It might change the way I look at the Internet: I did not know it started up that early. And it reminded me the time when most people did not have access to the internet; my first browsing a few years ago. But the purpose of this comment is not to talk about myself but to ask a question about OSBI and certain programs I have to choose. As written in the post, I have looked at applications you write about and others. So far I am pretty fond of two programs: Talend and Pentaho. It is difficult to make a choice when it comes to the performance, the compatibility and the components of the software. But a difference can be made by comparing the GUI which might be more user-friendly with Talend Open Studio: I especially like the tmap component in Talend Open Studio, a really good way to get a graphical and functional view of integration processes. The tool also has a good debugging system and an active community able to help you. Have some of you tried it out? Thanks for the post and the interesting interview you had with Seth.
