6. What analysts are saying about Pentaho
Pentaho is the only open source company featured in Ovum's Ovum Decision Matrix
for Business Intelligence. "Pentaho is one of the few vendors that provide a direct
integration into Hadoop and NoSQL databases, allowing users to analyse and visualize
NoSQL data alongside traditional data sources"
Forrester recognized Pentaho as the sole "Strong Performer“. "Pentaho provides an
impressive Hadoop data integration tool." Pentaho was cited for its rich functionality
and extensive integration with Apache Hadoop, and for providing certified integration
with distributions from Cloudera, EMC Greenplum and Hortonworks.
Passionned's Business Intelligence Tools Survey highlighted the completeness of the
Pentaho product suite compared to other vendors, as well as Pentaho's significant
cost-saving by pricing products per deployment, not per-user. Pentaho earned
recommendation as a complete enterprise solution.
Pentaho was included in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms.
The report, published, offers the analyst firm's insights on business intelligence
vendors who meet an inclusion threshold based on annual sales, capabilities, and
customer survey responses.

12. Pentaho ETL

13. Pentaho Kettle ETL
•Pentaho Data Integration (PDI, also called Kettle) is the component of Pentaho responsible
for the Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) processes. Though ETL tools are most frequently
used in data warehouses environments, PDI can also be used for other purposes:
•Migrating data between applications or databases
•Exporting data from databases to flat files
•Loading data massively into databases
•Data cleansing
•Integrating applications

Spoon
• GUI that allows you to design transformations and jobs
•Transformations and Jobs can describe themselves using an XML file or
can be put in a Kettle database repository.
•Spoon is available as executable script and batch file to make use of tool
in heterogeneous environment.
Pan
•A program to execute transformations designed by Spoon in XML or database
repository.
•Transformations are scheduled in batch mode to be run automatically at regular
intervals
Carte
•Simple web server to execute transformations and jobs remotely.
•Accept an XML that contains transformation to execute and the execution
configuration.
•Allows to remotely monitor, start and stop the transformations and jobs

25. Pentaho Big Data Integration
Pentaho is integrated with Hadoop at many levels
•Traditional ETL - Graphical designer to visually build transformations that read and write data
in Hadoop from/to anywhere and transform the data on the way. No coding required
•HBase Read/Write
•Hive, Hive2 SQL Query and Write
•Impala SQL Query and Write
•Support for Avro file format and snappy compression
•Data Orchestration - Graphical designer to visually build and schedule jobs that orchestrate
processing, data movement and most aspects of operationalizing your data preparation.
•HDFS Copy files
•Map Reduce Job Execution
•Pig Script Execution
•Amazon EMR Job Execution
•Oozie integration
•Sqoop Import/Export
•Pentaho MapReduce Execution

26. Pentaho Big Data Integration
•Pentaho MapReduce - Graphical designer to visually build MapReduce jobs and run
them in cluster. With a simple, point-and-click alternative to writing Hadoop
MapReduce programs in Java or Pig, Pentaho exposes a familiar ETL-style user
interface.
•Traditional Reporting - All data sources supported above can be used directly or
blended with other data to drive our pixel perfect reporting engine. The reports can
be secured, parameterized and published to the web. The reports can be mashed up
with other pentaho visualizations to create dashboards.
•Web Based Interactive Reporting - Pentaho's Metadata layer leverages data stored in
Hive, Hive2 and Impala for WYSIWYG, interactive, self-service reporting.
•Pentaho Analyzer - Leverage your data stored Impala or Hive2 for interactive visual
analysis with drill through, lasso filtering, zooming, and attribute highlighting for
greater insight.
