"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.""The solution’s dashboard is very good.""The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports.""I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform.""It's a very strong analytics tool.""The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."

Cons
"The tool should come up with data modeling layer features that are present in other products like Power BI.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"The platform's pricing needs improvement.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards.""The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times.""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.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive.""There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics.""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."

  • More Google Data Studio Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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 don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
  • "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."
  • "This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
  • "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."
  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
