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.

Smart Features for Efficient Cleaning

  • Smart sampling with four options (Initial, Random, Erroneous, or Column-based) to work efficiently even with massive datasets.
  • Intelligent suggestions that automatically recommend the best fixes for common data problems.
  • Comprehensive transformation library including deduplication, format standardization, empty cell handling, and pattern matching.

Process Management Made Simple

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:
  • Premium Users – Process up to 5 Million Rows per month.
  • Enterprise Users – Process up to 10 Million Rows per month.
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. Whether you're preparing data or building pipelines, Zoho Analytics provides the flexibility and performance needed to drive better decision-making.
