Kibana vs. Redash

Kibana integrates seamlessly with Elastic Search which gives us access to parse and analyze data generated from our systems in order to make decisions. Also, Kibana helps us create insightful reports and dashboards that give us insights into the end-users usage on the system and helps us find the root cause of issues as well.

Redash is well suited to situations where metrics are tracked on daily, weekly and monthly basis. Alerts can be set to emails which helps stakeholders to monitor performance on a frequent basis. It is less appropriate for cases where only dashboards are needed. Redash comes into picture where individuals can query and check data at the same time.

• Fast searches with powerful index.

• You need to have a good command over SQL to use Redash but if there could be some way where people can just pull data and do slice dice.
• It would be nice to have an excel kind of filters when all data is fetched.
• Some things like easy to customise the column names.

We did not use the official Kibana support. Documentation was easy enough to follow.

Kibana has a better usability experience, the core features I was using existed in all of them. I liked more in Kibana how you can easily create dashboards, charts, and reports without the need to be a tech person.
