I had used both pentaho report designer(PRD) and pentaho data integration(PDI) for optimizing power BI connectivity. Totally satisfied with my experience.
Excellent Data Integration, affordable price model and high user friendly.
Slow in loading huge data, technical limitation in reporting and resolving of ticket could have been improved a bit.

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.
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

- 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
- 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.

I have transformed multiple databases from different sources and formats into one single format and recognizable database set. After single database operation, I need to summarize report for that purpose i used Pentaho report designer tool to summarize and design report.
Data in Pentaho can be easily import from nearly any type of source including .csv, excel etc to create single report.
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.

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

My company has integrated Power BI among our Development, Sales, Analytics, Prouduct, and Marketing teams to share real-time data reports.
Power BI analytics features much faster data load times than it's competitor, Pentaho. The user interface is also much friendly and much easier to learn than compared to Pentaho. Our team made the switch 6 months ago and our ability to get real-time business intelligence has been vastly improved.
Power BI reports only seem to be able to source data from a single sheet. I'm not sure if this will be fixed in a future iteration.
