With Zoho Analytics, we are able to connect all our analytics data like social media handles, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console, and we are able to see that from one single dashboard. It helped us to see the bigger picture (visualization) in one place, and also it's easy to manage. Business decisions like where we stand, respect for other companies, the statistics we can improve upon, and reports to show our c-suite so they can get a picture of their business and how it is performing. It is helping us to feed data from different sources and also helping us to keep them handy in a central place. It also helps us to use that data to present someone (reporting) thanks to its awesome visuals.
  • API
  • Data Visualization
  • Reporting
  • More Templates.
  • More APIS.
It will be awesome if it is able to show us some competitor landscapes so as a company, people can understand what they should work on. Based on the data, it's pretty obvious if we make the right decisions, we can accelerate the weak points; based on the data sources if we can suggest the business pain points that a company can focus on.

We use Zoho Analytics to study different types of data and turn them into easy to understand analytics, which are very customizable and comprehensible. Zoho Analytics allows us to import data from any type of service into the platform and it has been a great ally at helping us understand our marketing and sales data, making it more intuitive for us because we are able to create reports and insights in a few clicks and automatically turn it into different charts or pivot tables which can help us view our data in a more simple and fragmented way. I think that this software covers a great range of data and the process is very automated, and we have been able to save a lot of time using this analytics service because it produces reports in a short time and we have been able to take smarter decisions in different marketing-related projects and create a smart business budget that works well.
  • The wide range of charts available to analyze the data makes this software very attractive and intuitive.
  • It has the ability to collaborate with other team members inside the software and it helps take more insightful decisions around different reports.
  • Zoho Analytics has a lot of variety when it comes to supported files type. I can import different data in different file type and I know that it will be supported by Zoho.
  • The smart assistant tool has been very helpful in generating many reports automatically when needed and it has also been of great help when it comes to forecasting.
  • It definitely has a steep learning curve and it can be quite overwhelming, especially with the lack of proper support and tutorials on how to use the features to get the right results.
  • I would like to see more code-free features because some of the tools require some level of coding experience which makes the experience difficult.
  • There is not much customization available for the query tables.
I think that Zoho Analytics provides a great service for its price as it contains many templates that one can use to analyze big amounts of data. I feel like this software is a great option to visualize data in a simpler way and it helps you have a more in-depth understanding of your data by breaking it down into these visually stunning insights and dashboards, and if you use other Zoho tools, I think that it becomes very beneficial to add Zoho Analytics to your plan because it makes the process easier and more convenient.

We review our key performance indicators within the Zoho Analytics space. We currently use data from both Zoho & outside sources.
  • Flexible
  • Ease of use compared to other data visualization tools.
  • Allows further access to the current Zoho Suite.
  • Doesn't push back into Zoho modules.
  • Visualization options are limited compared to competitors.
  • ETL options aren't as advanced as competitors (Power BI for example).
If you are a Zoho One customer, Zoho Analytics is a very cost-effective solution to compile core metrics. For someone working outside of the Zoho Suite, there are other options such as Microsoft PowerBI that provide a more robust overall experience.

Zoho Analytics has allowed my team to tap into the data of our Service Desk Plus Cloud environment to build our metrics dashboards, in order to review resource utilization. Unfortunately, the box KPIs Service Desk Plus Cloud offers were limiting our scope of this analysis. It was a seamless process to test out and enable Zoho Analytics in our environment. I look forward to new features and the incorporation of Zoho Survey into the built-in data sources.
  • easy report scheduling
  • normalizing data
  • visual representations
  • integration into Zoho Survey
  • additional Service Desk Plus Cloud attributes
  • calculated fields
Zoho Analytics has given us the ability to access data from our instance of Service Desk Plus Cloud that ManageEngine does not provide from their out-of-the-box reporting feature. This information is essential to managing our support teams that work within the Service Desk Plus Cloud system. Although it does not expose all data points from the application and building calculated data points can be quite cumbersome.

