Featured Reviews

Useful for business reports and helps to drill down accounting information
The tool's most valuable feature is table creation. One of the most important capabilities is the supplier assessment reports. These reports provide a balance during transactions, which is crucial for auditing. This feature is not standard in other ERP systems, making it highly valuable. The solution helps to drill down details from sources like payables and inventory, which the accounting department requires.
Yogesh Kumar Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-set up solution that helps in the scheduling of reports and dashboards
A lot of integrations are available with Zoho Analytics. There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics. The data can be in millions. There are some limitations on the reports that depend on the various combinations of data you get. So there is always an error that gets thrown out if you are building complex reports.

"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"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."
"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 data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
 

Cons

"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer needs to improve its performance and HTML reports."
"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 hourly pricing needs improvement."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"This solution does not support manufacturing facilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer is more expensive than its alternatives. You need to pay additional costs for implementation."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
"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 rate the tool's pricing seven out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
