Reviewer scorecard
“The best open-source BI tool. Self-host for free, connect to any database, and non-technical users can build queries.”
“Separate compute/storage architecture scales independently. Snowpark and data sharing enable modern data architectures.”
“Free, self-hostable, and the visual query builder actually works for non-SQL users. Essential for data democratization.”
“Expensive at scale and credits pricing is confusing. DuckDB + Parquet handles more analytics than people realize.”
“Clean dashboard design and embedding make it easy to share insights. The UI is intuitive for non-technical teams.”
“The data cloud concept — sharing and collaborating on data — is where enterprise analytics is heading.”
