Metabase is an open-source browser-based BI software that works with many databases including mySQL Mariadb etc. It can be self-hosted so I installed it on-premise for my small company.
Its features are relatively simple, but it is easy for a non proficient user to write requests in the tables even without knowledge of SQL or programming language. It is also easy to share and assign data with the team.
The weak point of the software is when you export your data, currently emailing doesn’t work well and PDF has limitations. (V0.48).
But overall great and useful software for data analysis.
Love Metabase, I think they should invest in features to help companies create a KPI dictionary/glossary

Just plug-and-play. Run in docker. Free & Open-source.
Metabase has become indispensable to our product workflow at Slytrunk. It is powerful, flexible and reliable, and I would recommend it to any founder without the tens of thousands to spend on Periscope or Domo.
It requires some setup, and there is a learning curve, but it's IMO a great investment of time.
One thing that could be improved is more product manager focused documentation with cookbooks for common queries, such as those commonly rolled out for Google Analytics (BigQuery).

Simple and straight to the point. Metabase does the simple very well yet allowing complex settings for heavy users.
The Open source version is great for the Startups and mid size companies. Its easy to setup and maintain and work great with Cloud Data warehouses like Snowflake.
UI is also very simple and easy to use.

Extremely intuitive and easy to use, with the ability to build on top of queries that you have created before.
Metabase makes it super easy to visualize all our business metrics.
Have used it for myself, and with teams of 20+ and it works great in each case.
With their a visual query constructor interface, non-tech users can easily prototype dashboards and I can easily refine afterwards using the SQL editor if necessary.
