"The initial setup is straightforward.""Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show.""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.""Zoho Analytics is the best software for giving reports to customers and we can create any report that is required.""We moved the data from Zoho Creator to Zoho Analytics and created reports.""We use the solution for financial and sales analytics. It brings data from our IT incident management tool.

Cons
"The setup is difficult because you have to install different servers.""Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services needs to improve performance.""There is room for improvement in the pricing model.""It doesn't have quite the flexibility of a Tableau or something like that. Many users are more comfortable with Tableau and I'm not quite sure why that is right now, but it seems to be the case.""I would like the solution to add the scheduling feature for reports.""In this solution, the cost should be reduced for the enterprise edition.""The product should improve its performance.""Sometimes, we need to make sure that the configuration stays consistent across the reporting instances. They all connect to the same database. So, it shares that same backend, but the reporting services itself can also be configured. On the application level, for reporting level. And it is, based on my own experience, it is a manual effort to make sure that the reporting servers are configured the same across the environment."

"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports.""The support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic.""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 solution's tasks and project management tools are weaker than those of its competitors.""This solution does not support manufacturing facilities.""The tool needs to improve analysis and add more features.""I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures.""A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