Our business is a marketing, sales, operations, and installation business. We have 11 departments and all need to share data to create a single source of truth. We had data in Zoho CRM for our marketing and sales teams, and we also had data in Zoho Projects for our Operations and Installations team. By utilizing Zoho Analytics we were able to merge the data together into a single platform by using data syncing. With all the information contained within Analytics, we are able to report and visualize the front and back halves of the business model. Doing so allows us to gain deep insights into all the milestones of a customer's journey. We have been able to make smarter business decisions as a result of the information Zoho Analytics has provided which has to lead to our company making the INC 5000 list 2 years in a row.
  • Allowing various types of data visualizations
  • Creating reports and dashboards that can be easily shared and accessible online
  • Deliver scheduled reports via email to various email groups
  • Sync with 3rd party software, such as Google Drive, to pull in data tables
  • With so many folders in Reports, it would be nice to have a collapse all folders option
  • A trouble tickets tracker would be helpful to keep up with various case numbers in a central place
  • The support can be difficult to get a hold of at times for real time assistance
Well Suited:- Visualizing data into dashboards - Delivering reports to end-users at a pre-scheduled time, such as the end of day reports- Creating slideshows for TV displays Not Suited:- Real-time data updates (earliest automated sync is 3 hours, unless otherwise manually fetched)- Editing source data from integrated tables as it mainly displays data that is provided from external sources

We use Zoho Analytics primarily to query data for Zoho Desk and do reports that fall outside of the built-in Zoho Desk reporting. We have been recently utilizing it to do more complex charts showing the types of helpdesk calls that we are getting and to break down the top problems to submit to the product managers.
  • The built in AI (Zia) can often give you a quick report just by using English words.
  • The ability to include data sources from multiple silos helps produce reports with the big picture
  • Default reports/dashboards give a wide range of information without having to customize.
  • I am confused about some of the filtering dropdowns and why almost duplicate reports act differently for the filters.
  • The publishing of reports seems a little confusing in the area of allowing access if you are authenticated to the Zoho Desk.
If you use other Zoho products, Analytics is a must to get as much data out of those systems. While they have built-in reports, they have some limitations on the number of records you can export and such. Analytics removes those barriers. We have not attempted to pull in any non-Zoho databases so I am not sure how well that works yet.

We are using Zoho Analytics to collect data and analytics from our company, as well as other companies, to know how the market is doing in real-time. What I like most about this software is the live connection of external data and pixel reports and its customizable dashboards, to tailor it to our brand.
  • This software allows us to print the report in pdf format, which makes it easy for us to view and share the reports with clients and partners, without problems and file incompatibility.
  • It also allows uploading files from various sources such as Excel, Oracle, text files such as CSV, HTML, etc., as well as receiving and sending data from the cloud or local database, for the creation of reports.
  • It allows for the publication of the reports made on the company's website, blogs, and applications so that everyone can be informed of the data and analysis.
  • Can be intimidating software, especially for people who don't have a lot of coding knowledge, so it takes some time to learn.
  • I would like to see more help desk support or instructional tutorials to better guide us in the use of the software.
  • I would also like them to present templates to create reports more automatically and quickly.
We highly recommend this software, because it has helped us a lot to grow the company and make the right decisions, based on the data obtained and the accurate reports that the software allows us to make. It will be of great help to companies of all sizes, as it will help them to grow much more.

It is widely used for data visualization purposes but we have generated data tables as well. The graphical user interface (GUI) helps in creating both tables and dashboards very easy and simple. The AI engine also helpful which creates a structure of the dashboard in a minute obviously the entire skeleton cannot be used as it is but one can always modify those to suit fit the requirement.
  • Dashboards
  • Data tables
  • Merging files
  • Validation
  • Limitation on data refresh frequency
  • Challenges in merging data sets
  • When the data gets refresh regularly, adding manual entries becomes challenging
Best suited for the dashboard creation but other tasks such as validation and report generation sometimes become tricky.

Zoho Analytics enabled me to prospect better by providing details and scoops about the company I wanted to approach for my B2B sales prospecting. It provides information and details about the targeted companies and people who are being targeted. These insights can be used for accelerating the leads. The job of prospecting is not an easy one and any tool which eases it is most welcomed.
  • Sales insights
  • Shows sales contact details
  • Show Contacts interests
  • Shows targeted companies insights
  • Information validity
  • Historical information removal
  • Targeted lead contact accuracy
Zoho Analytics suits the users who are looking for a bit of a mass-market outreach. Once you go into the targeted reach out prospecting then the issue of lack of accurate information kicks in. In order to get better detail and insights, we have to get into other sites on the internet and dig in.

  • Lack of help with coding for query tables
  • Automatic triggers when a widget is lower than a certain threshold

We are a product-based company and we capture a lot of data points from our customers and record all the data in the Zoho. It helps us to get the graphical representation of customer acquisitions, engagement points, and a lot more. This tool helps us to take a lot of decisions by providing details regarding the source of the acquisition, platform, and country of the customer.
  • Perfect dashboards with insightful data
  • Easy to integrate with the app
  • Easy to create customized reports
  • Easy navigation
  • Easy data capturing and image based visualisation
  • Heatmaps for the mobile and Web UI
  • Easy tutorials to understand specific features

Zoho Analytics is must required tool for a product company. This tool is easy to use and has good value for money as it has very good data features. This product has helped our product team to read user behavior, value prepositions, and business growth parameters. We are lucky that with the help of the analysis feature we could early identify things and added the necessary features to make the product better.

