Yellowfin is not widely deployed in North America at this time.

What do you like best?

Fully web-driven with strong metadata capability

What do you dislike?

While yellowfin support is responsive and conscientious in their service they're prone to relying on documentation from older versions of their product and supporting technology that are not current. There were also some hiccups when they converted/upgraded their support site recently.

Yellowfin has comprehensive, leading-edge Data Visualization and analytic capabilities at a fantastic price point. For my firm, we particularly like how well Yellowfin works for cloud solutions and sourcing data from other cloud services via their FOC connectors. We found that we could quickly deploy, scale and provide yellowfin technology for our new Whole-View PaaS offering without headaches from desktop installs, complex licensing or other hidden constraints. Yellowfin the company has proved to be a key partner by responding readily to our needs and showing flexibiility and patience with our firm's requirements.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Yellowfin together with their partners have several options that truly bring down the risk of BI projects. Considering that something like 90% of BI projects fail, I highly recommend starting small and building some success incrementally and then scaling your investment with Yellowfin according to those successes. An analytics program needs to be nurtured to be successful. However, you don't have to spend $100K just to get started.

What do you dislike?

My main dislike with Yellowfin on this project was the some clumsy usability aspects of the View designer. Having said that Yellowfin were very receptive of feedback I provided on how to improve the usability of the view designer. Subsequent minor releases of Yellowfin incrementally improved the View designer. The release of version 7.3 presented a completely rewritten user interface for the view designer that it is now very easy to use.

The Yellowfin feature that led to the success of this project was the "View" - the business metadata layer that sits between the source data and the reports and dashboards.

The source data for this project had significant shortcomings which by itself made it difficult to meet the project's reporting requirements. The Yellowfin view functionality allowed my to apply and easily maintain frequently changing, complex business logic, and enhance the source system data with business rules that allowed for accurate prediction of future capability of the recruitment process.

The Yellowfin views also made it possible for me to present the complex data structure to the recruitment managers and analysts, and workforce planners in a business-friendly format so they could easily write their own ad hoc reports. The business users only required minimal training to become self-sufficient with Yellowfin for report writing and ad hoc data analysis.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Yellowfin is a great business intelligence and analytics platform. It's focus on usability for end-users and the analysts who support them is it greatest strength. I would consider it the best business intelligence and analytics platform I have used in my career.

In addition to having a great product Yellowfin is a great company to work with. They receptive to product feedback and almost always product improvement suggestions I have made have been implemented in future releases. I have even had a couple of cases where minor improvements were implemented in the monthly patch release following me making the suggestions. In my experience very few software vendors are that responsive.

What do you dislike?

A gap in the product is that it doesn't have native R integration, although I understand this is coming later in 2017.

What do you like best?

- Ease of use, UI

- Depth of functionality in embedding and white labeling

- Web-based architecture

- Reporting and dashboarding, especially the geolocation functionality

- Storyboarding

- Flexible subscription licencing

- New built-in trending / forecasting functionality

- Ability to connect to JSON data sources

What do you dislike?

I'm not a fan of web-based develop/design environments. I would much prefer a desktop app where I could develop and design reports with the ability to publish complete reports to the server. That's just me.

What do you like best?

What I like most about Yellowfin is that the focus of the company (and the product) is on facilitating the process of delivering great self-service reporting and dashboards. The vast majority of people in most organisations are not self-service analysts, but 'self-service consumers', and need a supported, guided BI experience.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Take careful stock of how many users will simply USE reports and dashboards rather than create their own. If you have a high ratio of users to developers, you will greatly benefit from Yellowfin's ability to assist you fully supporting and maintaining the suite of tools needed to support a wide variety of users.

What do you dislike?

There are some charting functionalities that I would like to see implemented, which I know are available in some other products, and which some of our data would be suited to.

What do you like best?

We can link to all of our data using Yellowfin, without the requirement to push the data into unwieldy cubes and inappropriate dimensions - this gives us the freedom to do real data discovery with the minimum of IT effort, handing the power to the business user.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Try it out and see how quickly you can create a meaningful report - hours not days or weeks.

What do you dislike?

Calculated fields drag and drop approach easy to use but editor capability would be more flexible.

What do you like best?

Yellowfin's is easy and quicker to work with (install, administer, develop with).

We can create wonderful and powerful visuals.

Yellowfin people and culture are enthusiastic, reliable, friendly and proactive.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Seriously consider. It has been a great decision for us.

If you are considering another then I suggest do a Proof Of Concept of them and Yellowfin and try and cover all items that are important to you including service and support.

What do you dislike?

- Will update this if I find something - so far this product has solved every problem we have been able to think of

What do you like best?

- Built with the user in mind

- Highest adoption rate in the industry...everyone wants to use it

- Beautiful Dashboards

- Simple and effective communication and collaboration tools

What do you dislike?

The one thing I dislike is in the Admin section where you hook up to your data. It could be made to be a bit easier for connecting to the data. While it is a very visual tool, personally, I find it a little bit clunky, but it does produce a nice ER diagram of your data source at the end. To give them credit, they have provided very neat solutions for connecting to data sources like Google Analytics, etc. And they're adding more all the time.

What do you like best?

Price - Yellowfin offers serious bang-for-buck

Collaboration - Yellowfin contains collaborative features found in no other BI tool.

User Interface - This easily has to be the best-looking BI tool out there.

We've seen Yellowfin come a long way in the last few years. In this day and age when business decisions are made by teams, it helps that Yellowfin offers a range of really cool ways to annotate, share, and discuss results found in a very visual manner. One feature is a bit like PowerPoint, but with the ability to drill deeper on information on a slide. Another is a 'Facebook' type interface that allows people to comment on a report. Then, of course, you have mans to annotate a report and share it immediately with someone by email.

I also like that you can deploy on premises or in the Cloud (AWS).

Recommendations to others considering the product

By all means compare it to the others - Tableau, Qlik, PowerBI, etc. but you will find Yellowfin to be a very strong contender. Don't be afraid to talk to Yellowfin if there is any kind of problem.

We sold Yellowfin into a company that was using a web-based LDAP security tool that had a couple of incompatibilities, and so we couldn't achieve a true single sign-on. We spoke to Yellowfin and they spoke to the LDAP vendor and worked out a resolution to the problem in a couple of hours, and delivered a patch to resolve it within two days.

That's what I call Customer Support.
