"The Ask Zia and Zia Insights features are so cool. I can ask for a specific agent name for their quarterly or monthly performance and get to see if their sales numbers are trending up or down, and from which geographic areas their sales are coming from. I can also dive into why they can't close deals in other areas and try to replicate the successful ones."

Power BI, Microsoft’s data visualization platform, is well-known for its deep integration with Office 365 and Azure. It enables users to create dashboards, model data, and gain insights using familiar Microsoft tools like Excel and Azure services. It’s a good fit for mid-sized to large enterprises already in the Microsoft ecosystem. However, accessing advanced capabilities and scaling across teams often requires additional licensing and premium plans.
Power BI provides a free desktop version. Power BI Pro is priced at $14 per user/month, while Power BI Premium starts at $24 per user/month, or $4,995 per month per capacity for larger-scale deployments.
Tableau is a strong data visualization and analytics platform by Salesforce and is known for its ability to craft compelling data stories through interactive dashboards and broad data connectivity. While it's a powerful tool, getting started often requires technical know-how, making it less beginner-friendly compared to other platforms.
Plans start at $15 per user/month for Viewers, $42 for Explorers, and $75 for Creators. Enterprise pricing depends on deployment options and specific business requirements.
Qlik stands out for its associative data engine and in-memory processing, which help deliver fast, real-time insights.

Qlik pricing starts at $30 per user/month. For enterprise-level needs, pricing is custom and typically provided through a personalized quote.

“We wanted a simple BI solution to analyze our sales, project, and quality data. The tool also needed to be capable of integrating multiple tables, creating models to create charts that could be shared seamlessly across teams."
"With Zoho Analytics, the time spent in creating charts, reports and dashboards went down by 50%. More importantly, our software expenses were reduced by 30%!"
"Our main alternate would have been Power BI, but we quickly found that the pricing and user-friendliness wouldn't quite work for a lot of our customers."