We are using Zoho analytics to manage all of our data and to make the reports for each client and its basic implementation in our company is to determine sales strategies and coordination among our departments.I alam also utilizing it to make sales strategies and prospection of strategies. It has helped us in decision-making for our business by processing the analysis of data to find out if we have missed any opportunity.
  • A helping tool to organize the data.
  • CRM synchronization is pretty good.
  • Reporting has become quite easier.
  • A lot of customization options.
  • Automation of reports makes it a great helping hand.
  • The setup of the tool is a bit difficult.
  • Setting the tool for initial use is much difficult.
  • Formula configuration looks messy at times.
Zoho Analytics is very much convenient for almost all sales organizations as well as for the companies related to Information Technology as well as it has the capability to synchronize data from CRM. It is a multitasking tool that helps in saving time by working on multiple data and reports at the same time. Custom reporting dashboards of Zoho are a good way to track the data.

Traditional IT Operation tools capture alerts from all the Infrastructure and then build Reports and Dashboards. This is one of the critical components in an organization NOC. Likewise, several other tools capture different metrics, which leads to several different reports, quite difficult to manage. Henceforth, we utilize advanced and simple to use "Zoho Analytics" to mitigate these shortcomings, centralize our reporting and dashboards from a unified platform.
  • Faster search result within Dashboard and/or reports , thanks to the AI
  • Easy to build Business charts, options to select different metrics, meaningful end-result
  • Capability to share our analysis of data with remote employees, in just few clicks
  • Our organization as well varied partners we worked with, they like the simplicity to navigate and build reports, dashboards at a shorter pace. This excludes operation cost and faster analysis of availability, the performance of KPIs. So far, we are yet to see any features that might feel challenging. Overall product support is very prompt and updates as well roadmap are notified to customers, very transparent.
Long gone are the days when a dedicated Database admin is sought after to collate and build in-house scripts to consolidate data from different sources. Not to mention, each Application with its own Database presents a unique challenge. There are a wide variety of connectors available out-of-box within Zoho Analytics, which can be utilized for making a prompt connection with different files, databases as well Business Apps, to build amazing Dashboards and reports with meaningful data. At the same, custom connectors and REST API options are available to further exploit the advanced capabilities of Zoho Analytics.

Allows me to bring together multiple data sources into a nice visual data layer
  • data source api
  • formulas
  • compile multiple accounts from sources
  • visual data layer
  • deluge - more help & templates
  • ability to look at multiple sources by date - tying date together is harder than it needs to be.
  • Compiling multiple accounts from same data sources - deluge could be easier
Data captured inside zoho is great in analytics.
Lots of other sources can be used well, getting them all to talk to each other is possible, but takes a knowledge in deluge or ability to hire someone with knowledge to work around more complex issues.

Zoho analytics is a complete data analysis and visualization tool. You can create views , dashboards, query tables etc. it syncs with most of your Zoho applications and other database applications as well. The auto sync feature is very good which definitely helps in automating KPI calculations. It also provided various options to share your reports.
  • Basic Dashboard preparation
  • Pivot table
  • Report sharing
  • Data sync
  • Some UI element’s for dashboard needs to be added
  • Window query in query writing (sql)
  • User permissions management
Zoho analytics is a very good tool if you are using complete or most of Zoho business suit applications already. It makes very easy to sync data between those. It is great tool for basic analysis if you have limited data. Few hundred thousands should be fine. If you are looking for cheap alternative for visualization tools like Tableau, Zoho analytics is very good option.

We utilize Zoho Analytics to better understand our lead, organization, and sales data. While each has its own analytics that can be tracked separately, bringing the data together is what Zoho Analytics is best for.
  • Imports data from multiple external data sources
  • view data in a visually appealing manner
  • compare various datapoints from different sources.
  • Syncing issues with external sources
  • ability to compare data by date
Zoho Analytics is great if you are using Zoho CRM. If you are not using Zoho CRM, I'm not sure if Zoho analytics is the best tool to use. We use (and need data from), Facebook Ads, Google Ads, CRM lead data, CRM sales data. If you can figure out how to link the data from various sources, Zoho analytics is great for comparing it. In our case, we used things like lead source and geographic data from our CRM to tie it to the other data sources. To use google ads as an example: If you were just using google ads analytics you would see [spending] to 'conversion'. 'conversion' in googles case is a lead. When you combine this data with Zoho analytics, you can see [spending] to 'sale'. Sale is using CRM data to see the date and amount of the sale. Allowing you to better utilize your lead spend.o further than things like the analytics offered by google ads. You can see sales by google We have tried Google Data Studio previously, and this might be better for non-Zoho CRM users.

