“A Forrester Research report on open source business
intelligence (BI) software released yesterday gave high marks to
Actuate’s (NASDAQ: ACTU) commercial distribution of BIRT (the
Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools project).“The report by analysts Boris Evelson and Jeffrey Hammond ranked
open source business intelligence tools according to 157 criteria,
and found that “Actuate BIRT led the pack because of richness of
reporting functionality.“Jaspersoft Enterprise, SpagoBI, Pentaho Enterprise and Pentaho
Community “are close behind and also offer much fuller and broader
BI stack than Actuate BIRT, including extract, transform and load
(ETL) and advanced analytics functionality,” the analysts
wrote.“Pentaho and SpagoBI were the strongest community offerings,
they said, while the community versions of Eclipse BIRT and
Jaspersoft “mostly offer individual BI components that can be used
for embedding BI functionality into applications, but these
frameworks are yet not enterprise-grade fully functional BI
platforms or suites.”
