Qlik Analytics Platform vs. Zoho Analytics

If you want to setup analytics dashboards for reporting or simple data analysis then Qlik is your tool of choice.

Complex data structures are handled well, but you’ll need to keep de amount of data on the low side. Integration with other software is possible and easy.

Zoho Analytics is the best way to consume data created by Zoho products . It's robust and quick build formula libraries and auto generated reports. A data source can be integrated and be ready for consumption within minutes. This gives a well developed baseline for organizing to develop advance analytics. It's mobile dashboards are very intuitive and useful for leaders who are on the move.

• It's flexible in allowing the development of fully-fledged analysis tools and dashboards, but also smaller "widgets" to embed in our websites to bring stories to life, and enables us to develop things once and then re-use them in different contexts.
• The development platform and management console are both easy to use, and, with proper data development by our expert developers, can be used by relatively junior colleagues to produce great-looking and very useful products.
• The way the platform handles a mix of data sources from different APIs and internal data stores is good.
• We like the visualizations and from a corporate perspective find it easy to develop one-size-fits-all visualizations that present a wide range of data items well in a responsive way.

• Zoho Analytics’ predictive analytics capabilities can help forecast future trends, allowing for proactive planning and risk management.
• Performance Monitoring: We can track key performance indicators (KPIs) across departments, such as sales, marketing, finance, and HR. This aids in identifying bottlenecks and areas for improvement.
• Decision making regarding resource allocation.

• The learning curve could be less steap
• Very big sets of data are harder to process with the alike software
• There could be a better role based setup posibilities

• I'm guessing it's out there somewhere but I really could have used a 'quick start guide' or guided start.
• Once I figured it out, it makes sense how to make sure the right data is provided in order to make dashboards quite flexible--- but without examples, I found it quite a challenge
• The initial organization of Analytics is NOT intuitive. Once in context, the organizational features make sense, but (at least initially) it would have been most useful if the organization of Analytics reports in Zoho Analytics had saved me a lot of time.

Usefulness: I find Zoho Analytics highly useful for our data analysis needs. Its features, such as data visualization, reporting capabilities, and integration options, greatly aid our business and analytical processes. Ease of Use: The platform is user-friendly and intuitive, making it accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise. Reliability: We trust Zoho Analytics to deliver consistent and reliable performance. The platform's stability and uptime contribute positively to our overall experience.

For an end user, Zoho Analytics is pretty easy to use and very easy to access the dashboard. Linking data from multiple sources is very convenient. Multiple people can work on preparing and publishing the dashboards simultaneously, which helps delegate tasks.

ZOHO is a very reliable company/product. We never had any issues with downtime or inaccessibility to our data. Any type of maintenance that they had to perform was clearly communicated and never an issue. We use a lot of external hooks and we've never had any issues with getting ZOHO to communicate with any of those hooks.

ZOHO has obviously invested a lot of time effort and money in to creating a reliable infrastructure with high availability. We've never had any issues with performance and all of our data crunching small to large has always been well within reason. We have come to appreciate the performance of ZOHO and will continue to use it for all of our data needs.

Qlik is great for companies with lots of business domains and departments because it scales well, especially if data that is reported is saved in SQL and similar structures. Its ease of use and good UI enables business units to create and manage their own reports. That removes a great burden of creating and managing/modifying these pages from the IT team. Overall, it's a win-win for both IT and business units.

The support team is honestly not that great. At times, it seems as if members of our own team know more about the product than the support team. They must not have a lot of training or the turnaround is quick

If your external data sources are previously organized and correlated (e.g.: in your datawarehouse or database) your implementation will be easier. Of cource some not previously predicted correlation would be necessary to be done during the implementation, but if your organization let it to be all done into Zoho Analytics, it will take more time from your team.

They are all good tools, each having their own pros and cons. Qlik Analytics Platform was easy to set up, more than affordable, and has a good user base. Though not as large as some of the other tools, it is growing every day and for the price, it is very hard to beat. I would recommend it. Microsoft Power BI is a little more intuitive to some users, many of them engineers, because of its similarities to Excel. I do like that it follows a similar structure to Excel but I think that it also has the same old-school GUI, which could be improved on. I prefer the way Qlik Analytics Platform's visualizations look because they appear more modern and smooth rather than rigid.

Zoho Analytics has the best UI and user friendly to create reports and dashboard along with features like Zia Assistance that guide in creating reports and dashboard and also help in the forecasting of the data based on the past records.

The system appears to handle large data volumes from different platforms and present the information in a standard format. While the information is helpful, the insight and analytics are very interesting and provide a return on investment. The next part is how the users use that data insight to make decisions.

• Simplification and adaptability of analyzes according to the type of user
• Integration with data sources and direct via rest API, allows for simplification in modeling
• Need for a lot of specific knowledge of the instrument and the range of products in order to best meet the needs

• Zoho Analytics has dramatically impacted the time we spend creating reports. We probably save 20+ hours per month.
• Due to the tight integration with the rest of the Zoho platform, we don't have to manually import data; it just shows up for us.
• Having some of these reports in our pocket is great when the owner wants to see something, and we're not in the office. I love the mobile app and the ability to see reports on the phone.
