Easy to build interactive dashboards

What are the best aspects of this product?

I love that Pentaho enables even lay users to easily build interactive dashboards for detailed data analysis. I use the reporting tool and I can create reports in different formats like Excel and PDF. Plus, the app works well with SQL.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The vendor can improve a couple of features to make the tool more robust and useful. First is the interface is not simple and straightforward. Second, it is difficult to integrate the app with a database and you need good knowledge to pull it off.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

In my opinion, Pentaho is a better option for building dashboards and reports compared to PowerPoint or Excel as you can build interactive ones that drill down to deep levels for detailed analysis.

Are you a current user of this product?
