      I'd be interested in this also. We tried a couple of solutions, including MS Power BI. Domo is what TPTB decided we will be going to, when we have the budget.

        Domo

        Have not seen that one. What factors led to choosing it? Which others did you look into?

          Not 100% sure if this what you want but Directus

          https://medium.com/directus/tagged/mysql

          or

          Grafana
          https://grafana.com/

            We use MS's PowerBI, not open source and has a lot of gotya's that are incredibly annoying and expensive.

            There also aren't many solutions that would work for us due to compliance issues.

              Grafana is probably the easiest and best looking.

                I wasn't really too involved with the reasons. But, I am pretty sure that it has a lot of integrations with various channels.

                  Is Grafana actually something that could work for you? If you're looking more for reporting, you could check out Jasper Reports.

                    @Emad-R Thanks for the lead on Directus

                    @dafyre That's what I was thinking as well. Jasper is on my list of possibilities.

                      I think Jasper is a long term popular solution here.

                        Pentaho is another option. I have only used the ETL part but the suite is large

                          Oh yeah, I was trying to think of that one.

                            ELK - ElasticDB search - Logstash - Kibana?

                              Just the Kibana piece in that case, I think.

                                Dashboards yes. You can do live reports with grafana within a certain time but a reporting tool might be better for reports specifically.

                                  So I know I've looked at Grafana before, but now that I'm reading into it a bit more on lunch, I don't think Grafana is a BI tool.

                                  Not in a sense that an accounting/sales team could use anyways. Maybe but it really looks more like an infrastructure monitoring and reporting tool to watch IT infrastructure.

                                    It will graph any time series data (even non time series but it's a little different). We used it for a lot at the last place I worked. We even used it as a dashboard for Graylog instead of using their own dashboarding. So anything you can log (as in collect data on) you can present.

                                        Mostly Elasticsearch, but you can feed quite a few different types of databases into it.

                                          Yes, I found weird to find Grafana as an suggestion for cross tab reports created by non-technical users.

                                            Yeah, what I saw for grafana was mostly heatmap, uptime, system performance type metrics.

                                            Rather than the types of BI graphs one would expect from a Accounting/Sales teams which would show profit, costs, etc.
