Getting data using query with multiple joins is very fast with Metabase, and role-based access to the reports can be provided to users. The only place it lags right now is the filter for page and page size. This comes with great support for container-based deployment and on-system deployment, too. I did both container and system direct installation, and direct deployment became a bit challenging. On the other hand, it really provides very good support for data representation.

The tool serves as the purpose of what we were looking for. I am giving us eight because it is cumbersome and needs separate deployment on production; otherwise, it creates memory issues for small servers. Apart from this, this is an excellent tool, providing data features some analysts want. Its backend is heavy, but it works pretty smoothly on front-end users.

Microsoft BI has many performance issues while working on simultaneous projects or heavy code based projects. That is not an issue with BM Cognos. Lack of some very useful features like drop /down/drag makes it very effective against Microsoft BI. Support for IBM Cognos is more promptly available as compared to Microsoft with less hoops to follow

It does not stack up against Metabase, they complete each other.
