A Zoho Analytics alternative for groups whose data lives in more than one suite.
Zoho Analytics is a natural choice for companies inside the Zoho suite. Teams look further when the ERP, the point of sale and the databases behind them are not Zoho products, when the data must stay on their own servers, or when the reporting has to cover several companies with different rules for who sees what.

Where Zoho Analytics users usually feel the limit.
Data outside one suite
Klayara connects live to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and the databases behind SAP Business One, Odoo and Business Central, and brings Zoho Books, Tally, NetSuite and spreadsheets in on a schedule — all on one dashboard.
Your own servers
Klayara runs in our cloud, in the cloud region you choose, or entirely on your own servers, including offline, with no call-home.
One rule, everywhere
Row and column permissions are set once per person or team and hold in every dashboard, download, scheduled report, embed and AI answer.
Built for you
No analyst? Our BI developers connect the systems and build the dashboards, then hand them over.

Who should stay on Zoho Analytics.
If Klayara is not the right fit, we say so. These teams are usually better served where they are.
- Teams whose analysts already have deep skills in it and whose reports are finished — a working tool is not a reason to migrate.
- Companies whose systems are all Zoho products and whose reporting lives comfortably inside the suite.
Who chooses Klayara instead.
The cases where the difference is not a feature but a way of working.
- Groups that need one dashboard across several companies or branches with each reader limited to their own rows
- Companies that want the data to stay on their own servers or in the cloud region they choose
- Teams with no analyst that want the first dashboards built for them and handed over
- Businesses that read in Arabic and English on the same day
Zoho Analytics alternative questions, answered.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly — a person answers.
Can Klayara still read our Zoho Books data?
Yes. Zoho Books invoices, bills, payments and contacts come in on a schedule and sit next to your other systems on one dashboard.
Does Klayara connect live or copy the data?
You choose per table. Connect live and nothing is copied; import when you want extra speed on very large tables. Both can sit on the same dashboard.
Can we keep the data in our country?
Yes. Run Klayara on your own servers or in the cloud region you choose, and nothing leaves that environment.
How is Klayara priced?
One price per user on your plan, or a done-for-you service. See the plans, then talk to us for a quote.
