Our hands are open to producing diverse reports and data analysis.

It has a great user interface with a genius machine-learning system.

The possibilities are endless with this tool

It seems to me that it is intuitive. However, it would be opportune to set training phases for those who are approaching a tool like this for the first time. It is clear that the platform throws data that, if they are combined, can be exploited according to their business objective. It would be key to be able to compare figures of competitors, standards and basic elements of the movement in social networks.

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.

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.

Oracle Analytics Support team is very proactive and I have never had a situation where I had to wait for more than a day or two to get my issues resolved. This is a very big help for us and we appreciate Oracle and its team for guaranteeing that experience.

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

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.

Better: Easy integration with different systems (internal, such as SAP; or external, such as data coming from tables from your vendors). Many companies use it and it's a good tool to learn. In my case, I learned at P&G and when I moved to Whirlpool I already learned how to use it! And I use it very often in my role. Worse: Well, if I need to do anything beyond a table, line or bar chart, I export the data and use a different tool.

Power BI, Tableau are leaders in data visualization tool industry. They provide extensive features and they are priced accordingly. Excel is still my go to tool for analysis on my local machine but it likes functionalities like Zoho app sync, customizable dashboard and AI powered analytical reports. Our decision of selecting Zoho analytics is based on Existing Zoho business suit, data sync feature, and pricing.

I have used data tables with 10s of thousands of rows. In the age of big data, this is small but it's big for me. I haven't seen issues with the platform as I've increased the number of rows over time so it's hard to say what the upper limits would be.
