Overall Satisfaction with Zoho Analytics (formerly Zoho Reports)

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.
  • Visually see what parts of our product customers are calling into support about
  • Quick to limit graphs to just specific staff/teams/product
  • Easy to export and include on internal web page.
It is sometimes hard to judge the ease of use of products like this because to make them great they tend to have to be complex. However, they have done a great job in my mind of allowing users of various skill levels an easy way to report/chart their data.
I have been very surprised at how close an AI-generated graph/report is by just using English words. I have used this numerous times to get started and then tweak it after that fact.

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.
