I've never heard of Metabase. From the GitHub page, I can see it's very popular and looks great!
I'm watching videos on their website and it looks like, that Metabase uses browser as a front end, SkyAlt is native. I'm not sure If you can create/edit tables/columns in Metabase, it looks more like a "import data and create dashboards". SkyAlt is more like Airtable meets Tableau.
- infinitone 7y agoCorrect metabase is readonly. And i think thats a good thing. For BI tools such as these you have many types of users and generally want it to be strictly readonly.
- mahesh_rm 7y agoYes. But you have some users that want writetoo. Nice to have the option.
- milansuk 7y agoRight now, SkyAlt can't write to the remote databases and in the future, it will be able to write only data, not change a structure(create/remove columns, etc.). This will lead to the option to build internal tools. Adding dashboards and writing to remote databases should be easy to program, but right now I focus on stability, usability and documentation for current features.
