Pros

Easy to learn but with enough depth to appeal to more advanced BI users.
Constantly updating and improving the tool.
The parameter and filter functionality is on point. It makes creating enterprise quality reporting a breeze for our team.
The SQL writer is very straight forward and the fact you can write directly in SQL gives Sigma a huge leg up on other BI tools that use their own languages.

Very good bang for the buck, especially if you pre-handle your data before uploading so you're not reliant on the Zoho SQL syntax of raw tables and have fewer, wider rows.
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.

Cons

The user interface had at least one big change in the past two years, which was confusing.
I would like to be able to create and run report on the fly, instead of having to schedule them.
Better navigation using tabs and menus.

Reports was challenging to understand initially and some of their documents were out of date so importing did not work.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

Zoho Analytics in its general functionality is a perfect program, which issues timely reports, after conducting an extensive business data evaluation. Also, the simplicity of Zoho Analytics is a form of attraction, not forgetting that some of the analytical programs even requires some coding, which is not the case with the program

Sigma 8.0

Based on 58 answers

Support team is helpful in answering questions and providing help with using the UI. There are knowledgeable people within the support team.There are also good online support tools. There are significant community support resources available.There is however lack of a live support. It would be useful to have live phone number or chat to use.

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

Alternatives Considered

Sigma [Computing] is the easiest to use. Visualizations and calculations can be created easily without writing code. It's super intuitive and also has nice charts and visuals. Sigma [Computing] also allows users to write their own SQL queries without having to learn another language to create reports. Other BI tools have their language or functions which users must learn before they are able to fully use the tool.

Zoho [Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports)] is a simple and clean tool to use to provide reports that can understand and interpret your data. This allows us to easily establish goals and because it is so easy to use I prefer Zoho vs other providers. There is not a tool out there that is easier or more simple to use at such a great price as well.

Despite the high monthly cost, there has still been positive ROI because it has helped us save time and not have to spend all the time creating the data and charts from scratch for our reports.
Have not had as much success with another BI application, so definitely a positive ROI.
