It's stable, it keeps on improving and the technical support is excellent
I use SAP for the procurement and planning department. However, my company has an SAP implementation in every department, whether its for production, reporting, finance, HR, etc SAP 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…

Helps to create advanced reports and has good Query Table feature
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…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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 value that Lumira provides is in its ability to consume the Business Objects universe."
"It is fairly easy and fast when it comes to using it."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"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."
"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 data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
 

Cons

"Lumira's capabilities feel like that of a store app with the intuitiveness of a desktop app, which is not a good combination."
"It would be great to have more ETL capabilities so that the user can do more cleansing/mining on his/her side."
"It needs an easier printing feature."
"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 the ability to drill down more. Analyzing data with Lumira at times becomes a bit difficult."
"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."
"Lumira uses a lot of memory resources, so the execution of dashboards is slow."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"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 should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"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 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"PowerBI is way more capable at a much better price point: $10 per user without all the associated setup costs."
"In terms of cost, SAP Lumira is less affordable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"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 rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
