    Apache Superset is a Data Visualization and Data Exploration Platform

  • I recently ran a little shootout between Superset, Metabase, and Lightdash. All have nontrivial weaknesses but I ended up picking Lightdash.

    Superset the best of them at _data visualization_ but I honestly found it almost useless for self-serve _BI_ by business users. This issue on how to do joins in Superset (with stalebot making a mess XD) is everything difficult about Superset for BI in a nutshell. https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/8645

    Metabase is pretty great and it's definitely the right choice for a startup looking to get low cost BI set up. It still has a very table centric view, but feels built for _BI_ rather than visualization alone.

    Lightdash has significant warts (YAML, pivoting being done in the frontend, no symmetric aggregates) but the Looker inspiration is obvious and it makes it easy to present _groups of tables_ to business users ready to rock. I liked Looker before Google acquired it. My business users are comfortable with star and snowflake schemas (not that they know those words) and it was easy to drop Lightdash on top of our existing data warehouse.
