    • 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.

    As mentioned previously, if a newer company is looking for a strong, polished BI tool, Yellowfin would be a great software vendor to consider. Unfortunately, the high cost might be a barrier to these newer companies who dont have any legacy software/agreements such as an EA agreement with Microsoft.

    They have good support in what they provide. But what they provide is not what is promised. I would stay with them if I can. Be very careful before signing up with them. They are not what they seem in the sales pitches. Be very careful and make sure you test and test before you sign up.

    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 need to use different computers. Yellow Fin lacks the cloud feature.

    Entendo Screenshots

    Screenshot of Entendo's landing page, which introduces the product's core promise: Ask. We understand. Users type any business question in plain language and get the answer instantly — with charts, context, and reasoning — no SQL, no IT tickets, no waiting for the BI team.Screenshot of where users can upload a spreadsheet or CSV, connect their own SQL database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle), or sync tables from a cloud service like Google Sheets. File upload is the recommended path for first-time users who want to evaluate the product on their own data before connecting production systems.Screenshot of where Entendo connects directly to existing production databases — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle — using read-only credentials you control. The architecture is read-only by design with four layers of SQL sanitization, so the AI agents can never write, update, or delete data.Screenshot of the conversational interface, which delivers analysis as a complete answer. In this view, the AI is responding about a pessimistic scenario: a revenue line chart on top, headline KPIs in the middle (current revenue, scenario impact, variation percentage), and a comparative bar chart at the bottom. Everything is generated live from the connected database.Screenshot of the Business Analytics Agent responding to a real question: "show me an analysis of the actions being continuously taken to grow revenue by 30%." Instead of dumping a chart, the agent delivers a structured diagnosis — overall picture, central problem, root-cause hypothesis, and concrete actions — grounded in the user's own data.Screenshot of an AI generated chart that can be pinned to a dashboard with a click. This example shows a wholesale operations dashboard with four views: weekly sales by day, top products by unit, critical stock products, and inventory turnover ratio. Dashboards are shareable across the workspace, so the whole team sees the same numbers.
