This software has a lot of new fans with its recently release version 2.0. There are a lot of passionate users of this product willing to share tips. You can see a picture of KETTLE’s very cool and clean GUI interface at Matt Caster’s blog in his announcement Pot to Kettle : you’re version 2.5 now! I am impressed at the forum and articles on the Pentaho website. Interesting observation since this puts the product directly in the firing line for an Informatica patent infringement if they could ever be bothered going after an open source tool. Metadata driven ETL tools are worth their worth in gold because they don’t require code changes in order to fully manage and control the tool. Kettle is 100% metadata based, without requiring any code generation in order to run properly. Alex Fletcher blogging here at ITToolbox started his own Open Source Catalogue: ETL:

The older Kettle does not have as much buzz but it still has its fans. See more press coverage at the Talend blog in Good coverage for v2.0 press launch. InfoWorld is also a fan of the product in Data integration for the masses! But since this article was about enterprise startups you wonder if they are enthusiastic because it is new. I think I’ve found my ETL tool, one suitable for both heavy-duty server-side processing and client-side micro-ETL tasks. Having spent a few hours this weekend getting to know the new Java Project features I’ve come away a Talend fan-boy.

Not as full featured as Pentaho Kettle only supports a limited number of databases and file formats – no SQLite support shock-horror!īut just a few days later having tried the product out he is more enthusiastic: Talend have released a new version of their Open Studio ETL tool. In the blogosphere Gobán Saor says in Talend ETL – A New Contender says: I’ve filled out some sections for Talend and Pentaho and it offers some comparison between the two products. On the OpenMethodology wiki there is a section on open source ETL tools.

In this post I look at Talend Data Integration and Pentaho Data Integration. Over the next few days I will be filling out wiki pages that compare the open source ETL tools.
