Pentaho

Pentaho was founded in 2004 by five founders. [1][2] It offers a suite of open source Business Intelligence (BI) products called Pentaho Business Analytics providing data integration, OLAP services, reporting, dashboarding, data mining and ETL capabilities.[3] Pentaho is headquartered in Orlando, FL, USA.[4]




The Pentaho suite consists of two offerings, an enterprise and community edition. The enterprise edition contains extra features not found in the community edition. The enterprise edition is obtained through an annual subscription and includes extra support services. Pentaho's core offering is frequently enhanced by add-on products, usually in the form of plugins, from the company itself and also the broader community of users and enthusiasts. The table below summarizes the most popular products and plugins in the Pentaho ecosystem.
