Regarding stability, it's actually working correctly.

Room For Improvement

Sisense users want enhanced large dataset handling, improved dashboards, better data connectivity, and reduced costs with more customization options.
Zoho Analytics faces challenges with interface, limited tools, support, performance, pricing, and lacks advanced graphics and intuitive navigation.
I would like to see an improvement in the live data connection, specifically making the process faster.
Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.
In my opinion, the API feature from Zoho Analytics needs significant improvement, as it's quite hard to connect with Google Sheets or other websites.
 

Setup Cost

Sisense offers a subscription model with competitive pricing, ideal for mid-sized to large enterprises due to its robust features.
Zoho Analytics offers flexible, competitive pricing with monthly fees, appreciated for cost-effectiveness, especially with Zoho One multiple tool use.
There was no significant difference in pricing between Sisense and ThoughtSpot.
 

Valuable Features

Sisense offers user-friendly deployment, rapid data integration, intuitive dashboards, and advanced analytics for enhanced data insights and visualization.
Zoho Analytics provides robust features like intuitive reports, AI insights, and seamless integration for efficient data visualization and analysis.
It offers two ways to access data: by cubing the data or hitting it live.
These multiple dashboards are available to view in a single place, which is very beneficial.
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.
The benefits I've seen from using Zoho Analytics include saving time; this is the most important benefit for me.

Featured Reviews

Wiboon Thabsuwan - PeerSpot reviewer
Helps businesses save time and offers good integration features
I would say that using Sisense on Linux's platform might not be advantageous for everyone. I am more familiar with Windows than Linux. With Windows, the system performs very fast. Even if your data size consists of like 10,00,00,000 loads or whatever, it works very fast. When using Sisense, it is better to have some people with a very good understanding of Linux. I need more technical people who understand about Linux OS. Only two people would be enough to operate the tool.
Nadeem Asghar - PeerSpot reviewer
Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making
I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.
