Riding a Wild Horse - Community Edition

PROS

Many features. I like to use the reporting PRD, I think that it is the best. I use Spoon/Kettle that is a ETL tool to process data.

CONS

Many bugs. Maybe is because of Community Edition. We have many difficult to install in cloud. The layout of some report that run in developing, don't run in production.

Pentaho a Flexible System

Pentaho has been a great product for our agency. We have generated hundreds of customized reports. End users are able to pull reports directly out of our E.H.R.

PROS

Pentaho allows for great flexibility in report writing. It provides access to data tables with limited restrictions. It is highly customizable.

CONS

While the system does offer Wizard tools this is not a product for beginner level report writers. It is best used by someone with at least basic SQL training.
