Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used it to query out data and build dashboards. It was used for instant mini queries, save large queries and monitor dashboards.
Starting from performance dashboards to fetching user details by an associate. We were using the visual features like line graphs and bar graphs. And downloading the exports as well.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
