Provides robust search capabilities with potential for additional features
The initial deployment of Apache Superset was easy. Its integration is very straightforward. I found that when I chose Elasticsearch, its installation, settings, and integration with my application were also very easy; I could implement everything in just two or three days. It took me only one day to deploy it for the first time because I encountered complexities with the version differences, between version one and version two of Muktopaath. When I upgraded my version, the previous version did not support my new server installation, making it necessary for me to find and implement my previous versions' plugins. Although I could resolve it, I found it easy, aside from the version problem that took additional time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The benefits I have seen from using Apache Superset for the business team are that they have been able to look at the numbers easily, log into the portal, and look at different dashboards, which are at different granularities."
"What I appreciate the most about Apache Superset is that it's free and easy to set up."
"Apache Superset allows us to set up alerts; for instance, if the failure rate exceeds 1.5%, we receive an alert to address the issue with our integration partners."
"The most valuable feature of Apache Superset is the easy way to configure dashboards as reports or analyses and it's easy to use and intuitive. Users do not need a lot of training to use the solution."
"Being able to quickly build standard dashboards around relational data in Apache Superset provides tremendous visibility for everyone on the team."
"The no-code interface is the most valuable as it allows us to operate without constant support from the data engineering team, fostering a self-service environment."
"The solution supports a rich set of charts and enables users to create their own dashboards."
"It is a good visual solution tool in an open-source category."
 

Cons

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities."
"With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users."
"Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility."
"When comparing Apache Superset with Elasticsearch and Solar Search, it lacks some features that come with Elasticsearch, such as Kibana."
"Building a full-fledged product or software as a service might be cumbersome due to performance limitations."
"Dark mode would be the main thing I would like; it does not really work because the chart text cannot be white in a dark mode setup, so it is not feasible."
"The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement."
"Automation in terms of APIs for creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can be improved."
