Technical Manager at Bahwan CyberTek
Has delivered visually appealing reports and improved user interaction
The integration of TIBCO Jaspersoft with some data sources has limitations that I encountered, and it was not very straightforward. This was one of the concerns with TIBCO Jaspersoft. The limitations include compatibility with some drivers where we do not have adequate JDBC drivers, and because of that, I am not able to make the connection pool. I do see a negative side in terms of support. I am a little disappointed because when we report any defect, it takes time to get a resolution. There are also limitations on some connectors where we do not have connectivity established. These are the few issues I faced while using TIBCO Jaspersoft.

Data Analyst at Mobolution
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

"The reports I prepare using TIBCO Jaspersoft are quite user-friendly, and the look and feel are much better compared to other report generation tools."

"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."

"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"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."
"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."
"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."

"There is scope of improvement in terms of: More flexibility for report / dashboards development. A report bursting option."

"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries"
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"I remember that cleaning up data was a challenge, and on several occasions we had to upload data sets again after making changes in another program."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."
"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."
"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."
"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."
"The solution is a little bit expensive."
"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"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."
