Amazon QuickSight vs Zoho Analytics

Likelihood to Recommend

I'm likely to recommend it because it would become so native if other cloud services are based on AWS infrastructure, like our current setup. It is very seamlessly integrated with other services to feed in data for the visualization. In addition, supporting a reasonably large number of users concurrently is not an issue and should be able to scale horizontally as needed.

It's very helpful for small companies with a limited budget to perform some data analysis and visualization. It's probably super helpful if you are tied into the Zoho ecosphere for your other business applications, although we are not in that position. It's also great that Zoho requires no on-prem installed component, for people without access to IT support and limited rights to install applications. Because you will eventually run into charting limitations, if you have high expectations and IT support, however, many people are going to be happier with Tableau from the point of view of options. Please note that my ratings are based on the Basic plan, so there are features Zoho has that I will not rate because, at this level, they are too limited to be practical

Pros

Lightweight and serverless BI tool that can be used for niche dashboards.
Its integration into other AWS Services is one of its most appealing features.
The low monthly cost is another benefit.

One small but important feature that I like is that I can show dates by ISO week, this is very helpful for multi-year reporting within a business that works and speaks by ISO week.
Zoho Reports is a good tool to use for data reporting from Zoho Projects. Very useful if you are already in the Zoho ecosystem.
We use this tool to provide reports to leadership and review team goals. This is very helpful for users who do not use Zoho Projects but want information on day-to-day operations and goal setting.

Cons

One of the primary challenges I've had with Amazon QuickSight so far is that some of the reports I want to build use data from different data sets. Instead of being able to put all of the information I want to see into one report.
Some of our Amazon QuickSight reports only update every 24 hours. It would be great to see that data in real-time.
I would remove the various time zones from Amazon QuickSight and only use the time zone we are in.

Reports was challenging to understand initially and some of their documents were out of date so importing did not work.
It would be nice if the importing instructions were a little more clear for the layman as not all businesses can have an IT department or the like to set up software like this.
Due to insufficient descriptions, it can be unclear as to what a report is describing or displaying to you.

Seemed easy to use from the start to now and doesn't require specific skills to learn how to use.For example, I've got only a vague knowledge of MYSQL but could set up data exchanges myself without problem by using procedures that can be found on the Zoho website.

We only needed support services once or twice but they were fast and professional. Tips given "in-app" and procedures you can find on the internet are useful too.

Alternatives Considered

In our case, we are storing our large amount of data in the cloud so using QuickSight adds up to the performance of the reporting. We are using it as a secondary reporting tool so that a business user can generate their own report. We are using Tableau as our primary reporting tool.

Very powerful charts and graphs that are much easier to use than Excel. It's like a pivot table combined with a chart. I love the ability to dynamically change the charts just by turning data sets on and off in order to drill down and analyze individual data sets without having to create dozens of new charts.
