Chose Yellowfin
Yellow Fin platform is browser agnostic and is accessible from desktops as well as mobile devices. It is very simple and fast, it is integrated with Big Data, clients do not require a great training. It just works. But it’s easier to have things on the cloud, especially if you …
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin is much improved over this product, making the process much more simple and faster.
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin is no doubt, a stronger, more eloquent and polished tool compared to Microsoft's Power BI. The issue with our company specifically is that we are a big Microsoft shop, and pay for Power BI more or less in our bundle esp w/ O365. While the Yellowfin tool is a more …
Chose Yellowfin
I feel like it is not as good as powerslides, basically does the same thing but not as well. The team basically found that it was using up more time and wasn't as easy to figure out as powerslide. We ended up switching programs after a while and still looking for a much better …
Chose Yellowfin
The Yellowfin product technologies are superior and offers more flexibility in application. The Yellowfin product can be used in several different areas such a report engine over and above being a solid business intelligence tool. It further needs significant IT overhead to be …
Chose Yellowfin
We ran a full procurement project to select Yellowfin and started with a long list of over 20 BI products. Key reasons for choice were ease of use, visual looks, product integrations and cost (both licence purchase and development of content).
Chose Yellowfin
Yellowfin BI has a strong focus on a clear structured and easy to use user interface. Furthermore, the licence model was adequate for a BI system with a lot of end users.
Chose Yellowfin
Our reporting group uses Tableau extensively and compared to Yellowfin, Tableau is much easier to use (partially because more time was invested in setting it up properly, but also the design and features).
Chose Yellowfin
My selection of Yellowfin based on following criteria for the Indian market:

  • Availability in Linux platform to process high volume of transaction with CAL (concurrent user access license) model to use multiple server with high concurrent users

User Testimonials
eMiteYellowfin
Likelihood to Recommend
eMite is well suited for small to mid scale companies. Their goal has been to aggregate data from every source and provide personalized views for both business and IT, with a presentation layer that is truly end user oriented, since the beginning. With my experience, I strongly believe that it is not very well suited for large companies.

Pros
  • Achieving granular level analytics be it for a Queue, Agent or Omnichannel Interactions.
  • Data Visualization with simple and efficient reports.
  • Robust real-time reporting.
Read full review
  • The Yellowfin user interface fits seamlessly into our own web software as it too is designed in the latest web technologies making it easy to use and easily accessible to our client base.
  • The Yellowfin user interface is intuitive and easy to use, elevating VSV clients from needing in-depth training on the product before true value can be realised.
  • The Yellowfin architecture supports the Pintl architecture 100% due to a similar design strategy and as such no real overhead is added to the Pintl system for the addition of the Yellowfin product nor does it add any additional IT overhead to be used.
  • The Yellowfin product is quick and simple to develop reports and dashboards in cutting turn-around-time at the VSV development team and when new/custom reports are required by VSV clients.

Cons
  • With so much data in one dashboard, sometimes it can be overwhelming to miss out on what you were look at in first place.
  • Wish this solution had some alerting system. For example, a beep sent out from eMite when a call hits the queue.
  • Interactive Data Visualization needs to be implemented.

  • The ability to predefine a colour for a specific graph as a selection option dynamically.
  • The ability to customise the label of a chart, especially with respect to performance related reporting graphs we need an increase in dynamic charting options to meet our more specialised requirements.

Usability
1. Creates the best user experience across different medias. 2. Pushes the contact center reporting to a new level. 3. eMite comes with regular KPIs out of the box, but it also allows users to fully configure their KPIs based on their specific data and requirements. 4. Browser based solution that can provide actionable insights for making complex business decisions.

Yellowfin has large promises that did not meet our expectations after we got it installed. We tried to configure it but things did not go as planned. After 1 year of trying - we still cannot get it working. Be very careful when signing up with them - everything is not what it seems.

Support for eMite so has far has been excellent. Most of the tickets are resolved the same day. I have always seen their SLAs staying intact even for a complex situations let alone bugs that are raised to development teams. So, I never had any bad day with eMite support. They were always on dot.

Anytime I needed a report, I ran into issues with this software. We used Yellowfin for a period of months, having switched from Salesforce. I found the reports were difficult to produce, and the data management was okay at best.

eMite cuts down all the manual part[s] of getting the data and organizing [it]. This happens in the abstract layer that keeps the user in the no worry one. eMite becomes part of the solution itself rather an external application that receives data from the solution. KPI and some other complex calculations are taken care of by this wonderful analytics tool.

Yellowfin is no doubt, a stronger, more eloquent and polished tool compared to Microsoft's Power BI. The issue with our company specifically is that we are a big Microsoft shop, and pay for Power BI more or less in our bundle esp w/ O365. While the Yellowfin tool is a more sleek tool, the cost to our company is something that we have to weight against a negligible cost with Power BI.
