Likelihood to Recommend The entire deployment and configuration stage was easy and it was accessible across the organization in a matter of days. Oracle Analytics Server being a cloud-based solution helped right from Input of Bulk Data to Info preparation, Data cleaning, and finally Data Modeling. Everything was visual and the Help Wizard was very intuitive.
Read full review If you've got multiple applications to pull data from, Zoho Analytics is key. As soon as you get beyond hundreds, and into thousands of rows, I'd say you need a tool like Zoho Analytics. We've used it to analyze millions of rows and the engine seems to work well. If you've been able to utilize Excel to create visualizations, you'll find Zoho Analytics to be much more user friendly, in my opinion
Read full review Pros Oracle helps with easy customization of reports. It helps with the creation of dashboards and the integration of different data sources. Oracle BI was a package used for multiple users across our organization - publishing and distributing reports was a breeze. Read full review It gives a single unified view everyday for our sales team to look at to track their progress and the progress of their peers in achieving the targets It helps Account Executives to analyse their sales pipeline and find out the score for each deal and any high potential deal that is not getting enough attention Some of our consultants have built very powerful stories on how and what impacts sales using storyboards and they are well understood by senior leadership Read full review Cons More AI but with human back up. Less mumbo jumbo so even IT guys/gals can more easily work. More statistics (math) and orientation for those not familiar with it. More live as well as virtual (live) show casing of real situations in business. Read full review Viewers are provided as "add-ons", this should be basic part of the package. Activity logs of every events is important for audit purpose. it should have been provided with every version. More generics and custom reports support. should be extensible Better aspects of Mobile views, UI/UX in small devices.

In the future, if we go with Hyperion for the Financial Consolidation and planning purposes -BI integration with Hyperion is going to be much simpler as it has native interface connectivity and even integration capabilities with well known CRM products (Siebel) and ERP Products (Oracle EBS, Peoplesoft, SAP) is going to be easy and straight forward.

Read full review Reliability and Availability No problems, it's that simple.
Read full review ZOHO is a very reliable company/product. We never had any issues with downtime or inaccessibility to our data. Any type of maintenance that they had to perform was clearly communicated and never an issue. We use a lot of external hooks and we've never had any issues with getting ZOHO to communicate with any of those hooks.
Read full review Performance Other than anomalies or expected quirks, there were never any earth-shattering delays.
Read full review ZOHO has obviously invested a lot of time effort and money in to creating a reliable infrastructure with high availability. We've never had any issues with performance and all of our data crunching small to large has always been well within reason. We have come to appreciate the performance of ZOHO and will continue to use it for all of our data needs.
Read full review Support Rating It's fast, efficient and easy to work with. Scheduling could help when planning out a day however overall it's a big plus when rolling out and supporting Oracle.
Read full review The support team is honestly not that great. At times, it seems as if members of our own team know more about the product than the support team. They must not have a lot of training or the turnaround is quick

Read full review Implementation Rating A properly implemented Endeca solution performs extremely well on the largest of datasets and it positions your organization to immediately achieve your ROI.
Read full review If your external data sources are previously organized and correlated (e.g.: in your datawarehouse or database) your implementation will be easier. Of cource some not previously predicted correlation would be necessary to be done during the implementation, but if your organization let it to be all done into Zoho Analytics, it will take more time from your team.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Oracle BI works pretty well and has been well acknowledged and appreciated by the business users and power users who develop reports and dashboards. Compared to other tools, Oracle BI object development is easier and has a quick turnout. Using Oracle BI with Essbase and Oracle Exadata db, we believe the performance rendering data is quite good. We are using
MicroStrategy as well almost equally, but for critical reporting needs considering the back end is Oracle and Oracle Financial Services Analytical Applications (OFSAA) we have chosen OBIEE.
Read full review We used
Yellowfin for 1 year and it really doesn't compare to Zoho Analytics because it doesn't have the native integration with ManageEngine's tools and the customization is more technical, Zoho Analytics lets you create dashboards automatically, immediately when you connect the data source (no matter if that is a MSSQL database, URL or an XLS file), maybe you will require custom some details in the dashboard, but it's not compared to create it from zero.
Read full review Scalability We have seen the results of this in our initial research and are not surprised that Oracle does this like it does soo many other things in this area, so well.
Read full review I have not really had problems with the operation of the platform; when I accessed it, I managed to do the work in the ideal times. The statistical development responds very quickly to the user’s requirements, and it is easy to extract the data to make the particular combinations that interest the industry.
Read full review Return on Investment We've used OBIEE (or it's previous named product) for over 13 years and it's still the most used tool for BI by the business. We moved our largest business system off of Business Object into OBI so we could gain improved performance, reliability, and easier management of metadata. Read full review The ability to create and refresh a report has helped to reduce over 50% of time required to prepare elaborate MIS on a monthly basis. It helped with analyzing data directly from the CRM and imported historical data at the same time. Read full review ScreenShots Zoho Analytics Screenshots
