MP
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.

Has improved HR insights through seamless data integration and real-time reporting
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

"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."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"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."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"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."
"The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
 

Cons

"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"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."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Areas of Apache Superset that could be improved include enhancing the data visualization features and addressing the overall data sourcing limitations, such as the 800 kilobyte limit per query that sometimes restricts our analysis, especially if we need to access data from many years back."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"The scalability of Apache Superset has been one of the challenges for us. We deployed it onto a bigger machine because as the users grew, we experienced a delay in data retrieval."
"I had issues when trying to export and import dashboards; I could not do it on the first attempt."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."
"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."
"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."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"I would appreciate enhanced features in Zoho Analytics that offer greater customization options."
"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."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"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."
 

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 is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"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."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
