Zoho Analytics is a great product - Room to improve, but great bones.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use analytics for almost every department, but I specifically use it for the customer service department. We use the analytics to determine data points around how healthy our customers are and then use that analysis to decide which ones we need to focus on more. We use the product for all customers nationwide and have visibility for the entire company and team.

Pros

  • Analytics has a lot of customizable dashboard options.

  • Analytics is integrated well with other Zoho systems.

Cons

  • Analytics doesn’t ever seem to pull completely accurate data from other Zoho systems.
  • Analytics can be slightly restrictive regarding access to the general user, preventing some of the fantastic analytics features.

Return on Investment

  • Analytics has been the foundation of my role. I manage 2000 accounts myself, so I need analytics to help me know whom to serve first.
  • 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.

Zoho Analytics saves us time and effort every month. WIN!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Zoho Analytics to visualize our sales monthly for our five-time-a-year magazine. Someone uses the app to create beautiful charts and graphs for us to visualize the end-of-month results and plan for the future. We also have a report created regularly to show how we've done over the last few months. It is updated every month.

Pros

  • Analyzes the data we present to it.
  • Automatically crates' visually pleasing charts and graphs.
  • Handles complex information that give it and spits out reports our boss likes to see.

Cons

  • Customizing the graphs a little more would be helpful.
  • Sometimes the software glitches when we update spreadsheets.
  • Understanding how to perform some functions can be a bit challenging if this is the first time we're doing them.

Return on Investment

  • Zoho Analytics has dramatically impacted the time we spend creating reports. We probably save 20+ hours per month.
  • Due to the tight integration with the rest of the Zoho platform, we don't have to manually import data; it just shows up for us.
  • Having some of these reports in our pocket is great when the owner wants to see something, and we're not in the office. I love the mobile app and the ability to see reports on the phone.
