I like that it is user friendly, drag and drop feature makes it easy to run ad hoc reports. Love the line item detail and notes feature in the templates.

Great experience for me. We have a dedicated business systems resource on our team who helps a lot.

The ability to integrate reports directly with system data pulls is a very nice feature that can help reduce the complexity of workbooks.

I like the functionality of the program and ease of use.

It makes month end easier. Great customer service team always there when help is needed.

Collaboration can also be difficult, as the individual models are fragile and must be updated online.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Once set it is good and there are no worries.

Upload of transactional data allows for greater degree of self-service research of budget variances on the part of budget owners.

The interface is pretty dated. I also mainly use chrome as my browser and there seems to be a lag time when scrolling in a template which is a bit of a pain.

I like being able to quickly and easily navigate to what I need. I like the user interface and options given upon login.

Host Analytics has greatly improved our team's capability to quickly consolidate & close each month.

Getting benefits in terms of financial analysis and setting up consistent reporting standards.

I dont like that to complete certificaiton, all users have to attend real life class.

I originally got into Host for budgeting and it has been great for that, but I have found it great for many other things. I also love the way it can grow with me.

It can be difficult to set up a report template. Not all the modules have the same reporting tools.

Good planning tool that integrates well with excel.

Customer service is second to none. In my 30+ years in planning and analysis, I have never found a team so dedicated to ensuring their customer's success.

I was never able to go live. Never got any value out of it and they made me pay for 2 years.

It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and allows our team to quickly consolidate, close and provide detailed financial reports each month.

The inability to do calculations in the report without creating a new template. Also as we are on Macs the inability to use spotlight in Mac Excel.

The planning tool helped us standardize our budgeting process and we're very impressed with the workforce planning module that helped us easily managing our headcount and compensation estimate.

We love the ease and flexibility of the tool. The monthly releases mean that the product is constantly making improvements.

A data pull is not immediate and can cause some frustration if data is not pulled 100% accurately the first time.

Our planning process runs more smoothly and efficiently again with less errors. We are able to consolidate our plans quicker.

OVerall is a great tool for the ease of standardizing and managing  our reports.

Look and Feel of Reports is good from viewing perspective. Configuring Reports is easy for most reports.

Powerful analytics, enterprise features, with a learning curve.

Whether you need simple website data, PPC ad data, or data from your remote database, Zoho Analytics can do it. And I love how beautiful the reports are.

Number of users is limited for various slabs. Limitation on number of email addresses while scheduling reports is restricted which makes report sharing cumbersome with larger groups.

Additionally, Zoho has a great support team that allows for timely resolution of issues and questions. Zoho is relatively new product, so features & updates are being released somewhat regularly.

I think it's good value for money and with the scheduled imports it is quite low maintenance.

We have realized many benefits by being able to use Zoho Analytics to help us gain a better understanding of data analysis within our organization.

The learning curve is a bit heavy at first, but it's worth the time invested.

There are many great options on the dashboard, but again, the functions are complicated to learn and apply.

The Zoho One suite is such a good bang for its buck. Integrates fairly well, especially within the Zoho Suite.

It is very easy to implement and can create a relational database with ease. When it comes to CRM, it is one of the tools which offers the best customer service.

Great BI solution, and becomes Excellent within Zoho One.

It's a very powerful tool with a LOT  of integrations for data bases, very easy to use and great value for money.

Extremely intuitive and excellent customer support.

Generating reports is made super easy with their intuitive UI and excellent data integration. I also thoroughly enjoy the reporting options.

Simplicity, ease of use, integration with Zoho Books.

The UI is not very intuitive, and very clustered which makes it hard to use. Hard to understand why things were not working the way they were expected to.

The tool is highly customizable and can integrate with most every database. The service from Zoho is AMAZING.

Easy to set up reports from the CRM and good support.

Fantastic product, especially within the Zoho One suite.

Overall a brief experience so far but I know I have help and support if ever I need it. Very easy to use so far.

I love the dashboards and the visual representation of the data we have. Being able to drill in to the data from the charts is also great.

I love how easy it is to get started and with all the amazing features packed in this software, the pricing is more than reasonable.

Beware - Zoho Preys on Smaller Companies with Weak IT Controls.
