Self Service BI with Metabase

  • June 06, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up and operate.
The business team can easily build queries with a user-friendly interface and be autonomous on BI.
You can create alerts to send reports by emails, messages or slack.
It is free!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some types of graphics and reports are limited, compared with paid tools from the competition.
Does not work and scale very well with NO SQL databases (like MongoDB), but is very good with SQL databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is our primary internal BI platform.
As it is free and very user-friendly we had a fast ROI and didn't need to train the business team on how to use it.
It took some load from our Dev team, as they don't have to build most queries and reports anymore.

Best Tool for Data Analysis and working in Teams

  • May 29, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The fact that Metabase can be downloaded for free as open-source software makes it one of the databases that can be accessed with the least amount of effort, and this feature of Metabase is the one that is the most important. In addition to this, I enjoy that it is compatible with a number of other programming languages, such as SQL and others. This is something else that I find quite useful. Creating SQL scripts and incorporating them into projects is a procedure that may be described as being rather simple. It is always the application that I turn to first since it provides a wide range of different customization options that may be adapted to satisfy a wide variety of work-related requirements.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no possibility to filter the data, and there are severe issues with scalability; whenever I input a massive dataset, the program lags behind much too much. On the other hand, considering that it is a utility that runs on open-source software, this behavior is permissible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was able to make full use of the data visualisation features that it provided, and overall, this application is quite astounding because of how easy it was to use. It proved to be extremely useful for me when I was working in my firm on a wide variety of student data, and I used it.

Magic and Easy!

  • March 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Simple and custom questions make it extremely easy to put thoughts into application even for non-technical users. For more technical users, the ability to convert advanced questions into sql queries is magic. Then being able to turn the queries into various visuals is invaluable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are minor bugs like limited color selections and the occasional confusing error but overall, this is a great tool that only gets better each day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Any problem that our business has currently is being solved with Metabase. From user queries to hardware monitoring, Metabase helps generate valuable insights we would not have otherwise.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! It is a great tool, open-source, and easy to use/learn.

Metabase for DB Management & Visualization

  • January 12, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It allows less-techy users to understand a Database in an easier way. It enables common business users to visualize data directly from the database and require less input from the IT teams for data access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it feels like the software is in "beta" mode. That is only the UX/UI. More data visualization abilities would take it to the next level. Maybe even direct connections to PowerBI etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data access and availability. Understanding our databases and allowing access to citizen data scientiests in the company. Executive dashboards with minimal ETL and direct from source.

    Logistics and Supply Chain

Great tool for business analytics & reporting

  • November 30, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I used the free app to connect to our SQL database and produce some reports that were a real insight into certain aspects of the business. It was intuitive for a user with minor technical ability to produce some basic queries and present the data in visually pleasing charts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the data would not present in the manner I wanted, e.g. inverted axis, or trying to build more complex queries and join database tables took a bit of trial and error. This is probably more user error than app capability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our business lacked comprehensive data analytics that gave real insight into the business and trends. Metabase allowed us to begin the journey and see what more powerful BI tools can deliver to help understand the business at a deeper level.

UI/UX can be made more interactive and appealing
