Pentaho reviews

It is definitely the solution to carry out all the projects successfully!

Opmerkingen: Everything is organized better using this software. It is quite efficient and easy to use...

Pluspunten:

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...

Minpunten:

This software is potentially amazing. Has it all! Your free trial is as complete as the paid version. It's very complete.

Nice surprise

Opmerkingen: The tool allows the creation of complex ETL projects in a quick way and save time to produce valuable solution for the company.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Riding a Wild Horse - Community Edition

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Once you understand the basics of this program it is very, but very easy to use

Pluspunten:

"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"

Minpunten:

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

Pentaho a Flexible System

Opmerkingen: Pentaho has been a great product for our agency. We have generated hundreds of customized reports. End users are able to pull reports directly out of our E.H.R.

Pluspunten:

Pentaho allows for great flexibility in report writing. It provides access to data tables with limited restrictions. It is highly customizable.

Minpunten:

While the system does offer Wizard tools this is not a product for beginner level report writers. It is best used by someone with at least basic SQL training.

Excellent tool for integration and reporting

Pluspunten:

Excellent data integration across various data nodes, high user friendly which means easy to learn and cheaper cost compared to current market standards.

Minpunten:

Limitation in integration with JDBC connector, reporting designer features needs to be enhanced a bit and slow in fetching huge data.

The best tool for data integration

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

One of the best Business Analytics tool out there

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Totally Worth it!!

Opmerkingen: I had used both pentaho report designer(PRD) and pentaho data integration(PDI) for optimizing power BI connectivity. Totally satisfied with my experience.

Pluspunten:

Excellent Data Integration, affordable price model and high user friendly.

Minpunten:

Slow in loading huge data, technical limitation in reporting and resolving of ticket could have been improved a bit.

Gives me the ability to use clicks instead of code.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Evaluation_Pentaho

Opmerkingen: Intégration des données avec Pentaho Data Integration (PDI)
Analyse des données avec Mondrian (OLAP)
Création de tableaux de bord avec Pentaho Dashboard
Création de rapports avec Pentaho Report Designer
Gestion et analyse des données

Pluspunten:

Suite d'outils open-source de Business Intelligence (BI) Facilité d'intégration avec plusieurs systèmes de gestion de bases de données, outils de big data Large communauté et documentation

Minpunten:

Fonctionnalités limitées dans la version communautaire gratuite Manque de support technique officiel sur la version open-source

会社内のレポートを作成しています

Pluspunten:

主に、ETLとレポートデザイナーを利用して、会社内のレポートを作成しています。 担当者が手作業で作成していたレポートを自動で作成するように切り替えたり、 手作業では作成が困難だったレポートを自動作成したりしてきました。 最初の数年は、クライアントPC上でサーバーを稼働させて、お試しで運用しました。 その次は、性能の高めのクライアントPC上で、本格的な運用を開始して、 近年は、その有用性を社内で認められ、本格的なサーバー導入に至りました。 このような段階的な運用が可能だったのは、この製品に Community Edition が存在していて、フル機能を無償で試すことができる点が大きいです。

Minpunten:

良くない点はあまりありません。 強いてあげるならば、とっかかりで Community Edition を運用するにあたっては、やはり「情報を自分でかき集めて来る」必要があるので、万人にお勧めできない点でしょうか。 社内リソースや当人に不安があるならば、技術的な点を補うためには、外部の協力者に有償でサポートを受けた方が確実ですし、安心です。 Web上に情報が無いわけではないですが、フルスタックの知識を要求される面が多く、素人に毛が生えた程度の技術者では太刀打ちできません。 利用ユーザーの裾野を広げるためには、この点は改善されて欲しいと思います。

Potente software ETL

Pluspunten:

Il grande vantaggio della Suite Pentaho è lo strumento di ETL (Pentaho Data Integration o Kettle), strumento estremamente potente e performante che consente di comporre visivamente qualsiasi flusso di trasformazione del dato.

Minpunten:

Gli strumenti di Analisi del dato non sono al passo con lo standard attuale.

Pentaho, a great open source BI suit with strong community support

Opmerkingen: One of the best opensource BI tool, also well integrated with existing platforms. It will be interesting to see how will it get integrated with fast evolving Big data technologies. Pentaho 7.1 is step in right direction.

Pluspunten:

- 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

Minpunten:

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

Great partner of IT business analyst

Opmerkingen: Using this kind of software brings ease and accurate data reports that helps the company on decision making

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

ETL on the fly

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Saves me not only hours, but DAYS

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Pentaho Review

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Best Data integration and business analytics tool

Opmerkingen: Best product for reporting and analyzing.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Practical, versatile and objective

Opmerkingen: Fast execution of ETL processes in the case of massive data migration with a very low margin of error

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

I love the out of the box visualization templates!

Opmerkingen: I really like using it but chose to use other apps like tableau due to lack of features.

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Best BI Software for Integration and Reporting

Pluspunten:

Excellent Data Integration across all the databases , User friendly and amazing for report designing using PRD tool(Pentaho Report Designer). Loving it!!

Minpunten:

Takes longer time for fetching the data in report, technical limitations in report designing and bug solving are not easy.

Limited flexibility and subpar UI

Pluspunten:

Ease of install I suppose; that and its ease of uploading reports into our EHR.

Minpunten:

Flexibility is limited. Other report designers will offer time saving features that are missing here. Having to manually create queries instead of having a UI do it for you ( a la Crystal Reports) is a huge time sink. Using the Report Designer locks you into appearance constraints and removing them is a pain.

Pentaho is a user-friendly open source ETL tool

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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

Good for Reporting and Integration!!

Pluspunten:

Very easy to learn, provides efficient report designing tool and integration with different datasource is too good.

Minpunten:

It has limitations in customized templates, user community is not so high compared to other BI tools and compatibility issue with JDBC connector is definite area of improvement.
