We performed a comparison between Tableau and Zoho Analytics based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Reporting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Very user friendly."
"It has a shallow learning curve and so you can go to market very, very, very quickly."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"Tableau's visualization features let you present information insights quickly and practically. So it's something which I prefer with Tableau. In terms of reporting, I have to point out the sheer quality and function of the Tableau server, but the first impression is that it's a great visualization tool."
"I consider Tableau to be the best analytical tool available. It's really handy to use and can be used by non-technical people."
"It is very good for data visualization. It has very powerful visualizations and is easy to use."
"I like the solution's web version, more so than Power BI's web version. It just makes it easier to drag and drop things and to blend data on the backend. It simplifies the process."
"The geospatial maps representation and the visualizations are nice."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its dashboard."
"It provides insights into leads, information about the team and about various sales activities. The graphical representations in the form of charts is excellent."
"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."
"Bursting email is needed to deliver the reports to many people in their inboxes and this functionality is not provided by Tableau."
"Some of our clients are looking for better UI when using Tableau as they often work with this solution directly."
"Lacks customization in some areas."
"From a downside perspective, some of the more advanced modeling techniques are actually fairly difficult to do. In addition, I just fundamentally disagree with the way you have to implement them because you can get incorrect answers in some cases."
"We did have issues with Tableau 10.1 server with the brokers failing on heavy load but since moving to 10.2, then to 10.3, this issue seems to have been resolved and the environment is now quite stable."
"I am a BI consultant. I have worked on different reporting tools, such as Power BI and MicroStrategy. As compared to other tools, Tableau lags behind in handling huge enterprise-level data in terms of robust security and the single integrated metadata concept. When we connect to large or very big databases, then performance-wise, I sometimes found Tableau a little bit slow. It can have the single metadata concept like other tools for the reusability of the objects in multiple reports."
"There should be more GIS features, such as location analysis, which is quite limited. There are very few location-based functionalities."
"It should offer better features for customization."
"The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"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."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"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."
"I like the solution's Query Table feature which helps me write SQL queries. We can get data from different tables and then use it to create reports."
