This software is wonderful, with it you can obtain performance and scalability. As well as manage and schedule reports. It is very efficient which means that you save a lot in daily reports...

Data Integration allows the build of such a complex ETL projects in a quick way, it's very powerful. Being an open source software allows the user to always find hints over the web

Nachteile

Issue log reports not really clear the error/s occurring and the troubleshooting results sometimes difficult.
Scheduling

Vorteile

"higher visual interface to processes, has a good number of functions (and very easy to understand) for data reporting, integration, data mining and ETL.. very simple but effective Big data transform

You can build many dimensional model and load the results of the transformation into a database to develop any report whit low margin of error through a dimensional model and load the results of the transformation into a database to develop specialized reports , low margin of error-Automate the steps for execution"

Nachteile

Its a great tool to use, nothing to dislike about the product. Nothing to dislike, everything is good. All the features are really good.

Vorteile

Many features.
I like to use the reporting PRD, I think that it is the best.
I use Spoon/Kettle that is a ETL tool to process data.

Nachteile

Many bugs. Maybe is because of Community Edition.
We have many difficult to install in cloud.
The layout of some report that run in developing, don't run in production.

Vorteile

- We mature DI (Data integration) module
- Easy to learn design console (Spoon)
- wide community support
- Very well integrated with different platforms
- Innovating fast in Big data world specially Pentaho 7.1

Nachteile

- Not very well documented for latest releases one of the reasons is many innovation are happening very fast

Vorteile

Easy to use, compatible in many database such as mysql, ms sql server, different type of output to choose such as excel, html, richtext, etc.

Nachteile

Some version are slow on initializing and fetching data such as Pentaho report designer version 5 and above. Unlike version 3 which has smooth process, that was base on my experience.

Vorteile

Drag and drop functionality makes it easy to create transformations. Able to analyse data from multiple sources quickly and efficiently. Jobs can be scheduled in order to run specific tasks and transformations at a certain time.

Nachteile

Can take some time to figure out how to use it as there are lots of components involved. Can be a bit slow or run into out of memory issues for bigger queries but upping the virtual memory in the configuration can fix this issue.

Vorteile

Once you understand the basics of this program it is easy to use. The bonus with this program is that if someone write a report, they can share the script with you. The updated 6.1 version is definitely an improvement.

Nachteile

If you are not at all familiar with writing script, this program can be very challenging. No real user manuals are included.

Vorteile

It allows to extract the information from an OLTP database, transform the information through a dimensional model and load the results of the transformation into a database to develop specialized reports which Pentaho also has. It includes tools to perform queries, generate reports and reports, interactive analysis, dashboards, extraction, transformation and data loading, data integration.

Nachteile

It requires a large investment, because its correct implementation is not an easy task and these systems consume many resources.

Vorteile

- Free PDI tool....its free so no discussions with finance
- PDI is actually very effective ETL application with a easy to understand flow
- Community is actually helpful

Nachteile

- Free BI tool is just slightly easier than building a website from scratch but a lot harder than using any other BI tool.
- You need to know how to hack java to use.
- The paid version does not have competitive pricing for the incremental value.

Vorteile

Pentaho has nice schema browsing features whereby one not need know anything about the underlying schema in order to design a transformation. Automatic multi-threading by default.

Nachteile

When outputting to a table, Talend has an option to Drop if exists, and create. Pentaho has a Truncate [prior to load], but no option create the table as part of the data flow nor an option to drop an existing table.

Vorteile

Best reporting tool.Features like data reporting, integration, data mining and ETL.
Provides easy and good insights of business.
Provides intuitive interface for most advanced users

Nachteile

Sometimes Pentaho Spoon(GUI) crashes.sharing and collaboration capabilities need to be enhanced Other all features are really good.

Vorteile

-Automate the steps for execution
- It has a friendly graphic environment
- Easy to use
- Wide range of tools

Nachteile

-High basic requirements for execution.
- lack of detailed comments in error messages.
-It does not have documentation in Spanish language.

Vorteile

Ease of use and abundant features to get things done. Helps a lot in filling the various gaps in data sources.

Nachteile

Not so user friendly, takes sometime for new user to get around the application and figure out the various tricks and tools available

Vorteile

This tool can be installed on any operating system. It has a simple interface, so it takes less time to learn.

Nachteile

The design of the software is pretty old! Needs lot of improvement when compared to its competitors.

Vorteile

Pentaho makes it really easy to generate some complex data driven visualizations.

Nachteile

Pentaho doesn't have a lot of options for pulling data from public APIs.

Vorteile

Penatho brings a visual interface to processes which would traditionally only be accomplished by many, many lines of code (which it can also do). Many powerful inputs from servers, software, and CRM systems. It also has very detailed error handling, which makes it easy to troubleshoot.

Nachteile

Support is mostly wiki/community based, with instructions for particular steps being lacking, outdated, or missing completely. Outputs could be simplified as well, with even a basic CSV output being slightly more complex than it should be, compared to other steps.

Vorteile

I like its ease of use; it is very easy to build an ETL pipeline after the initial learning curve. I also like the variety of modules. There are a lot of powerful modules, and you will mostly find the module you want. User-defined code is very flexible; it's possible and very easy to plug in user-defined Java code. When there is no module implemented for desired function, this feature comes handy. Multithreading is also easy. The transformation can be set to run multiple copies in parallel.

Nachteile

Occasionally, Pentaho Spoon (GUI) crashes, and a restart is required.

Vorteile

The only BI software that is compatible with Firebird SQL, I have not found any other compatible BI.

Nachteile

Particularly I found it difficult to start learning, the documentation regarding the data integration (spoon) is scarce.

Vorteile

It provided an intuitive interface for most advanced users.

Vorteile

Fetures like data reporting, integration, data mining and ETL capabilities

Nachteile

nothing to dislike, everything is good. All the features are really good.

Vorteile

Pentaho BI Solution is nomilly a BI Open Source solution that can compete with the most important players of this area.
Pentaho is easy to manage and has a powerfull ETL inside that can be managed itself as a product.

Nachteile

The "Open Source Philosophy" is not away true.... I mean that if you want a full support from Pentaho it will be not-so-cheap

Vorteile

Really helps to solve complex business solutions with its cool features and like their contribution to open source.

Nachteile

Its a great tool to use, nothing to dislike about the product.

Vorteile

Data in Pentaho can be easily import from nearly any type of source including .csv, excel etc to create single report.

Nachteile

Pentaho itself is too much resource hungry as compared to other BI softwares. Configuration after installation is required that will be difficult for non-techies.

Vorteile

Pentaho is the best tool used for business intelligence, there are many tutorials on the internet on how to use the tool and it integrates very well with our internal company applications. I recommend it

Nachteile

Pentaho must modify the user interface, improve the user help system, it is very difficult to know how to handle all the tools
