"Easy to use components to create the job."

"The most valuable feature of Pentaho is the Tableau report."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' best features include the ease of developing data flows and the wide range of options to connect to databases, including those on the cloud."
"We were able to install it without any assistance from tech support."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."

"Version control would be a good addition."

"Pentaho, at the general level, should greatly improve the easy construction of its dashboards and easy integration of information from different sources without technical user intervention."
"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."

"One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support."
