    Yellowfin
    Chose Yellowfin
    Our reporting group uses Tableau extensively and compared to Yellowfin, Tableau is much easier to use (partially because more time was invested in setting it up properly, but also the design and features).
    Incentivized
    Chose Yellowfin
    ETL tool and analysis of Yellowfin is stronger and faster than other products.
    Incentivized
    Chose Yellowfin
    We ran a full procurement project to select Yellowfin and started with a long list of over 20 BI products. Key reasons for choice were ease of use, visual looks, product integrations and cost (both licence purchase and development of content).
    Incentivized
    Chose Yellowfin
    Yellowfin BI has a strong focus on a clear structured and easy to use user interface. Furthermore, the licence model was adequate for a BI system with a lot of end users.
    Incentivized
    Chose Yellowfin
    My selection of Yellowfin based on following criteria for the Indian market:

    • Availability in Linux platform to process high volume of transaction with CAL (concurrent user access license) model to use multiple server with high concurrent users
