For our strategic initiatives, the AI functionality is not useful because it cannot provide requirement-specific insights. It only gives an overview of the report. One major issue I face in Zoho Analytics is related to pivot tables. When using two text fields, such as client and project, with numerical data, sorting becomes impossible. However, with one text field and multiple numerical data fields, sorting works properly. I have escalated several cases for Zoho Analytics. In one instance, we needed a specific chart type that wasn't available in Zoho Analytics, unlike Power BI where new charts can be added. After multiple escalations, they provided a feature to add charts using JavaScript. Additionally, we have escalated the pivot table sorting issue multiple times, but it remains unresolved.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a good product for your end to end BI needs when its all on the cloud."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Zoho Reports makes it easier and quicker for us to create insightful visualisations, and the interactive visualisations can be shared very easily with colleagues and customers, which has made things easier and allowed us to deliver more value to our customers."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"We find Zoho Analytics easy to use, making it very beneficial for our operations."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
 

Cons

"When the source is big and/or the source is Netsuite there are issues."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"Zoho Analytics can improve by offering more options in the reports, as there are situations where the types of reports offered are a little limited, and I would like additional types of reports along with more functions in the SQL for queries."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"The product is expensive."
