Sentiment score
7.1
Pentaho Data Integration offers reliability for small to midsize operations but may lag and freeze with complex uses.
It's pretty stable, however, it struggles when dealing with smaller amounts of data.
 

Room For Improvement

Domo users seek improved data integration, visualization, browser compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and support, while desiring enhanced collaboration and customization features.
Pentaho needs improvements in big data performance, error handling, UI, scheduling, backward compatibility, cloud integration, and Python support.
End users require a license to run their own reports and dashboards, which are fairly expensive.
Pentaho Data Integration is very friendly, it is not very useful when there isn't a lot of data to handle.
 

Setup Cost

Domo's pricing is higher but justified by robust features, flexible licensing, and included cloud infrastructure reducing IT needs.
Pentaho offers a cost-effective solution with its free Community Edition and affordable subscription-based Enterprise Edition for varying needs.
Domo is expensive compared to other solutions.
 

Valuable Features

Domo excels in ETL, data visualization, governance, and collaboration, offering user-friendly tools for handling complex data tasks.
Pentaho provides an intuitive, open-source platform for efficient ETL development and data integration with minimal coding and broad compatibility.
I have been using it for four years and have been able to extract the information I need from it.
I find the drag and drop feature in Pentaho Data Integration very useful for integration.
