Excellent BI solution, with great UX and awesome community
What do you like best about the product?
It has a great UX and is very straightforward to use, and advanced users can easily drop into SQL if needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
That not many people know about it, so whenever I bring it to a new company there is some resistance from folks that prefer other brands that invest more in marketing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating plots, tables and dashboards with SQL to share data visualizations with my team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out, as the onboarding setup is a breeze. It even runs on Heroku, which is great for a small company/department.
Here we run it on a more elaborate setup with App Engine Flex, as over 100 people are using it.

I do not dislike anything about metabase as of now.

Open source, super powerful data visualisation tool
What do you like best about the product?
It is free. Functionality is very powerful, supports almost all data sources you would like to connect to it. Bugs are getting fixed quickly, a lot of updates with new functionality. Really love their answers section.
What do you dislike about the product?
Canvas for dashboards is limited. Can't blend data coming from different data sources. In case if data is stored in a different database you first need to pre-process it in some sort of DWH before getting connected to Metabase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The "Answers" feature is super nice allowing users to create and store data queries "answering" some specific questions. You can also re-use saved answers in dashboards later.
Alert to Slack is also very helpful. Allowing you immediately (once an hour) to get an update once there is a potential problem with data.

What do you dislike about the product?
1. The GUI tool is very basic/ minimal. This restricts its use to only technically sound users i.e. those with SQL coding knowledge.
2. Implementing newer versions is difficult :( It breaks a few of the existing functionalities.
3. The drag-drop experience of elements in dashboard view can be better.

Goto tool for dashboard and analysis
What do you like best about the product?
It's one of the easy to use tool for making a dashboard. Writing SQL queries in it is very easy and also it's very fast which makes the analysis fast.
The dashboard can be modified in to various forms like table or any chart. It has multiple options to modify the chart and thus serves the purpose of visualisation tool as well. It's easy to connect with different databases and query to get the output. It also tracks the edition history which really helps in keeping the track of the creator of dashboards and the details of modification done. Also it serves the purpose of visualisation tool for easy tracking of various KPIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
Servers are sometimes not very responsive and lacks some chart visualisation tools. If these Things are modified and implemented this would really make it the best tool for dashboards.

With the help of metabase we've really solved the day to day problems of ecommerce and it has helped us in tracking the daily numbers of the business.

It has helped in improving the skills and made analysis easier and with it's intuitive user interface anyone can make a dashboard of their requirements very easily and in less time.
Easily create dashboards for your teams
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best is that Metabase is a free yet powerful solution to build dashboards that the teams within a company can get insights from. And if you have a team that is curious about data and want to create their own dashboards and learn about the business asking their own questions you can allow them to do that in and simple way.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like is that sometimes it takes more time than I expected to show or refresh the data. It might be because of the amount of data we have but this is something that bothers me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed something to empower the teams with data and Metabase helped us with that. The main benefit for the company was that all teams could easily access information about the business without needing to ask the data team all the time.
Powerful Usability but LOW computing power
What do you like best about the product?
It is super easy to share with team members both on queries and also findings in real-time. It came super handy to check live stats with the whole organization and empower non-data folks. It also offers cool visualizations options to show results, which can serve as a nice reporting function. The Dashboard organization functionality is also helpful to keep things organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
The LOW computing power. For large/complicated queries, sometimes it will never come back. The most annoying part is that the message on screen is 'Doing Science', while that screen could run in HOURS and then popped up an error message. This part is a huge limitation to its usage.
Also, the query writing/drafting isn't good - it can't fold subquery or highlight indexing like other tools.

The DIY Free BI tool for teams.
What do you like best about the product?
Metabase is free to use BI tool which is easy to setup. It has a drag and drop interface as well as a SQl writer where queries can be written for advanced users. Access can be given across teams along with specific permissions. The tools is highly recommended for startups since it is free to use and self deployable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although we are using a free to use self deployed version, There is less of data visualization thus it makes users to use separate tools to create visualization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Metabase allows us to decentralize reporting by creating relevant questions and giving access to various teams based on their needs.
The key benefits is teams can see and download relevant data for reviews by their own without depending on engineering or business analysts.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
it's a great, bare-bones, affordable tool. gives you what you need if it's just looking at company metrics, but you need to be able to ask the right questions/define the issue. our data analyst does a lot to make the information easily digestible across the company - had heaps of info in the past and it wasn't that well organized. visualization helps a lot across the organization.
Great to make queues and workflows
What do you like best about the product?
Our CRM is custom built so doesn't have all the formatting we would like. Metabase helps create and manage lists for our sales team.
What do you dislike about the product?
Updates to stats are delayed and even slow to load.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows us an external tool for easier outreach and tracking
