Great user experience, great user management, easy to use and everybody learns quickly how to find the information they need

It is easy to use and it is cheapYou can make every analysis you need to understand how your business or product is going and get the insights to what to do next

I believe for more complex analysis you will need a more robust system like TableauSometimes can be slow to load a lot of data but you can work on that in the infrastructure side

Metabase is omnipresent in our company: everybody uses it everyday for one thing or another here. It was very easy to implement and we were able to offer great analytics quickly with it. It is not the most advanced tool avaliable, but it offers amazing value as an open source product. It is difficult for us to move away from it because its very expensive competitors offer very little comparatively.

I love that Metabase is open source and extremely easy to implement. It also offer somewhat advanced features considering its simplicity (like email and slack integrations). I also like the fact that it is a SQL first tool and doesn't require any specific knowledge to use. If you can use SQL you can use Metabase to amazing results and give your company great BI. As an open-source product, Metabase is also constantly evolving: each update comes with new features that are useful for us.

I believe has efforts in building a metrics and self-service analytics layer (like Looker) but is not very well integrated with the product and seems very complicated to use. Also some of the features have bugs, but most of the time they are fixed very quickly.

I hate it and would not recommend it. Bad.

Easy to ask simple questions using their 'visual' SQL editor

Absolutely terrible for everything else, ESPECIALLY dashboard creation.

you're able to generate a wide variety of data

it requires coding skills in order to generate useful data

Overall, we have had a great experience using Metabase and it has really helped our teams to be functional.

What we loved most about Metabase is how easy it is for non-technical persons to query database and create dashboards.Our main goal of using Metabase was to equip everyone in our team with the ability to get insight into the data they need and Metabase proved to be very useful. We also loved how easy it is to create and edit dashboards, visualize data using different types of charts/graphs and manage collections of dashboards.Another great feature is how you can data from a variety of data sources including Google Analytics!

If self-hosting, it can be a real pain to set up. The self-hosting guide, while very detailed may not be ideal for everyone. We also had some challenges when connecting our data source as the documentation was not very clear.
