It's really well suited for organizations with data from multiple sources, especially non-conventional ones like spreadsheets. It might be less appropriate for organizations with much more mature data infrastructures, but I am not sure, because that is not our organization.

Zoho Analytics is well suited to create quick reports and dashboards for daily use, share with your team, or when you need to give a professional look at that presentation. With the data imported into Zoho Analytics, you can create dynamic charts to get quick insights and put them all together in a presentation or dashboard.

Well suited for modern systems definitely, with open architectures which allow you to access data using APIs or the cloud. The more native a system is, the less likely it is that you would be able to connect it to Zoho Analytics.

I'm on the fence currently. There has been nothing (to me) truly spectacular with Zoho Reports to make me rant and rave about it to the first person to ask. It's a tool. The tool works well. Support is good. You will need to purchase it month to month or yearly.

If you've got multiple applications to pull data from, Zoho Analytics is key. As soon as you get beyond hundreds, and into thousands of rows, I'd say you need a tool like Zoho Analytics. We've used it to analyze millions of rows and the engine seems to work well.

If you've been able to utilize Excel to create visualizations, you'll find Zoho Analytics to be much more user friendly, in my opinion.

There are many instance, where we need to identify the linked pages user has visited, we have used the data represented to analyze how the page patterns are looking at the dashboard level. It helps to customize require charts/graphs in the single page.

Zoho Analytics helps to build the custom dashboard in large scale environment

Zoho Analytics is awesome for budget, SLA and availability analysis, I wrote "analysis" not "monitoring" because is not a monitoring tool, all the unavailability detections were made for the monitoring tool (OpManager in my case) and after that, we can analyze the economic impact that they had to our business because of penalties.

Zoho Analytics is not so appropriate if you are looking for a tool that provides you the information in real-time because it needs to synchronize the data every X hours you set, the less is 2 hours.

Overall Zoho ecosytem is all good for new age startups to start and manage the stuff online. Particularly for Zoho Analytics its a good platform for geting detailed insights and working of the company, and with its integrations with other Zoho and third part apps it make it more convenient to interact with customer

  • Well suited for integration of different connectors
  • User experience and UI response are quite good comparatively in most cases.
  • Quick and faster setup of operations, and project management tools. Migration is also easy.
  • Analytics dashboard could be better in terms of update of new data.

Zoho Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports) is well suited for pulling reports for things just as demographics. Our organization also loves the ability to customize the reports to fit our everyday needs that may look different from other organizations. Some challenges include needing specific technical expertise to customize the reports.

Since it is a cloud-based platform, there is no need to worry about infrastructure.
It doesn't require in-depth coding skills so implementing the changes is quick.
Can connect any data, sources, URLs and many more: you can import and create spreadsheets, CSV files, HTML, text files, charts, reports, pivot tables, etc

In terms of value for the money, I think Zoho Analytics is very strong. If you are a small company that wants access to a powerful analysis platform, and need to support multiple users (either employees or clients) then Zoho Analytics is great. If you are using the Zoho One subscription then the value increases even more.

One of the nicest features Zoho offers is its extensive data integration capacity. The main relational databases used by my company's technical divisions are connected to by Zoho Analytics. Aside from the fact that the Zoho analytics mobile app has fewer features than the computer version, I also find the mobile app to be unintuitive and there is a constant tendency for notifications to be delayed.

We had chosen Zoho Analytics as our preferred BI platform due to 2 main reasons:
1. We were already using Zoho CRM and Zoho Analytics integrates well with Zoho CRM and learning curve is not so steep
2. With the cloud version (SaaS), the implementation cost was almost negligible and any smart engineer can deploy it for the entire company (if company size is not huge)
3. It has all the features that we would need

Zoho Analytics is well suited to blend data together from different Zoho apps. For example; we manage part of our business in Zoho CRM and another part within a Zoho Creator app, with both parts referencing the same customer. In Zoho Analytics we are able to combine data from each Zoho app to gain deeper insights about a customer.

Zoho Analytics works well if you are looking to display data from other Zoho applications. My organization used Zoho Analytics to create custom reporting dashboards for time tracking data from Zoho Projects, and it was a great solution. If you’re looking to integrate data from a variety of external sources, you might want to look elsewhere. [In my opinion] Zoho Analytics is not worth the hassle, especially when you could set things up more easily with a tool like Google Data Studio, Tableau or TapClicks.

If you are pulling data from an API, Zoho Reports has to be one of the easiest products to use. Following the quick directions, you can get up and running with pulling in and parsing data in no time. It's also very easy to take that data and then create an easily readable graphic interpretation of your data.

I think analytics and data can help in every scenario. Analytics can be really detailed so there might be times where it may not be as necessary as more simple products. If a company uses Zoho then adding Zoho Analytics will allow for greater ease of use than in comparison to Tableau.

It is suitable for time optimization, planning a whole strategy of presence and dissemination of content on specific days and times. Likewise, it is supremely adequate in the statistical topic that it throws for the analysis of the implemented strategy. You can improve on the theme of publications adapted to the particularities of each network, allow the message to be on screen, and move details of photos and particular accounts of each network.

Custom report creation to track inventory, collection, billing, CRM and sales on the regular basis. Custom query builder is really intuitive and new reports can easily be created, scheduled and modified by using the conversational interface available. Mobile version of the app help me manage my reporting needs on the go. SME's and industry specific reporting would be a great feature to add.

Zoho Analytics is great esp when you don't have an analytics person on your team and need to quickly build your own dashboards.
Zoho Analytics is not so well suited when you have data across different databases and need to connect them all through live connections.
