We performed a comparison between Tableau and Yellowfin based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two BI (Business Intelligence) Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is quick and easy and you don't need special outside assistance to set everything up."
"The most valuable feature is the interface, which is user-friendly and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature is the user experience."
"Tableau is easy to use and it has great predictive features."
"It most valuable feature is its ease of developing visualizations, not just charts and graphs."
"Partner support is very good."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The most valuable feature is the richness of its visualization and from a self-service standpoint, the ease of use."
"It reduces time to reproduce reports, provides easy access to organisational data, and has the ability to generate a wide range of reports and analysis."
"It is able to create information dashboards for various users' throughout."
"It is a central source of up-to-date data and information."
"With Tableau, when you're dealing with very large datasets, it can be slow so the performance is an area that can be improved."
"The architecture should be improved to better handle the data."
"In the next release, I would like to be able to have the option to see more raw data that I'm converting on the dashboard."
"When we put more information on a single screen, it gets compressed and superimposed in many places while scrolling."
"I have used Power BI as well as Tableau. There are a couple of interesting features that I like in Power BI, but they are not present in Tableau. For example, in Power BI, if I am looking at country-wise population, I can type and ask for the country that has the maximum population, and it will automatically give an answer and address that query. This kind of feature is not there in Tableau. Similarly, in Power BI, for integrating with the latest ML algorithms, we have decision trees and primarily multiple machine learning algorithms. The decision tree essentially visualizes the patterns in the data. We don't have such a feature in Tableau. If Tableau can integrate with the machine learning algorithms and help us to do visualizations, it would be a wonderful combination. Most of the people are going for Tableau primarily for visualization purposes. However, in the data science industry, users want to do model building as well as tell a story. As of now, Tableau is fulfilling the requirements for visualization purposes. If they can bring it up to a level where I can use it for machine learning purposes as well as for visualization, it would be very helpful. Many people who want to do data science don't want to write a code. Tableau is anyway a drag and drop tool, and if they can provide those options as well, it will be a powerful combination."
"An advanced type of visualization is a bit tricky to create. It has something called a Calculated field, and that sometimes gets a bit difficult to use when you want to create an advanced type of visualization."
"The interface can be improved, in part because there is no indication that something is running or that it's processing."
"Other tools are more competitively priced."
"It needs more presentation/charting capabilities and integration with GIS."
