Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data Interpreter: Which can identify issues or potential errors with your imported data."
"The solution has great features which nobody can beat, you can do a lot of customizations, such as use different dimensions and colorize them. Additionally, you can use the numeric values for the customization, which is an exceptional feature."
"It's intuitive and highly mature"
"Its performance is pretty good, and the development time is very low."
"It is a very stable product. It doesn't break."
"The best thing I like about Tableau is that you don't have to go for creating; it is calculated free."
"Self-service is most valuable. Users can pick up quickly and do the resolution. There are a lot of out-of-the-box features, and it satisfies most of the needs. If users are properly trained, they can deal with any situation."
"The dashboards are amazing, with different report types and stunning visuals. Most importantly, Tableau's AI with machine learning automatically predicts features and reports based on historical data. These are the three most valuable features for me."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"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."
"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."
"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 initial setup is straightforward."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"The solution could use more features in data analytics."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"It's already using 32 gigabytes of memory, but the performance is not so good. It's very heavy."
"Its price is a concern. It is more expensive than Power BI. The other thing that I never liked about Tableau is its ability to handle large sets of data. To present the data in the dashboards, we have to stage it up exactly like it is going to come into the dashboard. We use another tool called Alteryx that does that for us. So, we manipulate the data, get it staged, and then push it into Tableau. Tableau is terrible at handling large data sets, and we knew right away that we couldn't use Tableau to do data manipulation."
"Tableau's automatic insight could be improved. It has some predefined capabilities to understand the data, but I think they need more. Customers need more insight automatically from data—they don't want to discover them, they want to get the forecast automatically. The data preparation should also be improved because it's not easy. Tableau tries to focus on the business side, but the backend side has not improved much. They also have an ETS solution, but it's limited."
"Implementation requires a technical background."
"If I have to develop any, for example, pie charts, I can develop them just fine. However, if I have to develop a donut chart, that I cannot do it in a simple way. There are tricks that I need to use if I have to design a donut chart. It should be more flexible and provide more visualization options."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"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."
