Startups and Fortune 500 companies trust Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) to prepare data for enterprise use. While the Developer Edition of PDI (formerly called Community Edition) provides a strong foundation, the Enterprise Edition (EE) unlocks powerful integrations, automation, and enterprise-grade enhancements that streamline data processing at scale.

With Pentaho 10.2 EE, you can also take advantage of key Marketplace Plugins (available here on the Customer Support Portal) to take your data workflows to the next level. Let’s explore the many reasons why upgrading to EE and leveraging our wide universe of fully supported plugins is a game-changer.

Scale & Accelerate Processing of Key Enterprise Data Assets

Databricks Bulk Load – High-Volume Data Transfers, Simplified

• Speed up cloud data lake operations by seamlessly loading large datasets into Databricks tables from anywhere in your data estate. This plugin eliminates complex scripting and ensures efficient data ingestion for advanced analytics.

Salesforce Bulk Operations – Optimize Your CRM Data Flow

• Perform high-speed bulk operations on Salesforce objects to sync, update, and migrate records efficiently. Whether integrating customer data or driving automated workflows, this step significantly boosts Salesforce performance in situations with heavy data workloads.

Enhanced Data Connectivity & Streaming

Kafka Plugins: Enterprise-Grade Streaming

• Leverage advanced Kafka capabilities with improved user experience, security, and scalability. This upgrade enables seamless event-driven architectures for real-time data ingestion across your enterprise.

Elasticsearch REST Bulk Insert (v8 Support)

• The latest enhancement allows direct bulk inserts into Elasticsearch 8, enabling faster indexing and more efficient search operations for real-time analytics.

Enable Advanced Analytics & Data Governance

Google Analytics 4 Integration – Better Reporting, Smarter Decisions

• Directly connect to Google Analytics 4, extract key insights, and populate your data warehouse for deeper analysis and improved decision-making.

Open Lineage – End-to-End Data Lineage for Compliance & Trust

Next-Gen Data Transformation & Hierarchical Data Handling

Hierarchical Data Types (HDT): Process JSON & Nested Data with Ease

• PDI has various transformation steps to handle hierarchical data like JSON, but these steps do not scale with the complexity of your org’s data. The new HDT plugin vastly simplifies the processing, conversion, and manipulation of hierarchical structures like JSON, letting you accomplish much more with far fewer transformation steps.
