We performed a comparison between Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics and webMethods.io Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's my understanding that the product can scale."
"The way it has improved our product is by giving our users the ability to do ad hoc reports, which is very important to our users. We can do predictive analysis on trends coming in for contracts, which is what our product does. The product helps users decide which way to go based on the predictive analysis done by Pentaho. Pentaho is not doing predictions, but reporting on the predictions that our product is doing. This is a big part of our product."
"It makes it pretty simple to do some fairly complicated things. Both I and some of our other BI developers have made stabs at using, for example, SQL Server Integration Services, and we found them a little bit frustrating compared to Data Integration. So, its ease of use is right up there."
"The fact that it's a low-code solution is valuable. It's good for more junior people who may not be as experienced with programming."
"The area where Lumada has helped us is in the commercial area. There are many extractions to compose reports about our sales team performance and production steps. Since we are using Lumada to gather data from each industry in each country. We can get data from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Colombia at the same time. We can then concentrate and consolidate it in only one place, like our data warehouse. This improves our production performance and need for information about the industry, production data, and commercial data."
"The fact that it enables us to leverage metadata to automate data pipeline templates and reuse them is definitely one of the features that we like the best. The metadata injection is helpful because it reduces the need to create and maintain additional ETLs. If we didn't have that feature, we would have lots of duplicated ETLs that we would have to create and maintain. The data pipeline templates have definitely been helpful when looking at productivity and costs."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to create many API integrations. I'm always working with advertising agents and using Facebook and Instagram to do campaigns. We use Pentaho to get the results from these campaigns and to create dashboards to analyze the results."
"Data transformation within Pentaho is a nice feature that they have and that I value."
"The solution is scalable."
"Oracle's self-service capabilities, of which we make extensive use, is the most valuable feature."
"I like the tool's scalability."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"Our use case is for integration factory for SAP. It is mostly for SAP integration."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The performance could be improved. If they could have analytics perform well on large volumes, that would be a big deal for our products."
"Parallel execution could be better in Pentaho. It's very simple but I don't think it works well."
"It could be better integrated with programming languages, like Python and R. Right now, if I want to run a Python code on one of my ETLs, it is a bit difficult to do. It would be great if we have some modules where we could code directly in a Python language. We don't really have a way to run Python code natively."
"I'm still in the very recent stage concerning Pentaho Data Integration, but it can't really handle what I describe as "extreme data processing" i.e. when there is a huge amount of data to process. That is one area where Pentaho is still lacking."
"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 have been facing some difficulties when working with large datasets. It seems that when there is a large amount of data, I experience memory errors."
"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."
"I was not happy with the Pentaho Report Designer because of the way it was set up. There was a zone and, under it, another zone, and under that another one, and under that another one. There were a lot of levels and places inside the report, and it was a little bit complicated. You have to search all these different places using a mouse, clicking everywhere... each report is coded in a binary file... You cannot search with a text search tool..."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"The product's stability is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is difficult to maintain."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
"webMethods.io Integration's installation is complex. It should also improve integration and connectors."
"The solution's release management feature could be better."
"Rules engine processes and BPM processes should be improved."
