Yellowfin is ideal for software vendors/OEMs who are looking to embed analytics into their applications, as well as for management and operational reporting for enterprise organizations.
With Informers extensible BI architecture, intuitive interface, collaborative environment, and enterprise-level performance, youre minutes away from actionable insights and data-driven decisions.
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.
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.
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.
I really liked Yellowfin BI, no big problems using it so far.
It is also excellent that clients do not require in-depth training. The integration capacity of Yellowfin with Big Data is excellent.
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.
Everyone that I have worked with, from sales through support has always been prompt, polite, and most important, very helpful.
We had an issue with another database and were unable to use the tool it came with. We were told there was no way to integrate it with our Student Information System.
Even loading and maintaining this software is simple and straight forward. Each upgrade that Entrinsik sends is helpful and addresses issues that help make the software more useful.
The cons are that the reporting does take a while to load, which can be frustrating.
Informers ability to traverse the database is super powerful and a huge time saver.
This may sound odd, but it means that we don't have to "baby-sit" the process. It runs without needing assistance, which lets us spend our time elsewhere.
Can do certain things with a Pie chart like present the amount on the dashboard without hovering over the slice. Great if you want to print out.
Version 4 has been difficult since we migrated to SQL.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
