Zoho Analytics vs Logi Symphony

Zoho Analytics is a BI and data analytics software platform that helps users visually analyze data, create visualizations and get a deeper understanding of raw data. It helps users generate dynamic, highly customizable and actionable reports and allows integration with multiple platforms for achieving greater insights. Its multifaceted and customizable dashboards can enhance the user experience. However, many reviewers have reported that the user-interface can be confusing to use with the many options and features available. Also, it has a steep learning curve, and non-technical users might find it difficult to use in the beginning. Overall, it is a user-friendly platform that enables effortless data handling.

Logi Symphony is a web-based business intelligence solution that connects to a range of data sources, both on-premise and in-cloud, to source and optimize business-specific data. Users who reviewed its functionality praised the solution for its out-of-the-box features and extensibility to create tailored business solutions. With a vast library of visualizations, the platform allows users to create scalable and interactive dashboards to power data-driven decisions. Though it offers multiple graphs and charting options, some users who mentioned visualization said that the tool needs better integration with advanced charts, maps and D3, among others. Around 78% of users who reviewed reporting said that they found it easy to create and share impactful reports with stakeholders, though some users reported that generating reports in PDF format was difficult. The tool is intuitive and easy to use, though users who reviewed its data preparation capabilities said that it requires programming skills to manage more complex visualizations. The solution is not without its limitations though. Of users who reviewed its functionality, some said that the complexity of the tool can be overwhelming and some updates have resulted in broken features, requiring script rewrite. Around 62% of users who reviewed training said that that help documentation is lacking in best practices and use case samples for complicated data reporting scenarios. There were numerous complaints from users that the vendor’s apparent focus on introducing new add-ons translate into extra costs for them, while the core product — Logi Info — seems to have plateaued as far as new features and improvements go. Though SaaS-based businesses might find the pricing model workable, the platform can be cost prohibitive for many users due to rising licensing costs. In summary, Logi Symphony is an excellent platform to create a high-end website or application, with powerful descriptive and predictive analytics, superior embeddability and big data integrations.
