Graphical learning experience needs improvement but handles large datasets effectively
RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop. It offers excellent customer service and educational resources. KNIME allows for visual data manipulation, with nodes representing operations, making it user-friendly and effective for statistical analysis and predictions. I appreciate its ability to integrate R or Python scripts, combining ease of use with powerful procedures.

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

"RStudio Connect is very powerful statistically and can handle large datasets, even on a free version on a laptop."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"The best feature is that in the same tool, we can use SQL and business intelligence capabilities."
"The collaborative features in Zoho Analytics have fostered data-driven decision-making within my team and our customers' teams by enabling seamless communication and shared insights."
"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 benefits I've seen from using Zoho Analytics include saving time; this is the most important benefit for me as I don't need to do my analytics or revisit a report repeatedly every month or according to the frequency of the requirement."
"The variety of reports, tables, and dashboards that are automatically generated and ready to use are applicable to many different demands, saving a lot of time and allowing the business analyst to focus on content and insights."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"This has given our sales team direct motivation, allowing us to reach new sales milestones."
 

Cons

"I rate my experience with RStudio Connect as average because I am not yet comfortable enough to provide a definitive assessment."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"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."
"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."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The ability to copy a full database is lacking, making it difficult to create test environments."
"I would like them to improve the AI capabilities to let it learn more, as the Ask Zia AI chatbots and AI tools that bring automated reports currently do not make sense since the reports aren't any good; most of the time, 90% of the AI-generated reports make no sense for us."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is okay. It is fair compared to the market."
"I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
"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."
"For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The product's licensing is reasonable."
"This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
