Pentaho is a BIS(business intelligence system) that is designed to help customers
make decisions based on their data type, size, workflow, use, and importance.
The "Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics" is software made and integrated with different software sets of tools to make it a good alternative BIS.
The customers can create a platform using "Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics" for data integration and analytics.
The Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics platform includes, extract, transform, and load (ETL), big data analytics, visualizations, dashboards, reporting, data mining, and predictive analytics.
Pentaho BIS can be used where an organization has a lot of big data storage systems already installed and needs to manage, visualize, and analyze that data.
It has a specific use case for unstructured data, such as documents, and needs to be able to search and analyze it.
This sometimes happens when customers buy one storage capacity, then upgrade or buy another one to get more capacity, and their organization is full of different types of storage/data. It is very hard to visualize and manage that data.
Pentaho Business Analytics can significantly improve an organization's IT insite, instead of creating silos of their data, they can manage, analyze and create an overall report using one product. It has a community version and an Enterprise version. Organizations can benefit from it by Increasing their Productivity, Improving Data Pipeline Quality, and faster Data Delivery.
It is a very good replacement for BIS, an organization's needs can be fulfilled by using the community version if they don't have any compliance issues.
