Open-source BI that business departments actually understand. Perfect for the mid-market and self-hostable, but hits its limits with highly complex enterprise data models.
What is Metabase?
Open-source BI that business departments understand. Self-hostable, perfect for the mid-market. We integrate it cleanly into your data architecture and draw a clear boundary to the alternatives.
When it fits, and when it doesn't
A fit when:
- business departments need self-service without SQL
- self-hosting and open source matter
- a mid-market setup applies
Less so when:
- highly complex enterprise models are needed (then Power BI, Tableau)
- pixel-perfect reports are required
- governance across thousands of dashboards matters
What Datascale builds with Metabase
We decide the architecture, then build:
- self-hosted setup on the warehouse
- data models and a self-service layer
- dashboards for the business departments
- permissions and governance
- team training
The full picture lives in the matching service. We integrate and implement Metabase where it's the best fit for your case, not as an end in itself. Related: Audit Sprint.
