I think perhaps you're misunderstanding what ANALYZE does. Did that
vendor specifically tell you to disable ANALYZE? Unless they're
doing some analysis of the distribution of data and creating their
own statistics (remotely possible but highly unusual), the
statistics generated by ANALYZE will be required to allow the
queries they've written to execute efficiently.
