Pentaho Reviews

Pentaho is free and powerful. It is user friendly and with ample documentation.

Pentaho is integral to our business now. We are married to it! :-)

The flexibility of the tool and the quality of support from Pentaho make this a great, relatively inexpensive alternative to the larger proprietary tools.

Although the security piece is a major game changer in our shop, Pentaho is a great tool overall. I have known other shops to work out their security issues with Pentaho and do great things so we'll need to get through this growing pain point as well and make Pentaho our positive game changer. I am excited to see the improvements in Pentaho 5 and look forward to evangelizing it's benefits over the more high priced solutions out there.

Pentaho continues to fulfill our needs as previously described. We are regularly finding new uses for it as we expand our business and our technology stack.

We have moved to homegrown ETL and have matured as a company as to what we need from a BI tool. Our focus is now rich and intuitive data visualization with blazing speed. Our customers had already used MicroStrategy/Tableau in the past so that bar was already set very high. Unfortunately Pentaho could not give us a better if not similar experience as the tools our Customers had already used.

I will use Pentaho until I find a better tool with a better, easier to use report designer client. For now, Pentaho has been the most powerful reporting tool for our clients because of its ability to connect to Odoo, integrate in Odoo (reports are accessible in Odoo) and the flexibility in report design and parameter integration.

Basically, the cost is very affordable, if you have already done everything and the project is working then you don't want to replace it because that means making a whole new project. Also I think its very good and the competitor will not overcome the functionality. So you will find your self spending a lot of time and money to get to the same place.

Pentaho Data Integration is making my day-to-day work with data more effective. I have found that Pentaho Data Integration can connect to more data sources more easily than SSIS. Being open standards Pentaho can run in almost any environment - meaning it can run in the cloud as well as in client's environment and supports different operating systems.

It has consistently met our needs.

It was a fun tool to use and learn.
