In today's data-driven world, businesses need more than just numbers—they need actionable insights. Zoho Analytics is a powerful business intelligence (BI) and data analytics software that helps companies turn raw data into meaningful visualizations and reports. But while many users explore the basics, several advanced features of Zoho Analytics often go unnoticed—features that could transform how your organization operates.

In this blog, Motviz, your trusted Zoho partner, unveils the most underrated and powerful features of Zoho Analytics that you might be missing out on.

1. AI-Powered Zia Insights

Zia, Zoho’s intelligent assistant, goes beyond dashboards. It provides AI-powered insights by automatically scanning your data and highlighting trends, anomalies, and patterns.

🔹 Ask Zia questions in natural language like “What were our top 5 products last quarter?”🔹 Receive smart suggestions and visualizations instantly.

This feature saves time and enhances decision-making without needing advanced data skills.

2. Data Blending Across Multiple Sources

Many businesses work with data spread across CRMs, ERPs, marketing tools, and spreadsheets. Zoho Analytics allows data blending from various platforms including:

• Zoho CRM

• Google Ads

• HubSpot

• Shopify

• Excel/CSV files

This unified view helps in comprehensive cross-functional analysis that many miss when only connecting one data source.
