Featured Reviews

DavidMalizia - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Data And Ai at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Data projects have grown rapidly and support complex analytics and quick dashboard delivery
Some things that could be improved in Oracle Analytics Cloud is definitely the way it works. In some cases, for example, if you want to create analytic functions such as the percentage of a measure over another, which is a straightforward question you might ask, it appears simple to do, but the result is not what you expect. I would make it more user-friendly in terms of creating new measures. The measure creation feature could be improved. In terms of functionality, there are not many functions that are completely missing. There is one aspect that if you compare it with Power BI from Microsoft, which works completely in memory and therefore puts everything in memory to allow many calculations on the fly on what is in memory, that is missing, but it is architecturally different and would not be possible to ask for something like that. Some time features and time series analysis functions could be improved. Calculating a year ago and previous period functions could definitely work with some improvement.

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

"A valuable feature is the speed of the solution."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud allowed us to deliver faster analytics and to have a self-secured, self-tuning, self-maintained platform."
"The product is able to compare with other tools on the market; it has everything you need, everything you can find in other tools such as Tableau and Power BI, and additionally, it has history, so you get a robust solution with support."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is not very user-friendly, however, it is robust and capable of performing a wide range of tasks."
"The dashboards, analytics, visualizations, and different reports are valuable for business analytics."
"The ability to quickly search for and access relevant data is crucial."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's most valuable feature is its visualization."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is more refined compared to the on-premises version of OBIEE."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Personally, I am completely satisfied with Zoho Analytics and it is definitely a product I recommend."
"What I appreciate most about Zoho Analytics is the pivot table functionality, as in the pivot table and scheduler table, if we want data in one report, we can use an SQL query and get data from different modules."
"We find Zoho Analytics easy to use, making it very beneficial for our operations."
"We are a hotel chain, there are seven hotels all over the country and Zoho Reports lets us collect important information without traveling or sending big e-mails."
"We track the sales funnel and set up graph charts and bar charts to analyze the number of leads received in the previous month compared to current leads, helping us figure out and analyze which campaigns are performing well."
"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."
 

Cons

"They could improve the ease of developing the dashboard and interacting with it."
"At this time, dataflows cannot be shared, but I think that this should be enhanced."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud is lacking in charts. They should add more charts to it."
"The product should improve its user interface. It should be welcoming and modern. Developers should also find it easier to build data models. Oracle Analytics Cloud needs to have better visualizations and more options in the marketplace."
"It is less scalable than Snowflake."
"We did not have a positive experience with technical support."
"Sharing dataflows is not possible at this time, and the custom chart functionality is not available."
"It is expensive."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"The data visualization features of Zoho Analytics can be improved in terms of decision-making processes. There are many shortcomings in the query language, as it is outdated, and many keywords cannot be used."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"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 hourly pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A highly cost-effective solution"
"I would rate it a five out of five in terms of the value received for the price charge."
"It is an expensive platform."
"I don't know the exact cost, but its pricing was good. Its pricing was competitive. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
"Oracle Analytics Cloud's pricing is generally higher than that of other vendors."
"I rate the product's pricing a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The tool's pricing is not unreasonable or non-competitive."
"We pay on a monthly basis and it is $10 per user each month."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
