have a friendlier menu for its users.

An easy-to-set up solution that helps in the scheduling of reports and dashboards

A lot of integrations are available with Zoho Analytics. There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics. The data can be in millions. There are some limitations on the reports that depend on the various combinations of data you get. So there is always an error that gets thrown out if you are building complex reports.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."

"Geographic hierarchy and the ability to connect with SAP sources, such as CRM, ERP, and BW."

"The best feature is the ease of developing dashboards."

"The most value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."

"Beautiful visualizations."

"SAP Lumira is the best system in the world, at least in my opinion. I like that it's a stable system and that many people in my company have development experience in SAP Lumira. The solution keeps on improving and has excellent support."

"The most valuable features of SAP Lumira are the dashboards, geographical elements, and graph filtering, and the usage is similar to a website which makes it easy to use."

"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."

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

"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."

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

"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."

"The solution’s dashboard is very good."

"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 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."

More Zoho Analytics pros

Cons

"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."

"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."

"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."

"SAP Lumira can improve if they game more capability to the end user to prepare dashboards because it's more of an IT task to create them. In Tableau, we can drag, drop, and create. However, in SAP Lumira, we need a designer and a separate KT to be able to do it well."

"It needs the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."

"I'm not a fan of using SAP Lumira because it requires putting in a lot of information by keyboard directly because it requires some coding, so this is one area for improvement. From a user point of view, SAP Lumira is a complex system to learn and teach, so another area for improvement in the solution is that it needs to be more user-friendly."

"It needs an easier printing feature."

"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."

"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."

"The hourly pricing needs improvement."

"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."

"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."

"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the 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 navigation on the interface is not intuitive."

More Zoho Analytics cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."

"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."

"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."

"The product is expensive."

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