Big Data Testimonials

To make Hadoop even easier for you and to eliminate barriers currently facing Hadoop-based projects, we have partnered with key companies that are leading the use of Hadoop and Big Data.

ExactTarget

Leading global provider of on-demand email marketing and interactive marketing solutions., explains:

"Although we evaluated many BI vendors for our next generation analytics service, what tipped the scale in favor of Pentaho was their support for Big Data analytics, especially Hadoop. Their offering was far superior to those of other venders in Big Data support and vision. For us, the two biggest selling points for us were support for ETL against Hadoop clusters and the ability to drill down from reports into data stored in Hadoop. Pentaho will dramatically reduce the development time necessary for us to bring our new analytic solution to market.”

Ideeli

Members-only shopping community selling luxury items, from clothing to home goods to travel packages, at preferential prices.

"Ideeli needs to analyze our massive web log data sets in the context of the rich data available in our relational transaction systems. Ideeli chose Pentaho for Hadoop because the built-in Hadoop, HBase and Map/ReduceElastic functionality in the Pentaho Data Integration application makes it possible to combine these sources to see the true picture of our business."

OpenBI

Pentaho partner and leading professional services firm, dedicated to bring actionable intelligence to business strategies and operations, while providing the economic and architectural benefits of commercial open source software.

"As a system integrator, OpenBI uses Hadoop and Pentaho with clients like ExactTarget to create analytical insights from previously inaccessible and untrackable data. When working with Pentaho for Hadoop we see a significant increase in productivity versus hand coding, and in many cases execution time and data passes are greatly reduced. The fact that Pentaho natively integrates with multiple data points reduces the complexity of the overall integration and gives us the flexibility to create a 100 percent custom integration without it being 100 percent custom."
