Chief Information Officer and Director, Information Technology Services

Easy to setup (<4 hours), very cost effective for multiple users, easy to connect to any database, great online training and tools to get up to speed, and easy to create reports/tabs/dashboards.

Senior Operations Manager

It is also excellent that clients do not require in-depth training. The integration capacity of Yellowfin with Big Data is excellent.

Cofounder and Partner

Ease of use, with compromising functionality, for administrator as well as users. For us, strong security and multitenancy is important.

Director

We loved the customization of the program, and we could really make it our own. When we did have technical issues, customer support was able to resolve them very quickly.

While the lack of cloud services and coding to customize are minor issues, we do not have much to complain about. It’s very user-friendly and we have easily been able to teach others how to use it.

Software engineer

I really liked Yellowfin BI, no big problems using it so far.

Yellowfin BI    Number one

The VSV team develops reports and dashboards quickly, simply and dynamically. Yellowfin has an easy to use and intuitive user interface (clients do not need deep training). We managed to create reports and panels with maps thanks to location intelligence. In addition, the integration of Yellowfin with predictive analytical tools and Big Data processing such as R, UDF, Spark are ideal for creating rich applications for end users. Yellowfin allows the connection of multiple data sources.

Yellowfin is integrated with predictive and Big Data processing tools.

We really like using Yellowfin. While the lack of cloud services and coding to customize are minor issues, we do not have much to complain about. It’s very user-friendly and we have easily been able to teach others how to use it. The fact that the program is useable on both Mac and PC makes it a great option. The program is certainly worth the cost. 

Easy to use, worth the money.

Dashboard/reports and analytics on a variety of metrics that we're tracking firm-wide or at our clients.

Cost effective tool for graphical analytics 

YellowFin Review

We did not end up implementing this live for our clients but it was a nice software and if our client base was smaller or our software data scheme less complex we would have used this. There was not anything wrong really just was not the correct software for our company.

We attempted to use Yellowfin as a Dashboard backbone software. The system is great but limited.

Dear Ms Gray,
Thank you for your review of Yellowfin, we appreciate your feedback.  We're sorry you did not end up choosing Yellowfin, but happy to hear your positive comments about our analytics tool.
Yellowfin works on a real time connection to its data sources, so you are correct to say it was probably down to how the data was being extracted. We've made some pretty exciting updates to our platform in the last few weeks and creating custom fields or formulas has never been easier.
Good luck with your analytics journey.

I have been using Yellowfin for a few months now and must admit, it is an incredible BI platform.

Having more than 40 of our customers using Yellowifn, mostly embedded we have had great feedback from these customers and a great working relationship with Yellowfin

Yellowfin - great to work with !!

We use Yellowfin to build student performance management dashboards for school districts.  Yellowfin has excellent report development tools and some powerful features (like predictive analytics!) that help us turn raw student data into actionable information for educators and administrators.

Powerful Business Intelligence

It is a great software providing tools to build the next generation advanced reports and dashboards.

Review of Yellowfin Business Intelligence

We are a small company bringing data visualization to a market that is data rich, yet unsavvy about the insights it can offer. After much research and trial, we landed on Yellowfin two years ago as the best choice for us. There is not a problem or situation we have run into yet that Yellowfin could not address; especially with the assistance of the US based support team. Yellowfin worked with us closely to understand our business and fashioned an arrangement that met our needs nicely. We introduced Yellowfin to our development partner and after the proof of concept work they raved it was easier to use and integrated more effectively than other BI tools they work with, which include the other leaders in the industry. We recommend it regularly to others.

Yellowfin continues to Delight

Overall, we've had a great experience with Yellowfin.  Setup was easy and we were getting insightful analysis very quickly after adopting.  We found the communication and ability to share comments, dashboards, reports very useful.  That functionality really helped our distributed team make forward progress within our data sets.  It's been a great experience and has been a tool helping drive our business.

Great functionality

I have been using Yellowfin for our customers to use on our cloud project management platform (PieMatrix). I spent a good deal of time looking at other BI options. The reason I chose Yellowfin was 1) their user interface and customer end experience is very clean and modern, which reflects well with our PieMatrix "Pie" project tool, 2) the Yellowfin price value was much higher than any other BI tool I reviewed, and 3) they were the best choice for managing end-customer users who have different data sources in a multi-tenant environment. I would also like to share that our experience with their current sales and customer team has been great. They have bent over backwards to help me get the best plan for our customer base. And most importantly, our customers using our Yellowfin integration have been very happy with the report output.

Happy with Yellowfin

Yellowfin was not as flexible or as robust as other options.

Thanks for the review, Erik!  Customer feedback is the main engine of Yellowfin’s innovation.  With that said, we’re extremely bummed about your negative experience with Yellowfin and are regretful that we couldn’t work with our Partner that was handling your account in a more effective manner. For what it’s worth, our newest version 7.2 tackles the issues you bring up. If anything changes for you in regards to your current BI platform, we’d love to show you the newest version of Yellowfin and win you back! 
Cheers - Yellowfin.
