Sigma vs Zoho Analytics Formerly Zoho Reports

• The ability to slice/dice large datasets and join to other datasets in a very intuitive and easy manner. In other tools (e.g. Excel), the performance would be much slower.
• Create dashboards that can contain many different visual aids that link to different datasets created in Sigma. These dashboards look great and perform really well with large datasets. On a performance basis, Sigma performs better than Tableau with large datasets in my experience.
• Ability to load external datasets and join them to existing datasets in Sigma.

• Reasonable assortment of chart types.
• Usable design surface, especially for a fully web based system.
• Reasonably intuitive organization of content types.
• Nice handling of aggregation functions.

• Reports was challenging to understand initially and some of their documents were out of date so importing did not work.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.
