Metabase

Metabase is a BI tool that’s both functional and beautiful. The UI is intuitive, super clean, and the drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create stunning dashboards without touching a line of code. Love how it connects seamlessly with PostgreSQL—no hiccups.

Metabase is an open-source browser-based BI software that works with many databases including mySQL Mariadb etc. It can be self-hosted so I installed it on-premise for my small company. Its features are relatively simple, but it is easy for a non proficient user to write requests in the tables even without knowledge of SQL or programming language. It is also easy to share and assign data with the team. The weak point of the software is when you export your data, currently emailing doesn’t work well and PDF has limitations. (V0.48). But overall great and useful software for data analysis.

"Metabase: Metabase helps us analyze data effortlessly, turning complex metrics into clear insights that drive our decision-making process."

Tailored functionalities allow for a high degree of personalization, making it suitable for a variety of business needs across industries.

Love Metabase, I think they should invest in features to help companies create a KPI dictionary/glossary

The AI offers precise, actionable insights, delivering detailed reports that inform critical business decisions with remarkable accuracy.

Easy to setup and a perfect tool for your first business intelligence

Just plug-and-play. Run in docker. Free & Open-source.

Metabase has become indispensable to our product workflow at Slytrunk. It is powerful, flexible and reliable, and I would recommend it to any founder without the tens of thousands to spend on Periscope or Domo. It requires some setup, and there is a learning curve, but it's IMO a great investment of time. One thing that could be improved is more product manager focused documentation with cookbooks for common queries, such as those commonly rolled out for Google Analytics (BigQuery).

Simple and straight to the point. Metabase does the simple very well yet allowing complex settings for heavy users.
