ETL for Dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
Pentaho Data Integration (aka Kettle) is a tool included in the Pentaho suite that we use in our Smart Cities projects to obtain data from various data sources. It has a large number of tools already built for Input, Ouput, Transform ... that allow developers to save a lot of time. Its use is easy even for inexperienced users.
What do you dislike about the product?
If we want to have support with the Pentaho suite we should not use its Community version (free), but in some Smart Cities specifications of our clients they require a free and open source tool with associated support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
PDI allows us to obtain data from various data sources such as databases, excel files, csv, big data / hadoop type databases and use preconfigured tools so that obtaining this data is simple and parameterizable. Other languages such as python require the writing of complete modules, with PDI the implementation and debugging are integrated through Plug & Play tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The Pentaho suite has a Community version that is free and free software, so our recommendation is to download it and test it to verify that this tool meets your requirements. For our part, we recommend it as we use it practically whenever we need to extract data from a data source quickly and easily.
ETL with graphical interface
What do you like best about the product?
Pentaho data integration is one of the most powerful tools for building ETL processes that we use within our Smart Cities projects. It is a tool with a graphical interface that allows you to debug quickly and easily and has a multitude of preconfigured modules. Furthermore, it combines very well with the Hitachi Pentaho CDE tool for the generation of Dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you want to do a very simple development maybe you can choose to use Python source code directly. There are other powerful alternatives like Talend Studio.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pentaho Data Integration allows us to collect data from different data sources such as both relational and non-relational databases such as Big Data (HDFS), it allows us to bring information from Excel files ... and almost from any source of information we need. Also, their debugging tools save us a lot of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pentaho has a suite called Community that is free and available to everyone. In addition, it has many examples and information. We recommend trying it out before deciding if we need to purchase the paid version. It is a great tool and we recommend it.
PDI, best data cleaning tool
What do you like best about the product?
Pentaho comes in two editions, enterprise and community, I had experience with the community edition and here are all the advatages I see:
1. Its under apache2.0 license so while you read and work under the agreements, you can have this powerful tool for free
2. Has a very friendly user interface, so anybody, even without strong programming skill could make some transformations in just minutes
3. It has a wide variety of data inputs formats, allowing you to read from simple csv's or excels files to databases, json's and even s3 storage
4. It has a lot of tools for transformating your data without coding
5. If the functions that PDI has integrated aren't enough for you, you can add some scripting steps

What do you dislike about the product?
I see a strong oportunity on improving their documentation, sometimes its kinda hard finding examples for all the functionalities that PDI offers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I mainly use pantaho for transforming data on the ETL cycle, so I do cleansing of different sources and storage it in a DWH
Open Source ETL Tools
What do you like best about the product?
Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) is a free and open source tool for all users.
Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) is a very high performance product compared to the paid ETL tools. The product is quite simple to use. The components on the left side of the product have all the components that the user needs. (For example; excel connection, row value, etc.) In my experience, the Logging screen is not descriptive. Sometimes you cannot identify the source of the error. Other than that, I am very satisfied with the PDI tool

What do you dislike about the product?
Since there are no detailed explanations of the errors on the logging screen, sometimes we cannot find the cause of the error. Also in the user community microsoft, oracle is not as strong.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to import the data from the json file into the tables in the database. With the Pentaho Data Integration tool, we have transferred the json files to the database. We designed daily job with Windows Task Scheduler.
Great Business Intelligence Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The most like about Pentaho report data integration is it can handle large, millions of data files with no hussle, You can extract data from different databases with such a small amount of time. From data extraction you can use the report to build more power analytic chart and business intelligence that my colleagues helps a lot specially the sales and production to overcome the problems we can face on the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not a dislike but i observe that when i run pentaho verions 3 the bootup is fast while on version five on above it takes a 5 to 7 minutes. I dont know if this is involve with the specs of the computer or the pentaho version itself has lot of features to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem that i solve using pentaho data integration is extract million of different data from our databases and turn it on the reports and analytic charts that help my sales and production team on analyze problem on our product sales.
Recommendations to others considering the product:

What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use with graphical options for various things such as transformation.

There should be better documents for first-time users. When users use the tabs for the first time, it can ve confusing to them. Beside that better community support is required for the application so that enterprise can report bugs easily in the software.

Collecting and analyzing customer experience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better documents is needed.
ETL transformation done right

Excellent ETL UI for the non-programmer
What do you like best about the product?
PDI (previously known as Kettle) is an excellent data cleansing and transformation tool for the non-programmer. It has an excellent UI for users to build data flows without knowing how to code!
What do you dislike about the product?
You are limited to the modules and steps that the tool offers. There are excellent modules that is already offered but I heard there are some that you will not find here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use PDI for data cleansing and data prepping, especially when data is across multiple environments.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check out the community version.
