Yellowfinの評判・口コミ 全66件

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?

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?

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?

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?

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.

What do you like best?

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?

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?

After a version update in a costumer we observed that some of the created content stopped working in the new version. Fortunately, we achieved to solve the issue with the YF support team.

What do you like best?

What I like best is the easy to use GUI and that it has evolved to maintain the focus on ease of use. It is usual to end with a nice looking result without making a lot of effort.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you use something like the Gartner Magic Quadrant to guide your decisions have a look at niche players or even newcomers. When we started with YF they were not featured in the MQ, however it exceeded our expectations from the first day. Finally, download the trial and have a look at their demo data, it is very useful to have a grasp about how it works and what it can do.

What do you dislike?

I would love to have whole dashboard print, like a cockpit, this way the business users can easily print 1 page for managerial reporting.

What do you like best?

I like how Yellowfin evolves fast to fill the gaps in their visualization coverage and I like how easy to administrate and customize the interface.

What do you dislike?

I used to be sad that support tickets had to wait until the next days because of the time difference from Australia to the US, but now that they have a stateside support team I have very little to complain about. Their support team is top notch and always willing to work on any issues we might have, or enhancements that we might need/want.

What do you like best?

I love how Yellowfin is easily adoptable for both business users (grad and drop reporting) and developers (javascript charts in 7.3+). Yellowfin has grown to a level where customization or white-labeling is not an issue, and the experience just keeps getting better with the newer versions. Having the ability to create any, and I mean any, type of visualization is key.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Consider this offering first on the quality of support you will receive. Second, consider this offering based on it's ease of use and flexibility. You won't find a more adoptable product out there for the average business user.
