Business intelligence your team can use

If “self-serve analytics” gives you flashbacks of dashboards no one reads, broken queries, and just as many pings for ad hoc reports — yeah, this isn’t that.

Query data without writing code

Anyone can explore data, visualize results, and answer their own questions. Built-in drilldowns let anyone click into the “why” behind a chart, or spin up a no-code query with the visual query builder.

From one-size-fits all reports to custom insights

Filter and breakout for deeper context. Share interactive dashboards with your team or embed them in your product for customer-facing reporting. Or let them create their own.

Guide people to the right answers

Craft metadata-rich, semantic models which let people query on their own, keeping things consistent and avoiding repetition. With a single tab open and no CLI needed.

Thanks to Metabase I don’t need to ask an engineer to get me some special data from our customer database, I can make that query on my own and help out the customer in minutes vs hours or days.

Keeps up as you grow

Advanced features for managing lots of users and compliance. From pre-seed to post-IPO.

Multi-tenant data segregation

Granular permissions to make sure people see what they need to, and nothing else.

Secure and simple access

Integrate with SSO IdPs (SAML, LDAP, JWT, Google) and map to Metabase groups.

Drop into SQL

The visual query builder gets you pretty far. When you need an escape hatch into SQL to run raw queries, tweak logic, or join tables, you’re covered.

Track data and dashboard usage

No more unused dashboards. Inspect user behavior across content, data access and downloads.

Keep dashboards snappy

Go faster with result and model caching. No schedulers or pipelines needed.

Test and deploy safely

Spin up staging environments without touching prod. Export configs, models, and dashboards to test or scale across multiple instances.

Analytics that people straight up love

Giving analysts the tools to properly structure, own and curate data and how it’s used directly in Metabase. Love this direction.

The dependency graph is definitely my favorite among all of these. No more time wasted navigating back and forth between pages/models/sql scripts I built months or even years ago to figure out where a number is coming from!
