I second this. I've deployed Metabase once and almost immediately requests for data started coming out of the woodwork, from folks who previously had no knowledge of what kind of information was available or how to ask for it. Visibility is called that for a reason.
It's also really easy to self-host. Download the .jar. Whack it on a machine with a wireguard VPN and a route to the DB or somewhere suitable in the cloud. Create a read-only credential. Letsencrypt it & bless it with a DNS name, ideally with some internal-only IP address. Invite your boss to view some live stats on what's happening with the live product. Wait a day or so for them to request that some other underling also gets access or that some Metabase query gain some formal role in a business process. Also watch them have the best week of their manager life, with every kind of stat at their fingertips.
