Superset's not the best in terms of looks, but it beats Metabase hands down for functionality.


Which functionalities would you point out as the most important in Superset that are missing in Metabase?


Depends heavily on your use case, but there are a lot of advanced features.

From a review last year (so some of this may be outdated):

- Broader datasource support - 20 sources in Superset, vs 12 in Metabase

Superset supports:

- view creation by users ('create table as'), as well as materialization

- geo/GIS based visualizations

- day over day, week over week, etc. charting; moving averages, etc.

Superset is missing data catalog-like functions, which metabase has, though I didn't evaluate metabase's data catalog in depth. It also requires you to write SQL, where Metabase includes a query builder UI - though there was a rather strange difference in capabilities within Metabase between the SQL-based charting and the query builder UI.
