Dave, founder of Chartio here. We're so excited to launch what we call Visual SQL today. It's been a lot of work based on customer feedback and extensive prototyping and user testing. If you'd rather skip the story attached here you can also check out our product walkthrough video or give it a spin yourself here:
I sit in a monthly "metrics review" meeting where we mostly speculate about why the dashboards are broken, and what the data team will have to do to fix it.
If our TPM was able to self-service this through an intuitive interface it would be a massive productivity win.
Same here! Seeing how useful tableau (a far less powerful tool) has been for our company, it's clear that there is a big market for empowering everyone to dig for data-driven insights.
I love the product. I am sure most people don't want to allow direct connections to their databases. I haven't used the software so it might put a lot of load on my database that the server is not able to handle. It will be best if I can import a SQL dump and then use the software on a copy of my data. The alternative right now is to run a separate server just so I can try out the software.
It's not clear to me, but this looks like a SaaS offering and not a client I can run in my own environment? If that's the case, I'm sure there's a market, but definitely not something I could use.
