Pros
"This has improved our organization by allowing people to see their data and develop visualizations themselves.""I am impressed with the tool's scheduling mechanism, refresh mechanism, and different types of charts.""I find it favorable regarding speed of development, ease of building, and flexibility.""Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like.""The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues.""Valuable features include advanced integrated analysis and easy implementation.""The ability to integrate with a great variety of data sources.""The ability to design complex data models and equations."

"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.""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.""It's a very strong analytics tool.""The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs.""The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function.""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.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform.""We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."

Cons
"There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""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.""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 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.""In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA.""There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."

  • "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."

  • "I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
  • "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."
  • "This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
  • "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."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
