Analogous, correctly used, should include a notion of analogy, that is, of similarity in some particular respects: The Commission has set up guidelines for defense attorneys that are analogous to those for prosecutors. It is better to avoid it when the comparison is only general and when more straightforward words like similar, equivalent, comparable, or corresponding serve just as well, as in The new system is comparable [not analogous] to that used in the electronics industry.
