Expanded Data Preparation and Modeling Capabilities in Zoho Analytics

Since launch, the integration of Zoho DataPrep within Zoho Analytics, has significantly enhanced the ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) capabilities. This integration allows users to connect, clean, transform, and enrich their data effortlessly—all from within Zoho Analytics.
Building on this, the release of Zoho Analytics 6.0 in September 2024 introduced even more advanced data modeling and preparation capabilities by fully integrating the latest enhancements of Zoho DataPrep within Zoho Analytics.

Key Features of Zoho DataPrep

  • Automated & Scheduled Workflows – Ensure continuous data readiness.

Data Processing Capacity

Integrated Zoho DataPrep feature usage will be measured based on the total number of rows processed per month. Each plan within Zoho Analytics offers inbuilt processing capacity.

Plan based processing limits:

These new integrated DataPrep capabilities make Zoho Analytics a more powerful and scalable platform, empowering users with advanced tools for seamless data management and analysis.
