Yellowfin is the best platform to manage and analyze our data
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Yellowfin to perform our calculations and data in a more organized way in a modern and easy to use software for everyone. This tool is helping us to make better decisions in terms of data and analysis collected.

- It also allows you to view all data in real time and benchmark results.
- It has mobile access, which allows us to monitor the data collected at any time and place. And it has the drag and drop tool that few similar software have and is very useful.
Cons
- Data extraction can be a bit slow, I don't know if it is due to my computer or a system problem.
- The integration with google Analytics, was quite cumbersome, so much so that we required help from technical support.
- If they could have the cloud based version of the program, that would be great, so my computer wouldn't carry so much weight.
Return on Investment
- This software has been of great help to our work team, because it clearly shows the graphs and data of the company and trends, which allows us to make strategies according to the data collected, for the benefit of the company and its sales.
