Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The dynamic selections on the screen and details by function are also valuable for inside the data view.""The benefits are getting the data in one spot, the ability to report dynamically, and version control.""Instead of taking two people a week each month to perform our internal KPI reporting, the same two people can have it done in a day.""We can build reports super fast.​""Now, we have only one version of the truth.""I think it's flexible. I chose this solution because, even though it wasn't out-of-the-box, you can customize it, and the long-term growth potential of the software is where I see the value.""Our clients have improved a lot in terms of coordination and communication. This has improved their internal performance.""What is very valuable is the ability to customize. We didn't see a solution out there that really matched exactly what our functional requirements would be. So we were able to work with New Brain, our integrator, and we were able to build from the ground up what we wanted, and I think that's pretty unique to BOARD."

"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.""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 integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs.""Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required.""Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform.""It's a very strong analytics tool.""We really like that it's user friendly and has a lot of combinations and charts. They're good compared to other tools. We used a free Elastic product, comparatively, this solution is good because of their support, UI, and connecting to databases is very easy.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports."

Cons
"The engine of the Board should be made powerful like the engine of IBM planning which is more powerful in terms of performance. The consolidated finance area also needs improvement.""​My analysts have used the technical support. Sometimes they have felt like they did not receive the answer that they needed, or you have to go and upgrade in order to address a problem. ​""We would like to see better logging in the procedural world.""I would like to see better relationships with the partners.""It can have more functionality for narrative reporting. They should also improve their training courses, which are currently very lightweight. When you get into more complex things, it is quite difficult to figure out what you're supposed to do, and you have to look at a lot of videos before you actually understand, which is a bit frustrating. Their training can be more comprehensive.""We can't delete entities and cubes in Boards because it interrupts our whole data model.""It would be nice to see truly transferable processes from model to model, as well as a method of building repetitive processes.""​We are looking for ways to distinguish zeros versus nulls in BOARD."

More Board Cons →

"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times.""A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved.""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.""There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics.""The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support.""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 solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors.""The navigation on the interface is not intuitive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Find a partner who will take responsibility for the implementation, and be available for support."

  • "I would recommend looking at your usage and whether the Zoho One license model would work for your organisation. It is very cost effective if you use other Zoho tools."
  • "An exact ROI is hard to calculate. However, we have definitely made sales that would have been much harder, or unlikely, as a result of the speed with which we were able to prepare comprehensive analysis."
  • "I don't feel that price is an issue for this product."
  • "It is very reasonable, and it gives me a good return on investment. Compared to other tools, it is the best choice in terms of pricing."
  • "This solution is reasonable as far as pricing is concerned."
  • "The price is high. The solution advertises that it provides products for 55 AED per user, but these products contain only the basic features. Most of the features are locked. The version of the product that includes Zoho Analytics costs around 199 AED per user per month."
  • "For one license the pricing is about $35 a user."
  • "Zoho Analytics costs $ 4,200 per month, billed yearly."
