I like the easy to use report designer and the integration with OpenERP. It definitely requires technical savvy to set up but it is very easy to use once it is. I like that you can parameterize your reports to give clients that ability to filter through data as they would like to see it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The designer is a bit buggy on my Windows 7 machine. I may have the incorrect Java version or it could be a conflicting setting on my machine but that has been frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was so easy to build reports and dashboards on our Snowflake warehouse with Pentaho Business Analytics. We basically setup the Snowflake JDBC driver, created a data source using the Data Source Wizard and was doing ad-hoc analysis and dashboarding within an hour.
The visualizations also look very nice like the heat grid and map. Seems like there are a lot of tuning and configuration options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are a lot of tools/options to consider when trying to solve the basic problem of building a report. I suppose it may take some time to figure out which tool (i.e. Analyzer, Reporting, CDE, etc.) is the best one based on needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice to have a replication template on objects, tables, bridge-tabs, maps, which would help the layout. I think many core elements, such as communication and working ability, must be improved. Also, the marketplace has a rapid JSON output stage, but I feel I'd be better if Pentaho could be able to render JSON processing even more rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The automated Pentaho solutions are simple to learn and can insert and convert information that you have easily. Pentaho Analyzer is a versatile and straightforward analysis tool built on the Enterprise software of Pentaho. Also, it lets you link to almost every data source as long as you have a JDBC socket, REST API and any other endpoint of the Network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pentaho does not have a large community of users, so the feedback is very limited. We have some user groups that are helping each other out, but that's it. Also, more guidelines need to be provided in order to set analytical diagrams or create models manually. In general, Pentaho needs some improvements, as it has all the potential to become a genuinely side-to-end BI solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pentaho is extremely fast when working with any form of RDBMS from data entry to data charging. You can also link to many information sources in a very easy way. The powerful graphical coding tool of Pentaho Data Integration is amazing too. Syncing with AD is very useful to set protection for a directory or group of customers whenever you want. Also, Pentaho does have an accessible-source version that delivers a large part of the Business Version features with no license fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like to see Conceptual model Workbench's feature for the pier tables because they form part of the star scheme, and PDI reads JSON files slowly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pentaho is multiplatform uses standard technology, it is easy to install and configure, it has basic environments and it is a flexible solution that allows to create functionalities or modules that adapt to the needs of any organization. It is relatively stable, robust and reliable. This is a free platform, so you can realize an incredible perspective to start using Pentaho and discover the full potential of this tool. Pentaho has many different features and an intuitive design that help create several reports and panels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
So far it is a great tool to use, all its features are excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The delivery process was super fast. We just downloaded the program and within seconds we started creating analytics. Then, we discovered that Pentaho could be built into all kind of tech and framework, and have incorporated it readily and effectively with various RDBMSs when there is too much layout. Also, the model and CSS layout allow us to build something unique, although it may sometimes become a challenge, but it can still be done quite fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of Pentaho's main problems was its company licence because some of us, as customers that understood what is given in the large community edition, felt that its corporate features were far too big. Also, we have stopped switching to Tableau licenses for much of our inner dashboarding and investigating because we must go to the XML folder to add the new items to do this, which was a very long process.

Pentaho Business Analytics allows us to sort the data the user needs to enter and to create a further layer of safety to send reports or e-mails through security, classes or the list of users. Even non-technical consumers may easily produce reporting and graphs if presented with a well-specified web application schema by using Pentaho. It is also user-friendly and it helps several of our programmer users to learn PUC's user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are team tables, but it becomes very difficult for programmers to modify this system when Schema Workbench is used to model a cube. Also, because of licensing issues, the modeling software of Pentaho has a very high price of technology. It also has relatively poor resources, maybe lower than designers and advisers may need. I wish Pentaho could seek to integrate quantitative material with all the functionalities of artificial intelligence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The routing , looping , calling child jobs in the package is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The data loading from source to target is bit annoying . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
