  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
