Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"Its drag-and-drop interface lets me and my team implement all the solutions that we need in our company very quickly. It's a very good tool for that."
"This solution allows us to create pipelines using a minimal amount of custom coding."
"It's my understanding that the product can scale."
"Flexible deployment, in any environment, is very important to us. That is the key reason why we ended up with these tools. Because we have a very highly secure environment, we must be able to install it in multiple environments on multiple different servers. The fact that we could use the same tool in all our environments, on-prem and in the cloud, was very important to us."
"We're using the PDI and the repository function, and they give us the ability to easily generate reporting and output, and to access data. We also like the ability to schedule."
"We can schedule job execution in the BA Server, which is the front-end product we're using right now. That scheduling interface is nice."
"We use Lumada’s ability to develop and deploy data pipeline templates once and reuse them. This is very important. When the entire pipeline is automated, we do not have any issues in respect to deployment of code or with code working in one environment but not working in another environment. We have saved a lot of time and effort from that perspective because it is easy to build ETL pipelines."
"The solution has a free to use community version."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"The testing and quality could really improve. Every time that there is a major release, we are very nervous about what is going to get broken. We have had a lot of experience with that, as even the latest one was broken. Some basic things get broken. That doesn't look good for Hitachi at all. If there is one place I would advise them to spend some money and do some effort, it is with the quality. It is not that hard to start putting in some unit tests so basic things don't get broken when they do a new release. That just looks horrible, especially for an organization like Hitachi."
"I could not connect to our Hadoop environment in an easy and flexible way, and it was important to scale our data warehouse."
"There is not a data quality or MDM solution in the Pentaho DI suite."
"Some of the scheduling features about Lumada drive me buggy. The one issue that always drives me up the wall is when Daylight Savings Time changes. It doesn't take that into account elegantly. Every time it changes, I have to do something. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying."
"The reporting definitely needs improvement. There are a lot of general, basic features that it doesn't have. A simple feature you would expect a reporting tool to have is the ability to search the repository for a report. It doesn't even have that capability. That's been a feature that we've been asking for since the beginning and it hasn't been implemented yet."
"I work with the Community Edition, therefore I do not have support. There was an issue that I could not resolve with community support."
"One thing that I don't like, just a little, is the backward compatibility."
"If you're working with a larger data set, I'm not so sure it would be the best solution. The larger things got the slower it was."
