About Apache Superset

Superset lets analysts explore data and build dashboards from SQL databases. The project documents its supported databases and has an installation guide for self-hosted deployment, so it runs on a server that the organization controls. The code is published under the Apache License 2.0 and maintained as an Apache Software Foundation project.

Superset needs someone to set up the server, the database connections and user access before anyone else can use it. That makes it a better fit for data teams than for casual viewers. Its charts and dashboards cover common analysis needs, and teams that want a ready-made hosted service will need a different product.
