Metabase is an open source solution for sharing, visualizing, and analyzing data without having to deal with a complex workflow. The utility enables you to filter content via an user-friendly interface, and can transform data into easy to read graphs in no time.

Metabase can connect with H2, MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Amazon Redshift, SQLite, and SQL database servers in order to import datasets for further analysis. You can do that when you first setup the application, or navigate to the Administration panel and add datasets as you go along.

Note that Metabase can also be installed on a server, which means that you can share its capabilities with all members of your team. Each user will be able to see the questions created by the others, hence getting a new perspective on things.

To use Metabase to analyze data, you must begin by asking questions: the app allows you to create custom filters by using handy buttons and drop down menus, and displays the results almost instantly.

Metabase integrates numerous visualization modes (number, table, line, bar, pie, area, state/country map), and you get to select the one that best suits your data. The questions can be saved to specific Dashboards, which means that you can group related queries and review them at a later time.

Metabase also monitors your activity and posts the latest status updates on the home board. This way, if you share Metabase with others, you can easily keep track of each other.

Metabase proposes a well-organized user interface for visualizing and analyzing datasets stored on various servers. You get to set up filters without manually typing SQL commands, and the results can be quickly transposed into graphs.

Moreover, Metabase can be deployed on a server so you can share all the data with the other members of your team, and also gain access to their queries.