We currently pair this with our Zoho Desk product to deep dive into tickets from various departments.
  • Filters our specific data point.
  • Helps us make real time decisions.
  • Makes the data more shareable to non IT people using dashboards.
  • There's a learning curve - can be challenging compared to some competitors.
  • Formula editing or customization can be troublesome.

Great standalone intelligence product with pretty good data visualization options - just be prepared for a steep learning curve.

We use Zoho to review enterprise request and support tickets from business and IT partners. The analytics derived from the reports is used to improve processes, steer decisions, and deliver continual service improvements. The IT organization would be ill equipped and unable to respond quickly to business needs without the ability to visualize work.
  • Reports.
  • Graphics.
  • Email schedule.
  • Better integration with ZOHO ServiceDesk Plus.
  • Removal of data import delay (<15min).
  • More flexibility in report building.
Well suited: when a large amount of data needs to be reviewed and presented in a graphical UI and shared with a large audience. Ability to drill-down to specific data as needed. Multitude of different graphs to visualize data to fit a need.

Less appropriate: when there is a low amount of data it is hard to produce valuable reports. The import delay can cause issues when providing insight to an IT/business process.

Zoho Analytics is used by my business to offer a wide range of reporting and data insights. One example is a customer needed a bespoke weekly recurring doorstep delivery solution, the scope of the business sat outside a subscription platform or regular e-commerce platform. Using Zoho Analytics and I's deep integration with other Zoho platforms I was able to build and deploy a system that runs their production, packing and delivery from a central location.

Zoho Analytics is currently being used in my organization's sales and event planning departments. My organization uses the software to assist in measuring business analytics on each of our client's respective events. We are able to use this software for forecasting processes and to create cost-effective solutions.
  • User-friendly interface.
  • Ease of use with setting up data feeds.
  • Wide variety of ways to view data and reports.
  • Initial setup is lengthy.
  • Editing data on reports is a bit difficult and the addition of more tools could alleviate this.
  • Sharing reports tends to be difficult.
Zoho Analytics has been a wonderful addition for our organization. It has proven to be cost efficient when working with clients on their events. Being able to pull trend reports and forecast information has truly allowed my organization to become a leader in our field. This is the type of software that makes an organization a leader in their industry.

Zoho reports are used by our Sales division to pull out reports. It helps to give a visual representation of sales figures, which were previously only seen as numbers. It gives us an understanding of who our major distributors are and what their product mix consists of. This gives us an idea of what segment we should emphasize and helps in product development.
  • The AI feature (ZIA) is a major strength as I see it.
  • Various types of graphical representation, including the tunnel graph.
  • Works seamlessly with most databases.
  • Dashboard feels a little too cramped.
  • Dashboard alignments feel a little off.
  • Query joining has a limitation of 5.
Our ERP solution did not have a graphical representation of data. Zoho has helped a lot in that regard.

Our team uses Zoho Analytics to manage our data and create reports for our clients, as well as determine our sales strategy and prospecting strategy. It helps us use data to make decisions about our sales and businesses processes by analyzing the data within our sales processes and seeing where we are missing opportunity.
  • Helps to keep data organized.
  • Syncs sales data with our CRM.
  • Makes reporting easier.
  • Easy to use
  • Interface is intuitive
  • Setup can be a little difficult.
  • Some settings are difficult to tweak.
  • Customization.
Zoho Reports is well suited for most sales organizations because you can sync sales data from the CRM. You can still use other data and create other reports, but this is our primary use case.

It is an excellent tool to generate reports which can help to analyze and make business decisions. <br>We are using Zoho Analytics to generate reports from Zoho Sprints. We have created multiple reports to track the work progress and the time spent by the team on a specific project. Further, we are using it internally to create tickets and requests.
  • Integration with Zoho Projects.
  • Generate advanced reports.
  • I am not able to see any room for improvement. I found all the options I was looking for.
Zoho Analytics is perfect [for integrating] with project management systems and generate advanced reports. For the time being, I am not able to find any situation where I felt this tool [was] less appropriate. I found all the options which are required to generate reports, and we can [make the] right decisions accordingly.
