icCube vs Yellowfin Embedded Analytics

icCube is an embedded analytics platform for B2B SaaS products, designed to bring analytics into a maker’s own application. It connects to relational data, IoT sources and custom connectors, with incremental loading and built-in ETL. Its in-memory dimensional model adds a semantic layer that translates raw data terms into business-friendly terms; Extended MDX supports multidimensional queries, and native Java integration is available. Teams can build printable, multi-layout dashboards with charts, tables, maps, filters, reusable gadgets and custom visualizations. JavaScript APIs enable two-way communication and parameter passing between the embedded analytics and the host application. Security can rely on the host application's authentication and authorization, alongside fine-grained cell-level roles and row-level security. The software runs on customer infrastructure or cloud, including behind firewalls, and is not a hosted solution. Pricing is paid, starting at 1950 /mo; there is no free plan, though a free trial is advertised. icCube is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.
