Yellowfin Overview

Yellowfin came as a package within our audit analytics suite (ACL), which was being used as a post-analytics visualization tool. It was used exclusively by our audit team with 5 developers and ~15 business users. The tool was great for the time we used it, however ACL went away from using Yellowfin and decided to do most of the visualization with their in-house tool. Overall, the Yellowfin tool didn't catch-on the way it had intended and was somewhat limited because of the learning curve for SQL and developing.
Yellowfin has great visualizations and has been designed well for the business user to be able to simply navigate without issue. The tool is very flexible to use allowing multiple data sources to connect. They have done a good job in researching the market to understand and position their tool for a great core audience -- the tool was great for us at the time.

Diagnostics are difficult to come by. Oftentimes queries will be expensive and reports will either load slowly or not load at all, but there's no way for me to tell if that's because the query itself is expensive/not optimized, if the connection to the datasource is lacking, or if Yellowfin is running slowly.
