Fantastic user interface. The data visualization functionality is very powerful and really helps tell the stories behind the data.

Its greatest strength is its flexibility to accept almost any kind of data and form them into displays with each other.

I helped integrate our project with tableau (embedded in our page html files). Overall a good experience with nice results and happy users.

I use this on a daily basis to check the stats of my surveys for my job. I love how convenient it is to see how great of a job I am doing for customers.

I love this software because its easy to pull in data from excel and create meaningful visualizations like stories and dashboards.

Have a good community support and documentations. It dose provide a 30days free trial on the tableau application, after which we need a product key.

Amazing and interesting its support and community support available online makes it more better then thought of.

Main business problems for using Tableau are analyzing metrics for daily operations, specifically failure rates and tracking completion.

There are some limitations (eg. email alert layout is extremely limited, you can only drag the date range filter as opposed to selecting dates). Some of our dashboards load very slowly.

There are great visuals right out of the box, and very clever interactions that allow you to drill down.

Great at helping us understand our clients better and using data more effectively.

Overall a high value application, with planty of options and gave me an excellent solution for a costum dashboard.

I for one use it to visualize our budget spend and how we're doing. It helps when creating presentations, no likes looking at numbers.

Tableau does lack functionality and is hard to use. There are scaling issues.

Tableau is one of the best business intelligence tools available in the market. The visual interface is really good and easy to use.

I loved the graphics and the ability to integrate large amounts of data. It gives tutorials right in the application so you can get assistance.

The support we pay for is almost worthless. We frequently solve the problem ourselves and it is time consuming to submit everything via their helpdesk with nothing to show for it.

Very powerful engine with capability to connect to varied data sources. It can be used to make some exceptionally amazing visualizations.

Overall experience is quite awesome This tool provides great insights from the data as we can use variety of charts to visualize our data.

If one is really skilled with the tool, complex visualizations can be created. I was thrilled to see a new feature that connects tables and was released in 2020, called noodles.

If a cheaper license is provided for small businesses, it will help lift improve its ROI. Tableau training was super helpful to me in grasping its user interface.

It is difficult to navigate and get started on the platform. Requires some training before you can be let loose on the platform and create your own reports.

In addition, there are large amounts of libraries of visualizations that you can use as inspiration (a great online community).

Working with Tableau has been a great experience. The time the implementation team took to help me out was great.

All in all, this is a great software with a lot of abilities to make an impressive presentation.

Some limited features/functionalities prevent you from doing basic things (such as formatting) or require complicated workarounds.

Reasonably priced, attractive graphics and ease of use is nearly unparalleled.

I dislike how it can be difficult to give end users access to the live updating dashboards that we do make through the software.

I love the interface of the dashboards and the ease of use once they are assembled. The dashboards are really cool.

Easy integration with existing data sources and nice charts analyzing all the data. Any one can understand without any prior training on the analyzed charts.

Tableau has great visuals, fairly intuitive UX, a big plus is the huge online community.

Love the ease of sorting through data and organizing into an attractive presentation.

It is also excellent that clients do not require in-depth training. The integration capacity of Yellowfin with Big Data is excellent.

The fact that the program is useable on both Mac and PC makes it a great option. The program is certainly worth the cost.

Overall, we've had a great experience with Yellowfin. Setup was easy and we were getting insightful analysis very quickly after adopting.

I really liked Yellowfin BI, no big problems using it so far.

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.

It is very easy and simple to use and is a great tool.

We loved the customization of the program, and we could really make it our own. When we did have technical issues, customer support was able to resolve them very quickly.

Yellowfin is one of the greatest analytical tools that are really great for creating dashboards and making OLAP operations.

It is pretty easy to use and is quite user-friendly. It's very easy to connect multiple data sources in it and this helps the user tremendously.

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.

Yellowfin is a great BI software with an easy-to-use UI that anyone can use, it makes reporting, analytics and data visualization much easier.

As a business, yellowfin has helped make the best decisions based on our data.

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.

Ease of use, with compromising functionality, for administrator as well as users. For us, strong security and multitenancy is important.

Ease of use, customer support has been great, cost is exceptional value for money.

They have bent over backwards to help me get the best plan for our customer base. And most importantly, our customers using our Yellowfin integration have been very happy with the report output.
