The BI Survey 19 is based on findings from the world‘s largest and most comprehensive survey of business intelligence end users, conducted from March to June 2019. In total, 3,021 people responded to the survey with 2,477 answering a series of detailed questions about their use of a named product. Altogether, 36 products (or groups of products) are analyzed in detail.

The BI Survey 19 examines user feedback on BI product selection and usage across 34 criteria (KPIs) including business benefits, project success, business value, recommendation, customer satisfaction, customer experience, innovation and competitiveness.

This document contains just a selection of the headline findings for Zoho Analytics. It does not show all the KPI results and focuses mainly on the positive findings.

For more information on the survey, visit The BI Survey website.

Zoho Corporation began life in 1996 as a software company focused on building network manage-ment products called Adventnet, Inc. The compa-ny was renamed in 2009 and now operates three distinct divisions including Zoho, which is focused on developing and selling a suite of business ap-plications. Zoho Corporation has never accepted venture capital investment, remains privately held and is led by co-founder and CEO Sridhar Vembu.

Headquartered in Chennai, India, Zoho currently has two other offices in India as well as sites in the United States (two offices), China, Mexico, Australia, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, Japan and Singapore. The company employs around 8,000 people.

Across its suite of over 45 business applications - which includes solutions for CRM, project ma-nagement, book keeping, human resource ma-nagement, analytics, marketing, support – Zoho claims to have 50 million users worldwide, repre-senting a 100 percent increase within the last 2 years.

Zoho Analytics is the BI component of the Zoho business suite, and was first released in 2009. The software targets business users. Ease of use is a key selling point of the product, which employs an intuitive drag-and-drop interface so users can ea-sily adapt to it. Moreover, Zoho recently released a smart AI assistant called Zia, which adds natural language processing and machine learning capa-bilities to Zoho Analytics.

Zoho Analytics was built for the cloud and is hosted in Zoho-owned data centers in the United States, Europe, India, Australia and China. Recent-ly, the vendor introduced an on-premises version of Zoho Analytics, which can also be run on AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. The product can be embedded too, to provide self-service analytics in other applications.

Zoho Analytics is a self-service BI and analytics solution which targets business users with a drag-and-drop user interface. It is mostly used for standard/enterprise reporting and dashboard creation, as reported by 90 percent of respondents. Two years ago, only 63 percent were using Zoho for dashboards. In the meantime, Zoho has invested in its dashboarding capabilities so this level of growth is very encouraging. 77 percent of the Zoho users surveyed perform ad hoc queries using the product. In line with the current market trend, 66 percent of users also plan to use Zoho for advanced analytics in the future.

Zoho Analytics is used in companies of varying sizes. However more than half of the respondents to this year’s survey came from small companies. The median number of users is 12, which is quite low. However, the mean of 171 indicates that the solution is also used in many mid-sized scenarios.

Peer Groups and KPIs The BI Survey 19 features a range of different types of BI tools so we use peer groups to help identify competing products. The groups are es-sential to allow fair and useful comparisons of products that are likely to compete.

The peer groups have been defined by BARC analysts using their experience and judgment, with segmentation based on two key factors:

1. Usage scenario - functional peer groups are mainly data-driven and based on how customers say they use the product.

2. Regional focus - is the vendor a lar-ge international vendor with a truly global presence or does it focus on a particular region? We also take into account the location of BI Survey re-spondents.

Zoho Analytics features in the following peer groups:

• Dashboarding-focused products

• Ad hoc reporting-focused products

• EMEA-focused vendors

• Americas-focused vendors

• Embedded analytics-focused pro-ducts

Large global enterprise BI platformsIncludes products equipped with functionality for enterprise deployments that focus on a broad range of BI use cases.Dashboarding-focused productsIncludes products that focus on creating advan-ced and highly sophisticated dashboards.Ad hoc reporting-focused productsIncludes products that focus on self-service repor-ting and ad hoc analysis.OLAP analysis-focused productsIncludes products that focus on analysis in dimen-sional and hierarchical data models.Data discovery-focused productsIncludes products that focus on visual data disco-very and advanced data visualization.Integrated performance management productsIncludes products that provide integrated functio-nality for BI and performance management, espe-cially planning and budgeting.Large international BI vendorsIncludes products from companies with annual re-venues of $200m+ and a truly international reach.EMEA-focused vendorsIncludes products from vendors that have a sig-nificant presence in - and focus on - the EMEA re-gion.Americas-focused vendorsIncludes products from vendors that have a sig-nificant presence in - and focus on - the Americas region.Embedded analytics-focused products Includes reporting and analytics products that can be embedded in other business applications.

The BI Survey 19 provides the reader with well-designed KPI dashboards packed with con-cise information, which can be absorbed at a glance. The KPIs all follow these simple rules:

• Only measures that have a clear good/bad trend are used as the ba-sis for KPIs.

• KPIs may be based on one or more measures from The BI Survey.

• Only products with samples of at least 20 - 30 (depending on the KPI) for each of the questions that feed into the KPI are included.

• For quantitative data, KPIs are con-verted to a scale of 1 to 10 (worst to best).

• A linear min-max transformation is applied, which preserves the order of, and the relative distance bet-ween, products‘ scores.

