    Yurbi

    Score8 out of 10
    N/AYurbi is an embedded analytics and OEM business intelligence platform from 5000fish, built for ISVs and SaaS companies that need to deliver dashboards and reporting to their own customers. It is white-labeled to match the vendor's product, isolates data per tenant, and runs self-hosted on the vendor's own Windows, Linux, or Docker servers, so customer data never leaves their environment. Every tier includes the full platform with no feature paywalls: a no-code report…

    Additional DetailsA primary pricing consideration is that Yurbi is licensed by named users on a flat annual basis — not by consumption, queries, or sessions. Because Yurbi is self-hosted, pricing does not fluctuate with traffic, data volume, or the number of dashboards rendered, which maintains cost predictability as embedded usage grows. This contrasts with consumption-billed embedded BI (such as Power BI Embedded) and per-seat tools. Every tier includes the entire platform with no feature paywalls — embedding, multi-tenant security, the no-code report builder, dashboards, and the REST API are all standard. Tiers ($10,000 to $30,000 per year) differ only by the named-user ceiling, so you select a plan based on the number of users served rather than feature requirements. All plans include Priority Support and all upgrades. Additional factors ISVs commonly consider: each plan includes one development and one production license, with additional production deployments available from $500/year — suitable for one-instance-per-customer or on-premise ISV models — and volume discounts apply at scale. A 14-day free trial is available without a credit card; early-stage and smaller ISVs may qualify for pricing below the Starter plan, and optional professional services and a VIP Service Plan are available for teams requiring implementation assistance.

    • Yurbi allows us to build customized Dashboards for specific users. Once the initial Dashboard is created, the user themselves have permissions to customize the Dashboard to suit their needs. The flexibility is there for a wide set of users.
    • Yurbi product is highly customizable. We looked for a Business Intelligence product for quite some time that could be customized to work with different types of data sets. When we started considering Yurbi, it was evident from the beginning that the product could be customized very quickly to work within our environment and our specific data types.
    • The Yurbi product stays a step ahead with the changing market being focused more for the tablet and smart phone user population. As our customers first started to use iPADs and iPhones, it was great to see that an upgraded Yurbi product was readily available for use for the iPAD/iPhone set of users.

    Cons
    Idera, Inc.
    • 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.

    • While the Yurbi Developer tool is highly mature, there have been cases where building specific complex reports within Yurbi required extensive support directly from the vendor (and even some Yurbi product customizations). It would be great if the Yurbi Developer tool could be slightly refreshed to make it easier for more non-technical users to build more complex reports within Yurbi.
    • Over years of usage of the Yurbi product with growing set of available reports to run for users, it's easy to get unorganized in terms of being able to find the correct report to run. It's highly adviseable if future releases of Yurbi began offering features to organize all reports a little better within the product (including an audit trail of reports that users typically run to make it easier for them to go back to the right reports).
    • We heavily use the SMTP configuration within Yurbi to set up auto-email notifications to specific set of users with requested reports. At times, the SMTP service becomes unavailable and Yurbi product is unable to send these emails to the users. Besides not receiving the email, it's easily evident that the SMTP service connection failed. It would be great if future versions of the Yurbi product would alert the user of the failed SMTP connection on initial Yurbi login so the administrator becomes aware of the issue and can take action to resolve the problem.

    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.
