We performed a comparison between Microsoft Power BI and Zoho Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most useful features are the ability to connect different databases to Microsoft BI and explore them. Once the database information has been extracted, you have the ability to construct indicators and dashboards from the information."
"The interface is very fluid."
"Its visualization capabilities are pretty good. It is very easy to use. You can easily make your dashboard."
"Its ease of use is most valuable."
"PowerBi is used to import our production data and generate dashboards, then integrates other Excel sheets to provide managers dashboards. This helps them get insights to make better OEE improvement decisions, mainly where to focus resources. We became able to see indicators from any time frame (day, week, month, or year), then could make better decisions."
"In the process of using data there is the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL). For extracting we are using another software, for transforming we are using our own coding in C#, and then we use Microsoft BI for loading the information. Microsoft BI displays information very well."
"It seems stable. I haven't heard of any difficulties from my clients that utilize Power BI."
"The most valuable features in Microsoft BI are the analysis using the feature drag and drop function. It's very easy to load and use different data sources."
"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."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"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."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The visualization aspect, while being the most visible to business users, also happens the be the weakest point in the entire Microsoft BI stack."
"The integration with third-party products could be more stable."
"The default parameters of the prompt could be improved by including a dynamic option."
"Microsoft has made a lot of progress with Power BI in the past couple of years, but there is still some room for improvement. For example, Integration is one area they could work on. They are adding more integration with other Microsoft tools, but I would like it if they sped up the process."
"Most of the dashboarding tools have prebuilt graphs. So, you have to stick with them, unless you are going to use a third-party tool to create them, and then you are going to upload them to the BI tool. In Power BI, they started supporting this functionality and created a tool for that, but it isn't yet complete and mature. It is still exceeding the expectations and is better than most of the BI tools when it comes to creating custom graphs, but it needs more enhancement and simplification. It would be good to have a design tool provided by Power BI to design the graphs that we want and set the figures that we want on them."
"It needs an AI which can choose the appropriate connection strings and provide options for connections."
"The data source definition is all over the place."
"From a scalability and performance perspective and based on my understanding and feedback from end users, there's room for improvement in data processing, scaling up, and leveraging the cloud. That could be an enhancement area for me to look into."
"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 navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