The terms ‘top-ranked’ and ‘leader’ are used in the following KPI chart titles. ‘Top-ranked’ indi-cates first position. ‘Leader’ usually denotes a position in the top 25-30% of products listed in the chart.

Project success – Leader

Peer group: Ad hoc reporting-focused products

Zoho Analytics customers are very satisfied with their implementation projects, rating all aspects of their projects very highly. To measure project success, we asked users to give five different ratings: user satisfaction with the implementation of the technical and business aspects of the product, sa-tisfaction of administrators with the technical implementation, completion within the time frame ori-ginally specified and completion within budget. Completion within the time frame originally specified attracted the best ratings, which is in line with Zoho Analytics’ short median implementation time.

Zoho Analytics’ median implementation time is the shortest of all the products featured in The BI Survey 19. Customers reported that it typically takes just one month to implement the product. Inte-restingly, our BI Survey results show a correlation between implementation time and the frequency of problems occuring post implementation: the shorter the time frame, the fewer problems custo-mers reported. This tallies with feedback on Zoho Analytics: an impressive 59 percent of customers claim to experience no significant problems with the product. To help customers achieve such short implementation times, the vendor supplies predefined content for specific data sources with auto-mation mechanisms that create reports based on connected data.

Fast implementation time and a high level of project success lead to high ratings for Zoho in the ag-gregated ‘Business value’ KPI.

This underlines Zoho’s strength for providing its business software customers with analytical power. Predefined content linked to customers’ needs is complemented by ad hoc oriented query capabilities in data, which provide customers with the insights they require. One customer sums it up as follows: “perfect solution for exploring data from Zoho Desk and [Zoho] CRM”. Zoho Analytics ranks as a leader in the ‘Embedded analytics-focused products’, ‘Dashboarding-focused products’ and ‘Ad hoc reporting-focused products’ peer groups for the ‘Business value’ KPI.

This is almost double The BI Survey average of 43 percent for all products this year. The vendor has a very open pricing policy which can be viewed on its website. Besides offering a free trial version of the software, various packages are available for different customer scenarios. Enterprises can choose between basic, standard, premium and enterprise pricing plans. Additional storage space (in millions of rows) and users can be purchased too.

Flexibility is becoming an increasingly im-portant purchasing reason for BI software buyers. This year it was the most common-ly cited buying reason in The BI Survey. 50 percent of Zoho Analytics respondents chose the software for its flexibility, com-pared to the overall BI Survey average of 42 percent. Not a single Zoho Analytics user named flexibility among the five most significant problems encountered while using the product. This feedback helps Zoho Analytics to a leading placement in the ‘Embedded analytics-focused products’ and ‘Ad hoc reporting-focused products’ peer groups. The solution’s ad hoc nature provides business users with the flexibility they need to analyze data.

57 percent of Zoho Analytics customers chose to buy the product due to its ease of use for report designers. The vendor puts a strong emphasis on providing business users with a user-friendly so-lution that supports them with dashboarding and analysis capabilities. A quick comparison with the survey average of 34 percent indicates that this plan has worked out. Only a handful of the custo-mers responding to the survey found Zoho Analytics difficult to use – way below average. This leads to top-rankings in the ‘Embedded analytics-focused products’ and ‘Dashboarding-focused products’ peer groups and second place in its remaining peer groups.

Zoho not only sells its software to end users – who still represent the majority of its customer base – but it also serves other software companies with Zoho Analytics as an embedded BI solution. In both cases, Zoho Analytics can be used to display data within applications. Zoho supports the embedding of single iFrames in other web applications as well as the white-labeling of the software to fulfill the individual needs of customers. Zoho Analytics is used more often for embedding than most of its rivals in the ‘EMEA-focused vendors’ peer group.

Embedded BI

Zoho Analytics ranks as one of the leading Dashboarding-focused products in terms of query performance speed. The product not only delivers satisfactory overall performance but is also able to query data within the time frames expected by users. Zoho Analytics targets business users, a group that is not always easy to satisfy in terms of performance. When naming their requirements of a BI software, business users tend to put performance near or at the top of their wishlists. We also regularly see the impression of performant and non-performant applications changing over time as users become increasingly impatient.

Zoho Analytics is among the leaders in all of its peer groups in the ‘Cloud BI’ KPI. This feedback is in line with the product’s original deployment method. Zoho Analytics was built, like Zoho’s other products, to be run in cloud environments, and the vendor hosts a large user base in its data cen-ters. Consequently, most Zoho Analytics customers run the software in the cloud. However, to meet the needs of all customers and to address companies that are more reserved about moving their BI to the cloud, the vendor recently introduced an on-premises deployment option. Today, customers have the choice between using the software on-premises or in the cloud.

Zoho Analytics scores highly in all of its peer groups in the ‘Mobile BI KPI and has improved its standing in the ‘EMEA-focused vendors’ peer group this year. This shows that a good proportion of Zoho Analytics customers use the software to display information on mobile devices. To improve the mobile experience, Zoho recently introduced a new mobile offering which supports device-specific gestures and usage patterns. We may therefore see Zoho’s rating in this KPI improve in the future. As many customers claim to have improved operational efficiency by using Zoho Analytics, the software may have been used to support operational staff by providing current information within business processes.
