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.

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

"Beautiful visualizations."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"What I appreciate most about Zoho Analytics is the pivot table functionality, as in the pivot table and scheduler table, if we want data in one report, we can use an SQL query and get data from different modules."

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

"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."

More Zoho Analytics pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."

"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 analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."

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

"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."

"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."

"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."

"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."

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."

"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."

"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."

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

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

"The product's licensing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."
