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

"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."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"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 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."
"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."
"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 provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"Based on my experience with different customers, Zoho Analytics has positively impacted their organizations."
"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."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"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."
"Its a fast tool to assist companies who do not want to spend on software developments."
"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."
 

Cons

"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"I had issues when trying to export and import dashboards; I could not do it on the first attempt."
"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 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 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."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset needs more rich charting capabilities."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"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."
"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 navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"However we do not like proposed UI changes and find that in general as a vendor Zoho is rather unresponsive to feedback from its customers."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."
