Companies have shifted from using Power BI to Zing Data after realizing the unmatched speed advantage Zing has. For a common task such as connecting data sources , Zing outperforms Power BI - clocking in at 1 minute and 48 seconds as compared to a whole 6 minutes (that’s 3.3 times faster!).
Just take a look at this video for a side-by-side comparison.
Zing is cloud-based so we automatically scale resources up or down based on demand to ensure fast performance. While Power BI’s web version is cloud-based, it has limited functionality compared to its desktop version which runs locally.
In Power BI, after connecting a data source, you have to:
These are very manual steps which are time-consuming and require technical expertise.
With Zing, all you have to do is connect your data source and start asking questions.
Zing allows you to analyze data easily using natural language. Simply type in a question in the search bar. Relevant field names will also pop up as you’re typing to help you complete your question!
This eliminates the need for SQL (there’s a SQL editor if you’d like to use it), making analysis quick and effortless.
We optimize queries through content-aware aggregations, applying window functions and optimizing the order of filters and joins. These ensure that queries run as efficiently as possible, reducing processing time and improving overall performance.
Zing’s typeahead search suggests relevant fields to help you find the right filters easily to complete your question. You can even add a field from another table as you’re creating a chart.
Complex joins and calculations can also be done automatically without you having to manually create those queries and definitions.
Cross-platform accessibility: Ask questions and analyze data from anywhere, be it iOS, Android, or a web browser.
Real-time alerts: Set up real-time alerts to stay updated on critical changes. Alerts can be set up to be checked as often as every minute!
Natural language summary answers: Zing provides natural language summaries of data queries, making it easy for you to understand results from complex data.
