"We have found the product to be scalable."

"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."

"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."

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."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"It seems that the solution could use more analytics to help users draw more contextual business insights. Right now, you need other solutions for that."

"It should be easier to use when there are multiple system sources."
"The solution could be more customizable and you do not have too much freedom on the code."
"One opportunity for improvement would be on the Power Query side. As a consultant, I know Power Query is not the main strength of Power BI. It is not where Power BI shines, but many customers use Power Query to do full ETL workloads for deliverable cookies."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."

"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"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."
