A elegant,fast and easy to setup reporting tool
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The Redash is used as an internal reporting and querying tool for our
internal management data including monthly financial reports, incident
reports, security reports as well as incidents monthly reports. Since it's
not the most powerful reporting engine, it's mostly restricted to give
quick small queryable results and does not serve as a very big data source.
Pros
- Great Query Editor with Autocomplete feature
- Very easy to setup and quickly connect to variety of data sources
- Quick Dashboards with Simple UI which can be easily shareable
Cons
- Dash boarding feature can be improved with complex logic and parametrized filters
- It's not a easy BI tool if we don't know SQL but relies on UI features
- User Management Module can be improved as basic level of segregation is there.
Return on Investment
- It's not that expensive compared to other reporting utilities
- Easier to setup and does not require lot of people to operate
- Helps in lot of reporting and querying workflows

Easy Dashboarding with Redash
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Like any business, we are also required to have different kinds of reports for sales, marketing, and even at tech department. To create different reports for different people and then creating a frontend to view those reports then updating automatically is a big headache. But with Redash you can just query and create different reports as well charts and share across teams.
Pros
- Great SQL editor easy to use
- The setup instructions are clear and anybody can set it up easily.
- Drag and drop to create different dashboards and resize them.
Cons
- You need to have a good command over SQL to use Redash but if there could be some way where people can just pull data and do slice dice.
- It would be nice to have an excel kind of filters when all data is fetched.
- Some things like easy to customise the column names.
Return on Investment
- 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.
