Cost effective with great capability, performance, flexibility and visuals
In general, we're happy with the solution but we're always looking to see what else is out there. The thing we've struggled with is our partnership with Tagetik UK, the consultants, and the issue we had gaining access to consultants to develop the solution on our behalf. Thankfully we connected directly with XLCubed and now have a pretty close and good relationship with them so the earlier problem we had of actually getting resources to help us develop has now been solved. One of the things that we've been asking for and would like as an additional feature is a sort of benchmarking functionality. The ability to be able to benchmark, directly against the company digital corporate numbers. That said, there seems to be improved functionality within the latest release that could help us develop that further.

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.

Pros

"Great capability, performance, flexibility, visuals, and the solution is also very cost effective."
"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."
"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."
"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."
"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."
"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."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."

Cons

"Would like the ability to be able to benchmark."
"There should be a better or an easier way to establish that connection to external sources."
"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 platform's 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."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."

"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."
