Zoho Analytics (previously Zoho Reports)

We are Zoho users and generated reports within each separate app provides us good business insights. However, when we really want to dig deep or generate dashboards to include say sales information next to marketing analytics next to financial kpi's we can do this easily and attractively using Zoho Analytics. It's an awesome app!

Pros

Zoho Analytics is awesome. The different types of reports that you can create with data from almost anywhere make this a very powerful app. It's fairly easy to drag and drop the data you need into the report, and then choose form many different styles of reports.

Cons

Sometimes it seems like you need to have a coding background to make sure you have your reports set up the right way. I would say 4 out of 5 reports we produce are fairly basic and are simple to configure. That 1 out of 5 where we may try to pull data from more than 1 source and really dig deep with filters and what have you can sometimes be tricky. Like anything though with a little patience and experience it becomes easier.

great experience in visualizing complex data

Pros

SUPER easy to use even with SQL server remotely

Cons

Pricing policy. Too expensive for big data volumes (per row price). Too expensive to share with users (per user price).

Overall it has been a good experience working on the software as lot of time is saved in generating reports and taking business decisions. The option to create endless customized reports is also a very useful feature.

Pros

The software is easy to use and can be customized as per requirement. Lot of options to create different reports, charts and tables. The drill down feature is really helpful which gives the insight into the actual issue and can drill down deep, even into the data base to ensure its accuracy. Our organization uses the software for all top and medium level meetings to give first hand information on revenue to the top management. Speed at which the reports are generated is also commendable.

Cons

Those who are new to the software would take some time to understand the different options available as there are no Faqs or help menu.

Pros

Compared to Tableau, it seems to me that Zoho Reports is more sales oriented. ZR's interface is clean and maintains a great visual representation of the data it derives. It gets a perfect score from me when it comes to easiness of use, as navigating throughout the application and finding the features and tools I look for is always a smooth experience.

Cons

Like mentioned in the pros section, I feel like Zoho Reports lacks customization options for non sales related data. Would be a great addition if they were to add such features.

Pros

+Great UI
+Easy to syncronice your cloud db
+Multiple options to resume and show data

Cons

-Few options to share reports without login in trial

This software has the potential to be the very best in class but has been let down by some very serious operational back end issues. It is a huge shame as I really do like this product a lot.

Pros

Its very powerful and has tonnes of features, dashboards being my favourite. Great value for money.

Cons

Support & documentation isn't great, the api is not very reliable and has a habit of changing syntax without warning. Also uptime isn't as good as it should be, so am reluctant to recommend to others who need to run business critical services, but it serves us well enough for what need it to do.

Pros

Very robust tool for creating reports. Much easier to use than Excel for generating charts and reports. Very intuitive functions

Cons

Since it is web-based, there are some quirks with going back and correcting things. Some of the tutorials are a little lacking.

Whatever data you have loaded into the zoho system is right at your disposal. The reports have always been functional.

Pros

Zoho Reports is great! You can pull any data needed and manipulate the reports to your liking. The criteria is easy enough to follow along with and the report is generated in seconds.

Cons

There really isn't anything I dislike about the reporting app. It has proven itself to work well in my encounters.

We track numerous items in Zoho, ranging from employee productivity to lead tracking and generation. I can literally pull any report I want and it's done instantly. Love it!

Pros

The reports are so very easy to manipulate. They criteria listing is very straight forward and does not require previous experience to operate. I have never run into an issue with the reports feature.

Cons

Honestly, there isn't much not to like. The reports section works well and is very easy to navigate.

The cloud based excel type features are great for internal and external office collaboration. The dashboards are very customizable. We have been very happy with the ability to collaborate with our teams and the added productivity and time saved has been a blessing.

Pros

The unrestricted possibilities of the Zoho Reports are priceless.

Cons

The cloud-based solution uses a randomizing url, this can cause an issue when creating ACL's through office firewall.

Pros

Today reporting has become one of the important factors as well as an important aspect of the company which affects its ratings. We often talk about various top reporting tools, but we fail to recognize the best ones, Zoho Reports is considered as one of them. One of the reasons why I choose it the most because Zoho Reports integrates seamlessly. It can report in a variety of ways such as charts, graphs, etc. and built with a lot of features like report sharing, mail scheduling which seems to be extremely useful. 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. You know what is interesting, it offers complete online reporting and especially Business Intelligence service which can be accessible anytime and anywhere.

