We performed a comparison between SAS Visual Analytics and Zoho Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most solution's notable aspect, in my view, is the ability to integrate various data sources and harness advanced technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. This helps with quality assurance processes."
"It's relatively simple to create basic dashboards and reports."
"Quick deployment to dashboards and analytics features (using SAS Visual Statistics and Enterprise Guide). Easy to create a simple forecast and discover business insights using segmentation tools."
"The technical support services are good."
"The speed to display charts and react to users' choices is great."
"The flexibility of the configuration is valuable to me."
"I believe that the possibilities for exploring data and formulating visual results are quite good because it allows the business analyst to have different perspectives on the data."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"We can create advanced-level reports with the tool. We can get data from different Zoho applications and also from other third-party applications. We can create schedules for syncing data from third parties to Zoho Analytics. We can also use table queries for getting data from more than one table."
"We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool. Hence, we have three business use cases for IT support, sales and financials."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"There are a few little things that are predefined and can be done out of the box immediately. There is no business intelligence application that is predefined, which is something some customers or prospects would love to have. Small and mid-sized companies would struggle with it because they prefer something standard that has been predefined by somebody else."
"There is room for improvement in anti-money laundering prevention and operation monitoring, as well as operation monitoring surveillance."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"In Brazil, there are few documents, courses, and other resources for studying and implementing the tool."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"Better connectivity with other data origins, better visualization, and the ability to create KPIs directly would all help."
"The deployment isn't smooth. Deploying Visual Analytics on the cloud takes a lot of work, or you can use some providers that give you SAS as a service. For example, there is a provider called SaasNow. They host SAS Visual Analytics and the license. You can buy the license and deploy it there without the hassle of installation because deploying the software isn't easy."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"They should provide white labeling with a cheaper option. I know they have a white labeling feature in which I can white label Zoho Analytics with my company theme, logo, and URL, but it seems a little expensive. If they can make it cheaper, it would be great. The same is applicable to Tableau."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"In terms of improvement, they have a limited number of graphs available in their store. They should come up with more graph style forms. They should have more charts and at the same time, you can't create panels like with Microsoft BA."
"The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
