In my niche this is reporting. We agonize for YEARS about what to do.

Just thinking in what I need to do for this do "properly", ie: I plan to make a language as the base!(https://tablam.org).

Eventually I just install https://www.metabase.com and thanks to sane table + view design the end-users are nearly support-free.

Thanks for Metabase... never seen that before, and looks like it could solve a similar reporting hole in my current project.

Out of interest, did you use the Open Source version. Embedded or standalone?

The open source + standalone. Most reporting (of the kind this is needed) is made by selected user with different needs to the main app, so it work for us.

Interesting. Thanks.

did you try apache superset? if so, any reason you went w metabase?

Have recently tried both, my guess is the "sane table + view design the end-users are nearly support-free" is key. Superset is way way more complicated and hard to understand IMO.

I don't know about that option. For metabase, was the UI that our support rep think easier to get ;)
