Founder at SJT Consult | 4.0 | I've used Pentaho Business Analytics for seven years mainly for ETL, and while it's cost-effective and supports CI/CD, it's not ideal for complex or highly elastic processes and lacks strong integration compared to newer solutions. |
DBA at Federal University of Uberlândia | 4.5 | I primarily use Pentaho Business Analytics for data warehouses. Its user-friendly interface handles large datasets, though it requires technical skills to master. Despite its stability, my company found no ROI and switched from Pentaho to Power BI. |

IT Manager at Synergy Computers | 4.0 | Pentaho Business Analytics is a BIS designed to help organizations manage, visualize, and analyze data, especially unstructured data. It has valuable features but requires improvement in user-friendliness and reporting, offering a good ROI for heterogeneous environments. |

Founder at Unknown.University | 4.0 | We used Pentaho for integrating and standardizing data in our insurance business, finding it valuable for tasks like AML suspect identification and secure data sharing. However, implementation complexity and ROI fell short, leading us to consider other solutions. |
Administrative Assistant at a university with 10,001+ employees | 4.0 | I use Pentaho Business Analytics for ETL and monitoring processes, valued for its ease of developing data flows and connectivity options. However, its outdated interface and limited features require self-development, and manual metadata updates are problematic. |
