Overall Satisfaction with Zoho Analytics

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).
  • At no additional cost from our current Zoho One bundle, we are able to unify KPI reports.
  • Sharing lightweight customer data cost effectively has become easier.
  • Overall ease of use has allowed us to push reporting capabilities down to all areas of the company.
Generally pretty simple user interface. Once you get past the initial learning curve of understanding your Zoho Data, making simple canned reports, or modifying pre-built reports is quite simple.
We have yet to find an outside dataset that doesn't integrate within Zoho Analytics. We are a largely AWS shop and it integrates with the database sets that we use.
Not nearly as robust or full function as PowerBI, but is lightweight and more cost effective.

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.
