It seems that Redash is a BI tool and close source. Ananas is open source, and can be used not only as a BI tool, but also an ETL tool. More over, you can run your pipeline on your own infrastructure, as Ananas can be run on multiple execution engines

#33This looks very good and a fit for my end users who deal with excel files all the time. Is there any plans to add Excel as a datasource? Cannot convert to CSV without major pain since excel files are exports from mainframe apps which are out of my control. Thanks

Parent commenter linked to their GitHub repo. Redash is open source under the terms of the two-clause BSD license. (Maybe they edited to add link, maybe you overlooked it?)

#35My unprofessional professional opinion. The product looks great, but the name has to go. I can't imagine pronouncing that, let alone communicating it over a phone. Any simple word before analytics would be better. Edit: pineapplytics is the obvious cute and available one, however may still be difficult to communicate.
Fun fact: Only the English language calls the fruit "pineapple", almost every other language calls it "ananas" or similar.
That's a bit bold statement... In Spanish is Piña and in Portuguese is Abacaxi, but a good amount of laguanges does call it ananas

Excel source was one of our first supported data sources. See our early video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwqZlhmei78. We just created an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/ananas-analytics/ananas-desktop/issues/60 We will add this feature back in the following release.

#37I would recommend code-signing the build before distributing.

Oh, sorry about that, my bad. I just looked through redash home page, but didn't find the open source link

People have same opinion about Azure. Microsoft didn't change it. Ananas is still not that bad.
"Ananas" alone might not be that bad, but "ananasanalytics.com" certainly is.
Bob Loblaw's Law Blog, anyone?

Thanks for your feedback, we will look for some affordable code-signing certificates. Any suggestions? By the way, here is the issue link: https://github.com/ananas-analytics/ananas-desktop/issues/61
