The Yellowfin product has most datasources and supports data merging at a dynamic and interactive level. It also supports the Pintl strategy around multiple system sources of data brought into an abstracted cubed environment.

Yellowfin provides almost all data sources to connect including RDBMS, Hadoop, enterprise Apps, CRM, ERP, analytical tools and custom connectors. Also it has the architecture to build views from various sources to integrate data that is used to build reports, dashboards and powerful collaboration and storyboarding for senior management. Yellowfin provides connectors for almost all social media and open source data platforms for easy integration.

This is difficult because we are an SAP shop and never tried connecting to this system, only SQL Server. The connection was good but I've seen easier tools that help you manipulate and develop SQL statements to bring in cleansed data. Not that Yellowfin was bad, but it was hard for those with little SQL knowledge.

Has a large selection of out of the box data source connections. Also very easy to merge data from disparate sources in views or reports. In Yellowfin 7.2 you can now add custom connectors built yourselves.
