"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Easy to use components to create the job."
"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"RapidMiner is a no-code machine learning tool. I can install it on my local machine and work with smaller datasets. It can also connect to databases, allowing me to build models directly on the data stored there. RapidMiner offers a wider range of operators than other tools like Dataiku, making it a better option for my needs."
"I've been using a lot of components from the Strategic Extension and Python Extension."

When finished with the comparisons you can select the best one, and deploy it automatically."
"Version control would be a good addition."

"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
