    Pros
    Great analytics and results are very useful. Provides good insight of the business.
    A very well designed platform, of great cost benefit, as well as the integration and reports, even better than when we analyze the costs.
    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.
    Cons
    Lack of detailed comments in error messages. It does not have documentation in Spanish language.
    The bugs are usually not so easy to solve, and the errors shown sometimes don't give you a clue of what is wrong.
    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 a powerful data integration and analytics platform

    Reviewed 2 months ago

    As a data analyst, I have used a variety of tools and platforms over the years, but Pentaho stands out for its ease of use, robust functionality, and flexibility.One of the standout features of Pentaho is its user-friendly interface, which allows for easy drag-and-drop creation of data integration workflows and analytics reports. The platform also offers a wide range of pre-built templates and connectors,...

    Pros

    One aspect of Pentaho that I appreciate is its flexibility. The platform offers a wide range of tools and features that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of different users and organizations. From data integration and cleansing to advanced analytics and reporting, Pentaho offers a comprehensive set of tools that can be customized to fit a variety of use cases.

    Cons

    One potential drawback of Pentaho is that it can be somewhat complex and challenging to set up and configure. The installation process can be time-consuming and require a high level of technical expertise.

    Riding a Wild Horse - Community Edition

    Reviewed 6 years ago
    Pros

    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.

    Cons

    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.

    Pentaho a Flexible System

    Reviewed 7 months ago

    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.

    Pros

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

    Cons

    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.
