Make sense of your data, without writing a single line of SQL.
You know the frustration if you’ve ever waited days for a data analyst to answer a fundamental business question. You should be able to explore your data without jumping through hoops. That’s where Metabase comes in.
We use Metabase to help teams like yours quickly turn raw data into clear, actionable insights. Whether building internal dashboards or embedding analytics into a customer-facing product, Metabase gives you the tools to do it all without getting buried in complexity.
So, what is Metabase?
Metabase is an open-source business intelligence (BI) tool that makes data accessible to everyone. Instead of writing SQL queries or building custom dashboards from scratch, you use an intuitive point-and-click interface to explore your data. And if you know SQL, you still have full access under the hood.
It’s built for teams of all sizes, from early-stage startups to large enterprises, and it works just as well for daily reports as embedded product analytics.
What You Can Do with Metabase
Query Without SQL
You can start asking questions about your data instantly. With Metabase’s Visual Query Builder, select your table, filter what you need, and choose how to display it. Want to group by region or filter by date? Just a few clicks. You’ll see trends, comparisons, and KPIs take shape, no SQL required.
If you’re more technical, Metabase also gives you a powerful SQL editor with support for variables, reusable snippets, and native queries.
Build Interactive Dashboards
Once you’ve created a few questions, it’s time to turn them into a dashboard. You can drag and drop visualizations into a layout that makes sense for your team. Add filters, enable drill-downs, and customize visualizations using over 15 chart types, bar charts, line graphs, maps, funnels, tables, and more.
Need to share insights? Send scheduled emails, share links, or push alerts to Slack.
Embed Analytics in Your Product
Metabase has you covered if you’re building a product that needs analytics. You can embed dashboards, individual charts, or even the full Metabase app into your UI. Choose from secure JWT-signed embeds or a faster iframe setup.
And yes, you can style everything to match your brand. No custom dev work is needed.
Control Access and Define Metrics
Metabase isn’t just user-friendly, it’s secure and structured, too. You can define key metrics, manage who sees what, and control access by role or group. With data modeling tools, you create a shared language around your data so everyone works from the exact definition.
