"We evaluated many tools. Most others did not qualify our criteria or they did not provide the kind of features we were looking for (e.g. embedding, scheduled emails, re-branding). Zoho Analytics has a comprehensive set of features and the best part is that these features don't cost us zillions of dollars. We chose Zoho Analytics over Tableau because it comes with a better-tiered pricing model."
Kapil PendseCTO & Product Manager, KAI Square."We considered Tableau, Power BI, and Looker. Zoho Analytics was better than these products for a company of our size, cost-effective and gets the job done as you want. One of the most prominent features that turned us to use Zoho was their NoSQL support. Apart from this everything worked on SQL which was easily used by our business and tech people."
María Fernanda CruzCoordinator, Hold Marketing"While building our reports, we were able to pick up the phone and talk to a tech support person immediately to help us with SQL and other issues we had. The result - we were up and running in just a few days. Compared to Tableau which wanted to charge us to build our reports and then required a per-user license fee - Zoho Analytics is super affordable and easy to get up and going with."
