Zoho Analytics is really helpful in automating custom reports for my team and help me keep track of inventory, collection, billing and sales at my company on the regular basis. We have automated multiple custom reports and receive them over email everyday. Custom query builder is really intuitive and new reports can easily be created, scheduled and modified by using the conversational interface available. Mobile version of the app help me manage my reporting needs on the go. Overall, great experience. Must recommended for SME's who wants to run data driven operation within their company.
Pros
Custom report building
Conversation interface for building query
Easy scheduling of multiple reports over email
Cons
Easy edit of the standard reports available on books and inventory.
Custom report suggestion by industry business function - like e-commerce, BFSI specific reports

We use Zoho Reports to visualize data in a way that is easy to spot trends, track progress and manage our operations. We create dashboards that can be shared internally or externally with our trading partners to track performance. At this point, it is only being used across supply chain operations but will soon be rolled out to other departments. It's helping us solve visibility challenges in our organization.
Pros
Ability to quickly see how functions are trending
Drill down into a narrow data set based on what you're looking at
Apply filters to one report can become relevant to many people by allowing them to apply filters
Cons
The visuals are not as aesthetically nice as others in the market
They need to add chat support like they have for Zoho Creator
Make it easier to build combo graphs
Likelihood to Recommend
Zoho Reports is very well suited to companies who need a cost-effective way to visualize their data and create dashboards at function or department level. It isn't as aesthetically pleasing as others in the market but you do have some (limited) flexibility to change graph and background colors. I would recommend this as a mostly internal facing tool. If you want something to present to clients etc, you might want to go with one of the other options in the marketplace, but you'll pay substantially more for pretty much the same functionality.
