"Easy to use dashboard for reporting"
5/5
What do you like best about Yellowfin BI?

One of Yellowfin’s biggest strengths is its user-friendly interface. Business users can build dashboards, reports, and visualizations with minimal technical expertise, while more advanced users still have access to powerful data modeling and customization options.

What do you dislike about Yellowfin BI?

Yellowfin may require some initial setup and configuration effort for complex data models or large-scale deployments which I think just like the other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Data Visualization Tool for Charts and Graphs"
4/5
What do you like best about Yellowfin BI?

As a dev with a few years under my belt YellowFin has been the number one project I am eager to work on. I love the ease of connection to my client databases so I can hook in queries and just start building charts and systems! Additionally I am a HUGE fan of support. Most vendors I work with have a very lack luster support team but every time I email, zoom, or call yellow fin is right there and knows how to help or explain things. That to me is worth the price alone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Yellowfin BI?

I am not a very big fan of the user interface. While it is a powerful tool, it is not an intuitive experience and requires some tinkering to really wrap your head around things. There is a ton of trial and error to really get off the ground, and while I appreciate the complex features, they could do a much better job with logical flow of how systems interconnect instead of a vast and detailed menu system.
