## Why Superset

Superset provides:
* An intuitive interface to explore and visualize datasets, and
    create interactive dashboards.
* A wide array of beautiful visualizations to showcase your data.
* Easy, code-free, user flows to drill down and slice and dice the data
    underlying exposed dashboards. The dashboards and charts act as a starting
    point for deeper analysis.
* A state of the art SQL editor/IDE exposing a rich metadata browser, and
    an easy workflow to create visualizations out of any result set.
* An extensible, high granularity security model allowing intricate rules
    on who can access which product features and datasets.
    Integration with major
    authentication backends (database, OpenID, LDAP, OAuth, REMOTE_USER, ...)
* A lightweight semantic layer, allowing to control how data sources are
    exposed to the user by defining dimensions and metrics
* Out of the box support for most SQL-speaking databases
* Deep integration with Druid allows for Superset to stay blazing fast while
    slicing and dicing large, realtime datasets
* Fast loading dashboards with configurable caching


## Supported Databases

Superset speaks many SQL dialects through SQLAlchemy - a Python
SQL toolkit that is compatible with most databases. Here are some of the major database solutions that are supported:
