四个开源商业智能平台比较(六)

转自：http://www.iteye.com/topic/73374

roadmap是一个项目的计划表，个人认为任何一个项目都应该有的，这样你的developer能够知道自己工作的项目处在什么状态，也不至于每天都在没日没夜的忙，却不知道自己在忙什么，这样更能够提高团队的士气。

openI的roadmap我好像是看到过了的，但是等我去找的时候却没有了，所以直接跳过，如果有哪位朋友看到了，也请麻烦告诉我一声。

JasperSoft

我找到的这一篇是November 2006的，找了半天也没找到最新的，它是分各个不同组件的，我挑一些说一下：

1 。 Many components of JasperIntelligence are localizable. We are doing a pass through to make sure localization works at all levels.

2 。 Dashboards Multiple reports and OLAP components displayed in a single screen

3 . Portal (JSR168) integration: portlets, security

4 . Report data sources in all JR query languages, including Mondrian and XML/A

5 . Scheduling Enhanced UI for scheduling management

6 . JasperAnalysis Filtering views according to user profile, not just role

7. JasperAnalysis Visual Schema Builder

Visual MDX builder

JasperETL是基于talend的，所以不在我讨论之列。

1 可以看出jaspersoft的全球化的意图，实际这也是每一个成熟项目都需要面对的。

2 DashBoard是BI展现层技术比较集中的一个地方。我本身没有看过jaspersoft的DashBoard。

3 . portal是BI展现层不可避免要用到的技术，后面我也会就portal专门有一个篇比较的

4. data warehouse 也是支持越来越广泛。

5. 任务调度必不可少

6. 基于profile的参数控制也算是基于权限控制的另一种途径。因为普通的权限控制不可能满足BI的要求，太多的参数要管理了

7. Visual , Visual , Visual 不知道它的MDX怎么做的，如果跟JPivot一样就..................

pentaho的roadmap，官方甚至说没有commitment（许诺),仍然挑几条：

1. Accelerate dashboard creation by delivering a dashboard design tool.

2. Business users will be able to select from subject areas predefined by administrator and apply filters (for example, certain time periods or product lines) to select the subset of information they need.

3. Wizard-driven interfaces to streamline the deployment and optimization of OLAP cubes .

4. Easily incorporate data from multiple sources into Pentaho Data Mining solutions via Pentaho Data Integration.

5. Offer integration with Content Management Systems (CMS) to store and manage access to generated reports.

这是一个总的它的roadmap，它的各个组件还有各自自己的roadmap.

1. 用DashBoard Design tool来做Dashboard，易用性又提高不少，pentaho喜欢把tool做成基于eclipse的tools,spagoBI则是喜欢模块化的设计，都基于web + plugin模式.

2. 预定义的filter，最后大家都可以共享和分发filter,有点像社交社区的功能

3. 用wizard-driven的方式来建cube，OLAP的功能会越来越厉害的，JPivot的不爽的另一种表现（挑拨离间我最在行，开玩笑的，大家别当真）

4. 我也不懂什么意思，pentaho论坛上也有人问了，没有回答

怎么集成的，怎样data mining , 集成到哪了，kettle吗？只有等release才知道

5. 终于还是要动用CMS来解决问题了，spagoBI在这点上领先一点.

spagoBI

spagoBI的roadmap看了会让你非常的惊讶，为了表示我对spagoBI这个雄心勃勃的项目的尊敬，贴出全部roadmap(加了数字）

First half 2007

Analytical engines and end-user functions

1 ETL: integration of Talend OS tool

2 OLAP: new OLAP engine for web based analysis or local spreadsheet elaboration - Integration of Palo/JPalo OS tool

3 OLAP: new XMLA engine, to integrate MS Analysis Services

4 QbE: profiling and filtering over data according to the behavioural model

5 Dashboard: enrichment and new components

6 Personal folders to storage private documents and the possibility of sharing them

7 Personal menus of quick access to all kind of documents

Developer/administrator functions

8 Scheduler: production, distribution and storage of off-line reporting, deferred execution of documentary Dossiers, Mining or ETL processes

9 Search engine

10 Predefined set of metadata to implement frequently used time parameters (ex. current month, current year, current date)

11 Self-analysis: analytical model developed with the SpagoBI platform on its own metadata. This model offers the developer/administrator the full visibility on the behavioural model and on the analytical metamodel managed by the platform.

12 Rich client (Ajax) for the developer and administrator functions

13 Designers: enrichment and simplification of the interactions with the platform for the development of the analytical documents

14 Evolution of the platform towards SOA architecture

15 Metamodel

Second half 2007

Analytical engines and end-user functions

16 Dashboard: new engine

17 Subscription: capability for the end-user to enter himself to the periodic delivery of predefined reporting.

18 Alerts and notifications

19 Geo-referenced analysis: improvement of the current engine and integration of GIS solutions

20 Navigation profile, to inherit settings during the vertical and cross navigation between the analytical areas and documents

Developer/administrator functions

21 Installer and end-user interface for the configuration of the environment

22 Rich client (Ajax) for the developer and administrator functions

23 Designers: enrichment and simplification of the interactions with the platform for the development of the analytical documents

24 Evolution of the platform towards SOA architecture

25 Metamodel

Applicatory development areas

* What-if

* BPM

有很多人认为 pentaho有多么多么厉害，证据呢？能告诉我厉害在哪些方面吗？这个roadmap也许会给你一个不一样的答案pentaho宣传做的很好，有microsoft的风格，有什么都展现出来

spagoBI更像是一个默默努力的developer,技术一流，不懂的展现自己。

2和3是支持新的OLAP Server的，Mondrian可不是唯一的选择。

4. 跟pentaho一样基于profiling，只不过spagoBI有自己的behavioural model(行为模式) ,比pentaho厉害一点

5 . pentaho的DashBoard注重在易用性方面，spagoBI 则是强调在功能上

6 和 7.pentaho的cms只是一个plan,spagoBI已经在做private folder和共享文档了，还有导航，技术又高一点.

8. mining ETLprocess ，后面我会在ETL的部分提到的

9 . Search Engine 基于lucene的search，cms一部分

10 .跟pentaho一样，常用的查询预先定义

18. 用户通知方式的加强.不知道会不会有 RSS的方式

19 . GEO 的查询快要和GIS集成了，十分期待，不知道会不会一样引用Google的API或是仍然基于原先的SVG.

21 - 25都是为用户易用性和更好的用户体验做的增强.

这篇文档有很多的英文，英文不好的朋友可以下载一个星际译王，emule上面有个绿色版，如果你不想麻烦的话，这也是个不错的选择.还是建议大家学好英文呀，看英文文档很方便的，最近跟美国那边的客户交流要搞死我了，长期不知道是他们的口音重还是我的词汇不够，同事也跟我一样一头的包，努力努力再努力，睡觉是为了努力工作，努力工作是为了安心的睡觉.

睡觉去了，ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz..............
