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."
"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."
"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."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"Personally, I am completely satisfied with Zoho Analytics and it is definitely a product I recommend."
"The AI called Zia in Zoho Analytics is extremely useful—whenever I build a chart or dashboard, I can generate a summary of insights using this AI tool, which is very convenient for both leadership and manager level teams to understand the data concepts."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
"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."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"The major benefit of using Zoho Analytics in our organization is that before implementation, we didn't have any insights or data security and integration capabilities."
"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

"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"I had issues when trying to export and import dashboards; I could not do it on the first attempt."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"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."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting 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."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"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."
"It should have more options for graphics, if it stayed with the quality of graphs of excel, would be great."
"I remember that cleaning up data was a challenge, and on several occasions we had to upload data sets again after making changes in another program."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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."
"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."
