Carlos-Mejia - PeerSpot reviewer
An easy-to-deploy solution with a variety of use cases and excellent reporting features
The initial setup is quite simple. The setup and integration with the customers can be done fast. The deployment method depends on the industry. It can be deployed on-premises and on the cloud. Banking customers request to have the product deployed on-premise. We have around 50% of the product on-premise and 50% on the cloud.

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.

"It would be great if decentralized teams would have more features to manage the metadata on the dashboards, setup the specific user access rights and rules to govern incoming and outgoing data sets from/to other teams, and more features to separate the different data process layers (e.g. extraction, transformation [data quality, business rules])."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
