It is flexible but Java-heavy to extend, and self-managing it is an ongoing burden. Integrate.io replaces it with a fully managed platform, and our migration tool converts your transformations and jobs so you keep the logic without keeping the maintenance. ## How we migrate you off Pentaho The migration tool does the mechanical work, our Solution Engineers do the rest. 1. 1 ### Assess We inventory your Pentaho setup from an export or its configuration, so nothing is missed before the move. 2. 2 ### Map Every Pentaho component and connection is matched to its Integrate.io equivalent. 3. 3 ### Convert The migration tool rebuilds your jobs and translates the logic automatically. Anything it cannot translate with confidence is flagged for a Solution Engineer. 4. 4 ### Validate We run both platforms in parallel and compare outputs before you commit. 5. 5 ### Cut over Your current setup keeps running until the new pipelines are proven, then you switch over with a Solution Engineer alongside you. ## Why teams leave Pentaho ### Java-heavy to extend Extending Kettle means Java and plugin knowledge that is harder to hire for every year, and custom steps become code only a few people can maintain. ### Self-managed runtime You own the servers, JVM upgrades, plugins, and patching, plus the troubleshooting when a job fails overnight. ### Upgrades are projects Moving between major Pentaho versions means testing every transformation and plugin again, so teams often stay on older releases longer than they should. ## What transfers, and what we finish by hand The tool is designed to flag anything it cannot translate with confidence rather than guess, so a Solution Engineer gets a clear worklist. How much converts automatically depends on your export and how your jobs are built, and a free dry run shows you before you commit. ### The tool converts automatically - Transformation steps map to Integrate.io components. - Job entries and their flow are rebuilt into pipelines. - Database and file connections are parsed and wired up. ### What our Solution Engineers finish - Custom scripting steps (JavaScript / Java), which are flagged for rebuild. - Custom plugins that need a native equivalent. - Connection credentials and environment settings. ## Integrate.io vs Pentaho | | Integrate.io | Pentaho | | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Pricing model | Flat $1,999/month, unlimited data, pipelines, and connectors. | Open-source core, paid enterprise edition and support. | | Migration help | Automated converter plus a white-glove Solution Engineer team. We do it for you. | Manual rebuild in Spoon or Pipeline Designer. | | Ease of use | Visual pipeline builder, with SQL and Python when you need them. | Visual designer, but Java-heavy to extend. | | Deployment | Fully managed cloud, nothing to run or maintain. | Self-managed on-premises or cloud VMs. | Still weighing your options?

Free dry run ## See what converts before you commit Share a sample of your Pentaho setup and we will run it through the migration tool and send back a migration report: what converts automatically, what a Solution Engineer finishes, and a scoped plan. No commitment. [Request a Free Dry Run](https://www.integrate.io/demo/) ## Ready to move off Pentaho? Talk to a Solution Engineer. We will run the converter against your Pentaho setup and map a clean path onto Integrate.io.

[Book a Demo →](https://www.integrate.io/demo/) Will my Kettle transformations transfer? Yes. The migration tool maps Pentaho transformation steps and job entries to Integrate.io components and rebuilds the flow into runnable pipelines. Custom scripting steps are flagged for a Solution Engineer to rebuild. Do I still have to manage servers after migrating? No. Integrate.io is fully managed, so there are no Kettle engines, servers, or upgrades to maintain once you have moved. What about custom plugins? Custom plugins are inventoried in your migration report so we can build native equivalents in Integrate.io during the white-glove phase. ## Other migrations [![Talend logo](https://www.integrate.io/images/compare/competitors/talend.png)Talend](https://www.integrate.io/migrations/talend/) [![Jitterbit logo](https://www.integrate.io/images/compare/competitors/jitterbit.png)Jitterbit](https://www.integrate.io/migrations/jitterbit/) [![SSIS logo](https://www.integrate.io/images/compare/competitors/ssis.png)SSIS](https://www.integrate.io/migrations/ssis/) [![Informatica logo](https://www.integrate.io/images/compare/competitors/informatica.png)Informatica](https://www.integrate.io/migrations/informatica/) [See all migrations](https://www.integrate.io/migrations/#tools)
