"Easy to use components to create the job."
"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."
"I use the BI Server, CDE Dashboards, Saiku, and Kettle, because these tools are very good and highly experienced."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Pentaho is an analytics platform that can be used when an organization has a lot of big data storage systems already installed and needs to manage and analyze that data. It has a specific use case for unstructured data, such as documents, and needs to be able to search and analyze it."
"The in-memory feature gives us better insight. It's also easy to drill down into the information and select information."
"Data transforming with scripting, and the associative model that lets users browse data in an easy way, are the most valuable features."
"QlikView is one of the strongest tools, I would say. Also, it has a very vast capability to process the data"
"The search feature: ability to see the related data."
"Associative model - no more cubes."
"Scripting as per a customer's need, which is a pretty cool feature and not available in other tools."
"The language support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of QlikView is the integration with other third-party tools."
"Another concern is that Pentaho is not customizable or interactive."
"The repository should be improved."
"Pentaho Business Analytics' user interface is outdated."
"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."
"Version control would be a good addition."
"Logging capability is needed."
"Deployment is not simple. It is not simple because we are dealing with a lot of data; we are dealing with a lot of storage. So, it's not a simple process."
"We did not achieve the ROI. The work delivered to users had lesser value than the subscription cost."
"It is really old. We are moving towards converting everything into a Power BI environment. We want to have a self-service type of BI environment where different levels of users in organizations can log onto a portal and retrieve the data they need or get the necessary insights for decision-making that's important for them or their business unit. They have built a new version of QlikView called QlikSense, which probably competes with newer BI tools, such as Power BI, but they are far behind. That's why we are moving towards a newer tool that's easier to use and has more visualizations to represent the data."
"They could improve the update time."
"Sometimes the filters are disappearing, and I'm not sure why this is happening."
"I really wish the application was easier to use in the development phase."
"They could provide a user-friendly analysis process rather than specialized IT resource code."
"There is no automation or drag and drop functionality."
"More/newer visualisation components need to be added."
"Enhancing user-friendliness would be highly beneficial."
