Zoho Analytics saves time and costs by streamlining data analysis, enhancing decision-making, and eliminating database management needs for $50/month.
The biggest return on investment is the time saving for the customer.
The integration with Zoho People is particularly important because I can access real-time data at any time, including what's happening in the last minute.
After incorporating Zoho Analytics, now all our decisions come from its reviews.
Any time I've integrated customer data using Zoho, I've received great feedback and referrals, and Zoho has gotten me referrals and more customers.

If you need help with any issue you face, you can directly call them.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
QlikView is scalable with proper hardware, though high user counts may require infrastructure enhancements and favor Qlik Sense.
Sentiment score
6.2
Zoho Analytics is scalable and adaptable for small to large companies but may require upgrades and licenses for expansion.
Zoho Analytics can easily adapt to our needs when they grow, and you don't need much knowledge to adapt it; even basic Excel knowledge is sufficient.
You can utilize URL features to redirect users to their records in Zoho CRM or Zoho Desk with just a click.
Zoho Analytics is scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
QlikView is praised for stability and robustness, with some resource intensity issues during heavy data processing but overall reliable.
Sentiment score
7.1
Zoho Analytics is praised for stability, quick bug fixes, and excellent performance, with minimal downtime and few crashes.
A major missing feature compared to Power BI is the ability to create multiple DAX measures or row-level context, which would be useful for showing custom profit and loss statements.
The stability and reliability of Zoho Analytics have been good over time.
The stability and reliability of the product is crucial for optimal performance.
 

Room For Improvement

QlikView's outdated interface, scalability issues, and high costs drive users towards modern tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Qlik Sense.
Zoho Analytics faces challenges with interface, limited tools, support, performance, pricing, and lacks advanced graphics and intuitive navigation.
In QlikView, I believe the improvement that should be made is to bring the costs down, as you'll have to be competitive with Power BI, aiming for at least a 30% reduction to stop the hemorrhaging to Power BI.
The collaborative features of Zoho Analytics have faced one issue: they have tried to reduce the sync time with most Zoho applications, but even with CRM, the sync still takes one hour.
While Power BI uses Power Query, an intuitive and powerful tool that allows data manipulation in any way, Zoho Analytics has limitations.
Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.
 

Setup Cost

QlikView's pricing varies significantly, with high setup and user costs compared to Power BI and SAP Crystal Reports.
Zoho Analytics offers flexible, competitive pricing with monthly fees, appreciated for cost-effectiveness, especially with Zoho One multiple tool use.
The license cost per user or per year for QlikView is about 500 Euros annually.
The annual subscription cost of Zoho Analytics is equivalent to about half of the monthly cost of tools such as Tableau or Power BI.
 

Valuable Features

QlikView offers dynamic dashboards, self-service BI, and rapid data visualization with its Associative Query Logic and user-friendly interface.
Zoho Analytics provides robust features like intuitive reports, AI insights, and seamless integration for efficient data visualization and analysis.
The best features in QlikView are rapid development, the fact that I can do what I want in QlikView, and full control along with ease of use.
The AI called Zia in Zoho Analytics is extremely useful. Whenever I build a chart or dashboard, I can generate a summary of insights using this AI tool, which is very convenient for both leadership and manager level teams to understand the data concepts.
The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities.
These multiple dashboards are available to view in a single place, which is very beneficial.

Featured Reviews

Arjun Meda - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful for data visualization and business intelligence
Many of the features in Qlik Sense need to be available and reintroduced in QlikView. I believe many of the features have been added to QlikView after the layout containers were introduced. QlikView used to be a way more customizable tool than Qlik Sense is in the present time. Improvements are required in the hide and unhide functionality that falls under the layout container feature that has been used in my company in recent times. Hiding off the apps in the app overview tab based on the access was a really good feature that needs to be introduced back in the product since I see that, at the moment, there are multiple groups on the tool, owing to which multiple changes on the QMC part is required to handle the solution. Only the person with access to the dashboard in QlikView could have a link to the dashboard through QlikView's hub or access points. With Qlik Sense, one can see whatever is available in the stream. If a user wants to control everything in the product, then there is no need to make multiple changes in the QMC at the individual app level. The aforementioned area can be considered to improve Qlik Sense.
Nadeem Asghar - PeerSpot reviewer
Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making
I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.
