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

"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."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"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."
"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."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"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."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"What I appreciate most about Apache Superset is its text search feature, including searching with small and capital letters."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"Customer Service: Excellent. the support team have been very helpful, on one occasion even writing a particularly complex query for me, Technical Support: Excellent"
"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."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"What I like the most is the flexibility of creating dashboards."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
 

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."
"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."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting capabilities."
"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."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"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."
"The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
"The support team doesn't have full awareness of the system capabilities."
"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 hourly pricing needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 product's licensing is reasonable."
"I rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"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."
"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."
