Not a fan of the UX
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it's more secure for my company and deployable from the cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not intuitive at all, there's not a simple button where you can just run a query it takes multiple clicks. The output is definitely not as nice as Navicat, even figuring out how to download the csv file isn't intuitive. I also don't like that the process to save/edit queries is so tedious. I also really really dislike that to reference the different tables in our database is in a whole different iteration. In our Navicat tool queries/tables were in different tabs so it was easy to cross-reference the data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data security for our database.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I guess if you're not used to another product it's fine, but I prefer our old tool much more.
Metabase expirience
What do you like best about the product?
Its a multitasking tool that can be setup faster and allows to get multi data of diferent metrics
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it tents to change the url and it gets an error
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The metrics for activations creations and others
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool for use of data and tracking the metrics of the day
Falls short, pretty frustrating
What do you like best about the product?
The queries are all online, so I can access them from anywhere without having to have a specific software on my computer. I can run queries from basically anywhere as long as I have my log-in info. I also like the auto-fill feature when typing queries since our data is quite large and we have a LOT of tables and columns.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of things. The fact that it's in the browser means I can't easily switch between queries like I could in a desktop program. It's also kind of pain to make edits and save changes, and because it's in the browser I don't have all the keyboard shortcuts I'd have with a desktop program. What's more, you're unable to have more than one table in one query, so I had to split all of my queries up and now I have to switch between them frequently, meaning I generally have a dozen Metabase tabs open. We were also hoping that having everything online would mean that we could share queries easily between team members, but that also doesn't seem to be the case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SQL queries and data mining. We have access to all of our tables in one place, and we're able to run queries in an online setting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Save all your queries remotely so they're easy to access. I also recommend making a bookmark for each query you use frequently since trying to access them back and forth on the platform is annoying. Also CTRL-ENTER replaces CRTL-R as run query.
METABASE learns to understand your data!
What do you like best about the product?
To be able to ask questions to the system about the company's data, and that can simply organize, filter and learn without the strict need to do it through a line of SQL. You can also go from the data, to graphs and tables that present the data in an easy way with just a few clicks.
You can get a "real time" view of what the company is learning from your data, this helps people in the company, its users, find an answer, start their own exploration or improve existing questions.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far it only offers three open source software (servers) to deploy and run the data within its system: Docker, in Amazon AWS, Heroku or the simplest way through java -jar metabase.jar, but if there is no experience in the use of the latter to configure the emptying of data can be frustrating for the user, could be extended to other existing ones.
During the data upload you can experience faults or brief system crashes that are external to Metabase, however, they make it difficult to transfer the data.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
All the data related to sales, requests and services offered weekly are evaluated in this platform given the growing inflation in my country (Venezuela) to allow visualizing the evolution of the company's income and expenses in a more fluid and dynamic way. The benefits that it has brought the power to review this data weekly has allowed to make decisions on the monetary investment of the weekly orders and the adjustment of the prices of the products offered to our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The dashboards of the platform are very simple to use, they are constantly improving. A great advantage is that they are open source and there is a significant saving when evaluating not having to buy a license or renew it at a high price. Metabase is also available in Spanish and Portuguese, that gives an enormous advantage for companies regardless of their size in Latin America to incorporate their use and management.
Open-source advantage with performance lags
What do you like best about the product?
For less amount of data, it works superb, there is no lag, nothing. It's UI is intuitive and performance is also pretty good.
What do you dislike about the product?
For large amount of data, it gets stuck. Data import from other softwares is a real pain. Queries take forever to run if the backend data is huge!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tracking the most important product-metrics via Metabase dashboards. There were quite a lot of benefits until the point our data was less and there were less people interacting with Metabase.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Only consider this software if your data is not huge, otherwise not recommended!
Metabase
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Metabase allows me to share business intelligence amongst co-workers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don’t dislike anything, the software is very beneficial to companies such as mine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A benefit is that my business can easily share intelligence and analytics faster than before!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very easy to use!
Functionally sufficient
What do you like best about the product?
Non-devs in our company are able to view reports to understand usage data of our software.
What do you dislike about the product?
You can't build questions that pull from multiple sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need a way for the rest of our company to answer questions they have about customer usage and health without it taking dev time away from our sprints. They have that visibility now but it still takes dev time to write the questions in metabase.
Metabase is great!
What do you like best about the product?
Metabase is such a cool online tool for businesses and it really allows businesses to grow. It requires you to learn and code, but once you know what you are looking forward, the data possibilities are endless. I think that overall, Metabase is a great service and we use it at a start-up company and it really has changed the way we report data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think because there is not a lot of storage or abilities to house the data, sometimes the links break and the data is "N/A" - Aside from that, which might be our companies error as we are using Metabase constantly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Overall, a new way to present data and to bring data to the forefront that would not be possible with other services.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just keep pushing forward.
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you have the options to set up simple filters as well as writing your own query.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the error messaging was more specific. It would be nice to highlight the portion of your SQL is creating the issue so that you could quickly pinpoint the problem instead of having to hunt for the exact character position specified.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps with ad-hoc reporting and keeping track of daily, weekly, monthly metrics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Learn SQL.
Great Cloud Product for Data
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to input and implement data into Metabase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the reporting is difficult to get to what I want to see and I have to play with the data a lot to get the actual result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Use it to maintain data throughout the company.
