Embedded analytics solutions allow you to put your customers’ data - and datasets that are relevant to them - in front of them, with as much or as little analytics functionality as you want. Without investing countless months and resources into building your own analytics solution. Many startups through to enterprise level companies use embedded analytics to get to proof of concept in just a couple of weeks, and work with people who build analytics solutions for a living so they can focus on the goals of their business.
When it comes to choosing an embedded analytics tool, it depends on how much or how little analytics capabilities you want to offer your customers, how fast you need to get going, and how much budget you have. The key features of an embedded analytics tool include:
- Embed charts and visualizations as iframes with a snippet.
- Embed dashboards with more advanced filtering and click-through analytics capabilities.

With Metabase, you get the best of embedded BI with affordable pricing, and ungated access to technical help from the customer success engineers.
There’s no right or wrong answers here. It will generally depend on your use case, how much you want your customers and end users to be able to learn from data and run reports on their own without depending on your data team; your preferred data stack, how fast you need to get up and running, your budget, and more.
Again, there’s no “right” answer, but just sayin’ - Metabase is user-friendly to let everyone on your team get real-time insights from data. It works well with all of your datasets and preferred data tools (from data sources, data preparation, and semantic layering tools). It gets up and running in 5 minutes flat. And pricing is suited to all budgets (and you can try it for free).
Teams who have used Tableau, Microsoft’s Power BI, Google’s Looker, Domo, Sisense, Sigma and other embedded BI platforms now choose Metabase as it lets their customers and business users self-service analytics. User-friendly drag-and-drop data analytics lets people run ad hoc reports on their own and get actionable insights without needing SQL or a data analytst.
Metabase lets people ask questions with or without needing to know SQL. The intuitive Query Builder lets non-technical or data savvy people put together analyses with clicks - no SQL necessary. A promise made by many analytics tools, but not always delivered. Analysts and data people who prefer to write SQL can fill their boots in the SQL editor.
