// EDITOR'S TAKE
Apache Superset is the closest replacement, with a chart builder, dashboards and a SQL lab that will absorb most Tableau workbooks, provided your data is already modelled in a warehouse. Metabase is far friendlier for business users asking ad hoc questions but weaker on visual depth, and Grafana, despite topping the list on stars, is built for time series and operational dashboards rather than exploratory analysis.
