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.
I use Metabase every day. It's an easy-to-use yet powerful analytics tool on top of our database. It simplifies data exploration and reporting for both technical and non-technical users. It would be even better if Metabase could add native integrations with product analytics tools like MixPanel to provide a truly centralized view of all metrics
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 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).
