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 solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"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."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"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."
"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."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
"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."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"Zoho Reports makes it easier and quicker for us to create insightful visualisations, and the interactive visualisations can be shared very easily with colleagues and customers, which has made things easier and allowed us to deliver more value to our customers."
"Based on my experience with different customers, Zoho Analytics has positively impacted their organizations."
"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."
"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."
"Customer Service: Excellent. the support team have been very helpful, on one occasion even writing a particularly complex query for me, Technical Support: Excellent"
"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."
"Unlike other data programs, Zoho was fairly intuitive and allowed us to get started on our work with minimal training."
 

Cons

"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"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."
"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."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement 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."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
"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."
"Query builder guidance/steps for beginners who need to write actual queries"
"Regarding stability and reliability, Zoho Analytics has multiple bugs. One significant issue is that you cannot create multiple charts with the same name."
"I would let the users delete and copy as many cells as they want. It is absolutely uncomfortable for me to do it one by one."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Apache Superset is less than some of its competitors."
"Apache Superset is open-source and free."
"Apache Superset is an open-source solution."

"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
"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."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
"The product is expensive."
