I've used Redash [1] and Saiku [2] with good success. Redash is a swiss army knife approach to dashboarding and can run/schedule queries against a plethora of data sources and visualise in different ways

Saiku uses Mondrian (OLAP) tech to give a slice/dice drill down view of data. Unfortunately the docs for Saiku seem very disjointed these days - there's a docker image for the CE (Community Edition) that I recently setup okay. Quite a learning curve on setting up Mondrian schemas here, though, but worth it when it's done.

Meta base is OSS and can run on heroku. tableau isn’t too badly priced for one license. But that’s about it - I’ve done a lot of research recently
