Overall Satisfaction with Pentaho
Pentaho is used as our organizational-wide reporting and BI platform. It is bringing together data from multiple enterprise applications including ERPs, HRM, EAM and PLMs. We are using it to create both prepackaged PDF reports as well as interactive analysis reports where users can compose their on add-how reports.
- It is relatively stable, robust and reliable.
- Interactive analysis reports are very useful and relatively easy to use.
- Relatively simple to integrate with other systems
- The type of graphs and layouts proposed for diagrams and charts are a little bit limited and partly outdated.
- For certain reports you can feel that it is not using the latest web technologies.
- The tools for creating new report template designs could be improved.
The basic functionality of Pentaho is well matching the capabilities of some of the main competitors. We also selected Pentaho since part of the platform is open source and can be used without commercial licenses. Currently we use a mix of the open source components and the commercial components.
