It's very simple compared to other products out there.

It has improved our data integration capabilities.

Provides a good open source option.

Data transformation within Pentaho is a nice feature that they have and that I value.

One thing that I don't like, just a little, is the backward compatibility.

There is not a data quality or MDM solution in the Pentaho DI suite.

I could not connect to our Hadoop environment in an easy and flexible way, and it was important to scale our data warehouse.

I work with the Community Edition, therefore I do not have support. There was an issue that I could not resolve with community support.

I would like to see more improvements with AS400 DB2.
