Pros
Metabase allows us to visualize data coming from different sources, which is crucial when we use different tools producing data.
Cons
(1) Performance: sometimes it takes too long to load and we have to be patient
(2) Visualization could be better: I'm nitpicking but I feel like customization isn't really a possibility here and it could definitely improved

Great user experience, great user management, easy to use and everybody learns quickly how to find the information they need
Pros
It is easy to use and it is cheapYou can make every analysis you need to understand how your business or product is going and get the insights to what to do next
Cons
I believe for more complex analysis you will need a more robust system like TableauSometimes can be slow to load a lot of data but you can work on that in the infrastructure side

Metabase is a great tool if you have analysts proficient in SQL and want a tool you can use to share out across internal and external sources while not requiring too much custom visualization
Pros
Ease of use - metabase is very straightforward to get set up initially and for new users to create basic items
Flexibility with SQL - metabase's best power is still working with it in SQL but the noCode tools are still good as well
Cons
Visualization customizability - there is room to grow on allowing more customization and variety in the visualizations

Overall, we have had a great experience using Metabase and it has really helped our teams to be functional.
Pros
What we loved most about Metabase is how easy it is for non-technical persons to query database and create dashboards.Our main goal of using Metabase was to equip everyone in our team with the ability to get insight into the data they need and Metabase proved to be very useful. We also loved how easy it is to create and edit dashboards, visualize data using different types of charts/graphs and manage collections of dashboards.Another great feature is how you can data from a variety of data sources including Google Analytics!
Cons
If self-hosting, it can be a real pain to set up. The self-hosting guide, while very detailed may not be ideal for everyone. We also had some challenges when connecting our data source as the documentation was not very clear.
