superset
Pilot it+431 this week★ 74,461 · 18,170 forks
A self-hosted business-intelligence platform: dashboards, charts and SQL exploration over your existing databases.
Worth a timeboxed spike before you bet on it.
Who it's for
Teams outgrowing spreadsheets whose data already lives in a proper database and who have someone comfortable with SQL.
What it replaces
Per-viewer pricing on a hosted BI tool.
The catch
It is a serious system to deploy and keep upgraded. Under about ten people, a hosted tool is cheaper once you price your own hours.
Your first hour
Price the hosted alternative for your seat count first. If the gap is under a few hundred a month, do not self-host.
