Pentaho Business Analytics Reviews

I really like Pentaho Data Integration, an ETL tool that makes your Extract, Transform and Load process easy, with rich functionality and nice design tools. And, for some reason creating your own plugin is very easy.

I have been use this product for about 3 years.

No, I did not encounter any issues with deployment so far, deployment process very straight forward.

No, I didn't. For each release Pentaho has good stability

I haven't explored much on scalability, but they have scalabity capability.

For most of the time, I usually use Pentaho forums and the response from the Pentaho community is very good.

The set-up is very easy. For full installation, Pentaho provides a binary package with an installation wizard. Or alternatively, you can just download and extract file, then just work through it.

If you are looking for complete tools and easy to customize for your business intelligence solution, I would reccommend this product.

My company embeds the following features into our product -

• BI server
• Analyzer report
• Interactive report
• Dashboard

We can demonstrate a better report UI and vivid experience for our customers.

The OEM license pricing is quite expensive. Enhance the authentication and authorization part.

We've been using the BA Server Enterprise Edition for three years.

Most of our customers have a complex authentication environment. Our customers found it difficult to configure flexibly.

There were no issues with the stability.

We have had no issues scaling it.

It's kind of complex if user wants to implement LDAP authentication, such as defining the scope and filters.

We implement it ourselves and then embedded it into our product. It’s not easy to separate the different components one needs.

I don't know much, but I have heard that the price is too high.

We are looking for a different solution but have not determined one yet.

It’s a comprehensive BA tool including ETL and reporting. It’s easy to use with a small dataset, but you will need to dig deep to optimize the performance when the data set is huge.

• Spoon
• Schema work bench
• CDE dashboards
• Client budget

• License cost has come down
• Easy maintenance

It's not flexible for an enterprise database.

I've used it for four and a half years.

Deployment is easy but upgrading is an issue.

There are no issues with the stability.

There have been no issues with scaling it.
