Founder & CEO at Lanzar
Have saved significant operational costs and streamlined alert-driven analytics with customizable dashboards
I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators. We work with a Role-Based Access Control feature in the product. I assess this feature as good; they have permissions which are in more plain English, but there is a little bit of convenience missed out because if I have to create a super user apart from admin, I need to add all the permissions manually.

Data Analyst at Mobolution
Has supported trend analysis and forecasting but needs major fixes in customization and reliability
There are some areas where Zoho Analytics needs improvement compared to Power BI. Uploading and interpreting data inside the interface needs enhancement. While Power BI uses Power Query, an intuitive and powerful tool that allows data manipulation in any way, Zoho Analytics has limitations. I usually prepare data in Excel before uploading it to Zoho Analytics. The charts in Zoho Analytics are not as customizable as in Power BI. While all chart types are available, they can only be modified at a basic level, not an advanced level. Though trend analysis features are provided, creating anything out of the box is challenging.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"The benefits I have seen from using Apache Superset for the business team are that they have been able to look at the numbers easily, log into the portal, and look at different dashboards, which are at different granularities."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"Apache Superset is a lightweight reporting tool with a lot of functions and flexibility, where you can build the dataset, build charts, and dashboards from the user interface."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics' data visualization features have helped me improve decision-making overall by making it easier to draw a story from complex data, backtrack my data, and ensuring accuracy."
"As a product analyst, one of the best features in Zoho Analytics is its ability to allow stakeholders to access raw data for any kind of metric I've created, significantly reducing my dependency to share data sets repeatedly, saving a lot of time."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"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."
"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."
"The benefits I've seen from using Zoho Analytics include saving time; this is the most important benefit for me as I don't need to do my analytics or revisit a report repeatedly every month or according to the frequency of the requirement."
 

Cons

"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"One potential area for improvement in Apache Superset is that it must be installed in a dedicated Docker image, which could be a limitation since the goal is to embed Apache Superset in a product offering."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"I definitely see some disadvantages in Apache Superset, particularly in the tagging feature which is not up to the mark, creating a little bit of mess for the administrators."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
"I would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"I would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."
"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."

"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."

"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
