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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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. This is the tool that we use every morning to monitor our growth.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 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.
