Expanded Data Preparation and Modeling Capabilities in Zoho Analytics

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

Visual Pipeline Builder

Zoho DataPrep’s enhanced Visual Pipeline Builder streamlines data pipeline creation, enabling users to build, test, and execute workflows in minutes. Key improvements include:
  • Automated & Scheduled Workflows – Ensure continuous data readiness.
  • Optimized Processing & Transformation – Enhance performance and efficiency.
  • Advanced Data Operations – Merge, filter, and aggregate data seamlessly.
With an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, users can effortlessly design and manage complex data workflows.

  • Color-coded bars instantly show valid (green), invalid (red), and missing (gray) data.
  • Interactive charts to identify problematic areas quickly.

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

The workflow tracking features to stay organized:
  • Ruleset management panel to view, edit, or disable any transformation.
  • Clear visualization (Data Flow) of the entire data cleansing journey from import to export.

Why This is Helpful for Users

  • Time-Saving: Automate repetitive data preparation tasks and focus more on analysis.
  • Improved Accuracy: Clean and transform data with precision, ensuring high-quality outputs.
  • Scalability: Handle larger datasets with ease, thanks to the increased processed row limits.
  • Better Insights: Advanced data modeling capabilities allow for more comprehensive and actionable insights.

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.
The processing limits within Zoho Analytics have been set higher, compared to the Standard plan of Zoho DataPrep, enabling users to efficiently manage large datasets with greater flexibility.
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.