Cons

Although Zoho Reports is the extremely useful app it has some negative aspects also. If you want to use it to the fullest, you must go through the high learning curve. Sometimes, the importer gets unsteady and on the other hand, sometimes you need to generate more and more info to work on some reports. For using slabs, its number of users is limited. It has problems regarding consolidating different entities as well as the implementation of SQL is also not proper. Even its modelled data set is not very helpful as it doesn’t extract 100%. It shows some problems in creating complicated reports. If you ask about API, it’s not good yet!! Some of the problems regarding loading of tables and reports should also be kept in mind!!!!

Pros

the data sync is very easy and simple, and the dashboards are very simple to use too, you can take only 10 mins to understand the functions and create the dashboard for share.

Cons

The free plan is limited for sharing the dashboard but it's sufficient for small business. And the layout of the report is also simple and not much to choose.

Pros

You can upload any kind of tabular data. Supports import of data from a cloud storage system. Several varieties of charts and pivot tables can be employed. You can share your reports with the team and also interact with them. You can attach the reports at your blogs or page to increase its reach. Application simple and easy to use, you can, in fact, create reports without investing a huge effort. The customer service is very responsive, you can keep in touch by just leaving a message in the chat window. It is a very affordable solution for the creation of sophisticated reports with ease. You can personalize your dashboard by using the themes option.

Cons

There is a limit to the number of users who can access the account. You will find the main dashboard to be a little complicated. Hyperlinking features are absent.

Pros

Zoho Reports is the best analytics tool with low monthly cost which suites the pockets of even the starter company. the zoho reports also provide the powerful api to customize the reports as the company needs.

Cons

zoho reports suites the best for all size if the company. and has no negativity marking to the services. has the best customer support tooo

Low cost sophisticated reports that can be created, cloned and edited in rapid fashion. I have used many report writers, some much more powerful however none as easy to use and as cost effective.

Pros

It is very easy to use and can create quite sophisticated reports given the ease and speed of use. It is also very affordable and can scale quite nicely while remaining affordable.

Cons

The requirement to store the reporting data on the Zoho servers can be a little cumbersome and may not be the most secure solution for storing sensitive data. It does what it is intended to do very well and the end results are easy to use for end users and are quite sophisticated however it is not particularly customizable and we have hit a brick wall with it a couple of times.

We can create forms for employees to fill out so we know we are gathering all the info we need before starting a task.

Pros

I like how easy it is to take zoho and create a form for anyone to fill out and to do exactly what I want with it after that. We use zoho to create pdfs of forms people fill in to then add to trello and move forward with.

Cons

It is not as flashy or good looking as I would like. Honestly, this could just be me not knowing how to use it as well as others.

Pros

It helps in creating resourceful reports within a minutes. As it is cloud based you can access it anywhere if you are online. Customizing the reports, mailing and sharing is pretty easy.

Cons

However, for the new user, it takes a little time to understand its usage. Technical support could be better.

Pros

For me, Zoho Reports it is essential a good table design, design tools capable of allowing reports and above all others that allow you to upload and update your data quickly and without excessive formalities and security. I recommend it to all of my colleagues and partners. Honestly, it's so good. It is easy to use, it is available to any type of business, and the ability to import Excel spreadsheets is relatively easy means that you can easily get data from any accounting system that you use, and into Zoho reports.

Cons

Support is great but it would be amazing if they offer help in different languages. The connection with Zoho Desk is only in one direction. It will be interesting the connection in both directions. It means, modifies data in Zoho report and synchronize in Zoho Desk

Pros

many function e powerfull, many chart and drill down data find, good integration with ZoHo CRM data base

Cons

in set-up step and report design the wizard is not easy, there are few examples for design dashboard

Pros

I like the functionality of the reports feature and the friendly use of them. It has allowed me to show my managers that we are making great progress when it comes to bring in more money, providing faster support resolution times to issues, increased communication for sales and support.

Cons

I currently do not have any cons in regards to Zoho Reports at this time. This feature is solid and I can only tell that it is improving by the day. Great Job!
