DataEase is an open-source, self-hosted business intelligence platform designed for building interactive data visualizations and managing analytical reporting. It provides a centralized environment where users can construct dashboards through a drag-and-drop interface, connecting to diverse data sources including relational databases, data warehouses, and external APIs.
The platform distinguishes itself through its focus on embedded analytics and enterprise-grade governance. It allows for the seamless integration of charts, dashboards, and management modules into third-party web applications using secure iframe containers and token-based authentication. To support complex organizational needs, it includes granular role-based access control, row-level data filtering, and hierarchical organization management, ensuring that data remains secure and isolated across different departments.
Beyond core visualization, the system offers extensive automation and connectivity features. It supports automated report scheduling and distribution, cross-source data modeling, and a plugin-based architecture that allows for the addition of custom data sources and visualization types. The platform also includes robust monitoring tools, such as threshold-based alerting and execution logging, to maintain operational visibility over automated tasks.
The system is built to be highly configurable, offering options for platform branding, global variable definitions, and comprehensive identity management through integrations with external authentication providers.
