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. 

There is room for improvement related to the formulas because I'm really struggling with the formulas.

At the backend. Even though formulas are correct, values are showing continuous errors. I've already submitted three to four tickets to the Zoho support team related to this issue.

Another area of improvement is support. The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic. 

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.

I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures. 

The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features. 

The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support. So we cannot retrieve reports if there’s an issue. Instead, we must put the reports in the BI tool and send them to our management.

Zoho Analytics provides analytics and reporting for up to 1000 SKUs. If there are more than 1000 SKUs, the data is automatically uploaded to Excelpoint, and we must extract data from there.

The platform's pricing needs improvement.

The navigation on the interface is not intuitive. The product must improve its interface.

The query language is complex, but it's complex, like, in MSSQL.

The approach should be the same in secret and regular secret commands. It's a trusted period language. We have a data source from a data source.

They have a script to introduce some different sources. Still, they could provide more templates so you can quickly adapt to the query command, for example, query command. To teach the users because if you're going to have a data analysis, the query should be easier to code—the same task.

The hourly pricing needs improvement.

I would like to add data directly to Zoho Analytics. 

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.

Some APIs are not available for connecting to external data. Tableau provides a bigger variety of external data sources that I can connect to than Zoho. I want Zoho to allow for more connectivity to external data, like Tableau, so that we can connect to more data sources.

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

There should be a hierarchical structure among the filters so that when applying the main ones, they will cover all of the objects in the dashboard. The filter should also be applied to the labels as opposed to only the data.

There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports.

You should be able to combine graphics, especially for presenting modeling and statistical evaluations. For the same reason, more scientific and statistical formulas should be available.

It should be used to customize and configure graphics.

There need to be more models of widgets. At a minimum, it should be possible to have two data columns in the same widget.

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

This solution does not support manufacturing facilities.

Across Zoho products, it is not possible to consider multiple types of discounts. For example, if you give a discount on one level, and then want to give a separate discount at the invoice level, it is not possible.

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. 

It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards. For example, variables or sliders that can be used to change assumptions which have been made in the analysis. 

Some more graphical options would also be great.

It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great.

Delete and copy cells. I would let the users delete and copy as many cells as they want. It is absolutely uncomfortable for me to do it one by one.

Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries

The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments. The SQL editor could also use some tweaks, as it is currently difficult to debug large queries without having to copy the text into a text editor to get line and column numbers.

No suggestions. However we do not like proposed UI changes and find that in general as a vendor Zoho is rather unresponsive to feedback from its customers.

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 pivot tables also took little bit of time to get used to, particularly when choosing which variable to put where and which functions to apply. One feature I wish Zoho has was a tool to determine statistical significance, which would have made analyzing data easier, although I think this is outside what the program is intended for.
