Muhammed Shafad - PeerSpot reviewer
Scalable platform with efficient data set creation features
It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category. Our customers want to improve the business into a SaaS model. They analyze the telecom-based transaction data with SaaS, including the number of subscribers, usage of 4G and 5G networks, etc. The platform improved data analysis for our customers by providing a visualization library. We can drag visualization graphs to create weekly sessions. There is no need to implement any extra coding. It has no code interface allowing us to track the dimensions and measure the canvas. It automatically generates the chat once we select the graph. The most efficient features are data set creation and data manipulation. We can directly use the raw data table and summarize it dynamically by processing the data manipulation window. SQL Editor enhances the data scoring process, helping us write queries directly during dashboard discrepancy issues. We can store the query for future analysis as well. It enables a customizable integration with other data sources. The main benefit of using the product is the ability to access the data source without using any coding. Any user can create reports easily with minimal training. I recommend Apache Superset for customers who are considering open-source vendors. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Very scalable design and easy to implement. It can reside alongside more complex enterprise systems.
I have been involved with the implementation of many BI products; many products are expensive, require complex and difficult implementations, and once installed it is only the start of a lengthy consulting engagement to get the installation to where the customer wants it to be. Yellowfin is the antithesis of this; it installs easily, the configuration is done quickly, and the user can come up to speed quickly (especially if they have used other BI products). As an implementer, this changes how we operate, because we can focus on providing the customer what they want, not just on technical wizardry to get the product operational.
