I had some experience with Pentaho. What can I tell you? It's exhaustively documented in SPECs, but ones that I couldn't understand how to actually get start using it. It is a huge memory hog, and hogged my then 512 MB memory. I could not understand how much more did it give me besides implementing all this logic myself in Perl, due to the fact it required me to write an exhaustive amount of XML markup. Maybe I'm missing something because I don't know my way around "Business Intelligence" or understand what it is good for. But nevertheless, I was unimpressed.
