Usability

The software's ability to mine, extract & convert data into a readable actionable format works very well for organizations like ours & minimizes the risk of human error. It helps in automating daily tasks & saves a lot of time which in turn can be better utilized to analyze that data. Pentaho also helps in creating models out of said data which can be directly used to get to pain points.

Support Rating

Back end support team is always ready with resolutions to almost all our queries & even if they do not have the answers to the questions being asked, they assure us that they will find out & get back to us, which they usually deliver on. After-sale services are top-notch too with proper follow-up & query resolution in a timely manner.

Likelihood to Recommend

Pentaho is very well suited to perform data extraction & data mining from various cloud storage & transform that data using various available data models. However, the software struggles when it comes to visualizing the extracted data in an appealing manner & can be difficult for end-users to get an understanding of data tables created using those models.
