Likelihood to Recommend
Getting data using query with multiple joins is very fast with Metabase, and role-based access to the reports can be provided to users. The only place it lags right now is the filter for page and page size. This comes with great support for container-based deployment and on-system deployment, too. I did both container and system direct installation, and direct deployment became a bit challenging. On the other hand, it really provides very good support for data representation.

Usability
The tool serves as the purpose of what we were looking for. I am giving us eight because it is cumbersome and needs separate deployment on production; otherwise, it creates memory issues for small servers. Apart from this, this is an excellent tool, providing data features some analysts want. Its backend is heavy, but it works pretty smoothly on front-end users.

  • So as far as investment its just the time you need to give and done.
  • You can host Redash on your server and just pay as you go.
  • There isn't much investment but a lot of things will be solved around reporting and charting.
