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

"I see savings from using Apache Superset in both time and money, particularly with the cost reduced by roughly 99% compared to Tableau where we previously paid almost 50k annually."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 collaborative features in Zoho Analytics have fostered data-driven decision-making within my team and our customers' teams by enabling seamless communication and shared insights."
"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."
"The data visualization features of Zoho Analytics have helped me improve decision making for my customers, and I could assess the impact of Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights on the strategic initiatives of my customers."
"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."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"The artificial intelligence capabilities that Zoho Analytics provides gives customers excellent insights into their business."
 

Cons

"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."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"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."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
