Importing from MongoDB using Zoho Databridge
Zoho Analytics allows you to import data stored in the Claris MongoDB database using the Zoho Databridge. You can also automate the import process to synchronize the data from your local /hosted MongoDB database into Zoho Analytics in a periodic interval. Report loading time will be faster as the data is stored in Zoho Analytics.
The Zoho Databridge bridges your local & MongoDB database and Zoho Analytics server to fetch data from your local/hosted MongoDB database. With this, you can also automate the import process to synchronize the data from your local/hosted MongoDB database into Zoho Analytics at a periodic interval.
