"It has landing pages, and that makes life easy for exhibiting things."
"Dossiers are going to change the name of the game for us. We want to be able to have the executive committee go into a meeting and tell a story. We want them to tell us a story, not us."
"Building apps is easy. You just drag in your data, and then you drag in all the elements that you want on your app. It's drag and drop design, and then you can customize your visuals. They make it all easy with plug and play widgets."
"We've made it an open BI platform, so that all our business analysts can build their own dashboards and Dossiers."
"The product is very mature. It's quite robust and an excellent enterprise-level solution."
"The most important feature is the way it handles ad hoc queries and provides formatted reports."
"It is scalable and integration-friendly."
"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 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."
"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."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."

"The front end of this solution including the graph generation using SQL has been most useful."
"We had some problems with customer service and support."
"The In-Memory Capability (cubes) needs a lot of improvement."
"It needs row-level security, column-level security, on attributes. I want to be able to handle full-scale security model from the semantic layer, flat out."
"Another feature to consider in the future would be adding some additional offline capabilities without using desktops."
"Our data warehouse is sort of static; negative load and that is it. It is not as real-time as we would like. We are working on building that out first to create more real-time, at which point we will work on some potential integrations with other applications, but I don't think we are there yet."
"Needs more visual essence and connectors for the ecosystems, which would be easy to use."
"The interface you can design in MicroStrategy is great, but I feel it needs to be refreshed, add a bit more functionality. I would like to see more capabilities on the mobile side, to bring it on par with apps that you see in the App Store."
"Native VI on mobile apps and better android support are lacking."
"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 tool needs to improve analysis and add more features."
"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 support for Zoho Analytics is pathetic."
"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."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
