We considered Informatica, Talend, and Lavastorm Analytics. We dropped Informatica as it was an expensive alternative. The staff was not comfortable when reading Java code generated by Talend. Pentaho is more popular than Lavastorm. For these reasons (and a few others), we chose Pentaho.

We are also offering Oracle OBIEE, but it all depends on the customer's use case and existing setup.

Pentaho Specialist/Free Software Expert at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Pentaho was a total unknown product back in 2006-2007. We ran several feature comparison sheets. The biggest and most controversial were against Informatica's PowerCenter and MicroStrategy Intelligent Server. Both were matched with Pentaho at some degree, and few things Pentaho was not able to deliver then. But, and this is a rather strong but, most of the time Pentaho had to be tweaked with to deliver that itens. It was a match, allright, but not a finished product by then.

Since that time the suite has evolved a lot and became more head to head comparable with the same products.
