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 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."
"It's very easy, reliable, and trustable because it's an Apache open-source product."
"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."
"When you click on any chart, you can apply the filter without any effort."
"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."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
"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 data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
 

Cons

"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"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."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"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 platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"I have not seen any improvement with Zoho Analytics' AI-driven insights because it has not been accurate."
"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."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"I find it very difficult to handle more than two subqueries or CTE, as I can only have one subquery in the SQL code."

"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset has a three-year licensing model."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"The tool's pricing is similar to other Zoho applications and is affordable."

"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
