We performed a comparison between Tableau and Yellowfin based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I love the customization skills that Tableau has, it is not restricted to what is built-in already."
"It is very easy to create dashboards, charts, and graphs."
"Its dashboarding is the most valuable. It is easy to create visualizations and dashboards and import Excel sheets and ESP files in Tableau as compared to other tools."
"The action feature which Tableau has is very useful for us. If we click on one visualization, it will pass the value to another visualization. That interactivity within different visualizations is the most valuable feature of Tableau."
"It's easy to use."
"It is so easy to do a lot of things. There is a lot of flexibility and creativity in this product. In other products, you don't have this flexibility."
"The feature that is currently most valuable is the import feature where I can link to an Excel data source. I'm not using it with any other data source, such as SQL Server. I directly link it to an Excel sheet, and if I change anything in that Excel sheet, the changed data immediately gets reflected in the virtualization. This is something that is very convenient for me as of now."
"I have found many of the self-service features valuable."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"When there are millions of records, scaling up is quite difficult."
"I would like them to include the Italian language, as I can see there are other foreign language in the product."
"The user experience for less savvy or non-technical people (from my experience)."
"Firstly, the high cost of Tableau licenses makes it inaccessible for many mid-scale clients. Secondly, the server requires at least 128GB of RAM, which can be impractical for some systems. We need a dedicated system to use Tableau."
"Users would like to be able to export an Excel file when they see a table or something like that. That's not an out-of-the-box feature for Tableau."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"There are more than a powerful tool in the market, such as Microsoft BI."
"People are migrating to Microsoft BI due to the speed, which is quite slow to load, and the lack of visualization options."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
