## What it is
Frappe Insights is a 100% open-source business intelligence (BI) tool for data analysis and reporting, built on the Frappe Framework. It lets technical and non-technical users connect multiple data sources, build queries visually without SQL, and create charts and dashboards.

## Use cases
- build dashboards from my erpnext data without writing sql
- visualize mysql and postgresql data with charts
- connect spreadsheets and databases into one analytics tool
- create reports for non-technical team members
- self-host an open source alternative to tableau or metabase
- run ad-hoc data analysis with a visual query builder
- combine data from multiple sources for business reporting

## When to choose
- you use Frappe/ERPNext and want integrated reporting
- you need a self-hosted, open-source BI tool with no license costs
- non-technical users must build queries and dashboards without SQL
- you need to combine multiple databases, files, and spreadsheets in one place

## When to avoid
- you need enterprise BI features like row-level security at scale or embedded analytics SDKs
- you require databases beyond MySQL, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, or BigQuery
- you need a lightweight charting library rather than a full BI application
- you are not running or willing to host a Frappe-based web application
