Zoho Analytics does a pretty decent job across all aspects. Still, on the dashboard part, Zoho Analytics is really good compared to other BI Analytical tools. It offers a wide range of dashboard options and allows users to customize them based on needs and requirements. On the other hand, for customer reports, it falls a little short.

  • I'm guessing it's out there somewhere but I really could have used a 'quick start guide' or guided start.
  • Once I figured it out, it makes sense how to make sure the right data is provided in order to make dashboards quite flexible--- but without examples, I found it quite a challenge
  • The initial organization of Analytics is NOT intuitive. Once in context, the organizational features make sense, but (at least initially) it would have been most useful if the organization of Analytics reports in Zoho Analytics had saved me a lot of time.

I think Zoho Analytics is excellent for visualizing the data. I don't spend much time preparing the data or creating the charts, graphs, and reports, so I can't discuss that. I do know that our team spends a LOT less time working on the reports now than they used to. Zoho has saved them a great deal of time.

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.

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.

Looker is more of a database. Build your own customization data sets and reporting. At the same time, Looker's forecasting tool seems more accurate. I like Zoho's visual analytics of the data more. Zoho is better for presenting the data to others, while Looker is more raw data, drilling down into the numbers review.

  • Analytics provides a lot of visualization options that I need to serve my customers.
  • Analytics has excellent options for accountability with our training team to know where each account is in their customer journey.
