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.

Senior Product Analyst at Bureau
Has reduced stakeholder dependency and improved workflow efficiency through advanced dashboard features
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 data visualization feature in Zoho Analytics has indeed helped in decision-making processes, as it is more specific to what kind of metric the company tracks and how they visualize it, facilitating effective visualizations that assist us in making decisions. Zoho Analytics' collaborative features, such as allowing for multiple people to edit or explore the data together, have been beneficial. I was able to generate customized reports for each of the more than 300 people in my team with around 20 plus teams, sharing it with team leads and providing them with pre-filtered data sets or dashboards while maintaining privacy by restricting access to unnecessary data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"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."
"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."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"The main benefit I have seen from working with Apache Superset so far is the speed from discovery and SQL to making charts and dashboards, along with its customizability."
"The artificial intelligence capabilities that Zoho Analytics provides gives customers excellent insights into their business."
"This has given our sales team direct motivation, allowing us to reach new sales milestones."
"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."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"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."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting capabilities."
"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."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"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."
"The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"I would like them to improve the AI capabilities to let it learn more, as the Ask Zia AI chatbots and AI tools that bring automated reports currently do not make sense since the reports aren't any good; most of the time, 90% of the AI-generated reports make no sense for us."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option."
