Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

NetBase Quid

  • Nothing about pricing is published and the review sites carry no plan data either, so you cannot size a budget without entering a sales process, and reported costs put it out of reach of small and mid-sized teams.
  • The two halves of the platform came from separate companies and still feel like separate products, which means the workflow from a social finding to a market-map investigation involves more manual bridging than the marketing implies.
  • The network visualisations are compelling in a demo and demanding in practice; teams without an analyst who understands clustering tend to produce pretty maps they cannot defend in a meeting.
  • Historical social data beyond the contracted window is typically an additional cost, so a retrospective study you did not scope at signing turns into a change order.
  • The rebrand from NetBase Quid to Quid has left documentation, support material and third-party integration listings under a mixture of names, which makes finding accurate current information about the product harder than it should be.

Zoho Analytics

  • The free plan is limited to 2 users, 10,000 rows and 5 workspaces
  • Plans are sold with a minimum user count: Basic starts at 2 users, Standard at 5, Premium at 15 and Enterprise at 50
  • Row capacity is part of the plan, starting at 0.5 million rows on Basic, and additional rows are sold as add-ons
  • Viewer licences are sold in blocks of 25 minimum rather than one at a time
  • Data alerts are capped per plan at 10, 30 and 100 active alerts across the whole account
  • REST API usage is metered in API units per day, from 4,000 per day on the lowest paid tier, with extra units sold separately
  • Logo rebranding and hiding the Powered By Zoho Analytics message on embedded reports are not available on the lower plans
  • Activity logs and cluster analysis are excluded from the lower plans
  • The white label embedded analytics offering has no published price and requires contacting Zoho
  • Local taxes such as VAT and GST are charged on top of the listed prices
