At Zoho Analytics, our mission is to democratize analytics for everyone. We recognize that team members across an organization rely on data to make both simple and complex decisions every day. These tasks shouldn’t require ongoing support from IT and data teams, even for basic visualizations.
That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of Zoho Analytics 6.0! This powerful new version brings together business users, data analysts, data engineers, and data scientists on a single platform, making data-driven decision-making easier and more accessible for all. Welcome to a new era of analytics!
Data Connectors and Data Management

These additions cater to big data platforms and business applications, including Yellowbrick, ClickHouse, Dremio, Oracle Netsuite, Databricks, Monday.com, Airtable, Qualtrics, ClickUp, and several others.
Effectively analyze your data from different business applications by using our pre-built reports and dashboards. Additional features in Zoho Analytics like Sync history, Audit History, and Undo Import allow you to manage all data sources, including the connectors.

Visual Analytics
Chart Enhancements
New Chart Types
Zoho Analytics supports 7 new chart types (on top of 50+ existing ones) with extensive customization options to enhance the presentation and interpretation of the data.
-
Sankey charts Sankey charts are ideal for visualizing data flow between nodes and tracking event movement through connected lines. In Zoho Analytics, you can customize node and link colors, adjusting them individually or globally, and set link colors based on source or target nodes. You can choose a basic Sankey chart for simple flows or an Alluvial Chart for complex, multi-stage flows.
-
Racing charts are animated views that are best suited for visualizing the changes in the data over a period of time where the relative ranking of categories is important. They highlight and help comprehend the fluctuations and progression in the data. These types of charts grab the user's attention instantly, providing an immersive experience and helping craft a compelling story about the data.
-
Spark lines are compact charts that show the trends and variations in the data without taking up much space. They are widely used alongside pivot tables and help grasp trends and allow quick comparison of metrics across different fields. Zoho Analytics supports three variations that includes line chart, area chart, and bar chart.
-

-
Sunburst charts represent hierarchical data through a series of rings, or concentric circles. Each ring corresponds to a level in the hierarchy. The central or innermost circle represents the root node, or the top-level category. Moving outwards, each subsequent ring represents a subcategory, where the outermost ring is the leaf node. The size of each arc in the ring is proportional to the value of the data.
-
Conversion bar charts show the connected stages of a process and the gradual decrease in data as it moves through different stages of the process. Each stage is represented by a bar, with a step or stair case pattern indicating the shift in values (along with conversion percentage) at each stage.
