Ask HN: Are there any good whitelabel reporting solutions for startups?
I'm looking for a good white label reporting solution that I can embed in my web app. I'm thinking back to the days of Crystal Reports or SSRS where you'd have a server running and a nice report writing interface. We have a few data backends (including SQL and Spark), and I'm looking for an easy way to write reports that get surfaced up to our end users, but with all the niceties like PDF generation, good printing support, templates, etc. I know Tableau and Looker have white label solutions, but they're pretty expensive - any good recommendations for a smaller startup?

I can strongly recommend Metabase (https://www.metabase.com). Currently we're using this for all reporting dashboards for customers at Coast (https://coastapp.com). We connect our main MySQL DB and other data sources, and product people can write queries/visualizations/dashboards for customers without engineering effort. They support white-labelling and embedding in web apps.
Good solutions in this space tend to be quite pricey.
Qlik might have some solution for this purpose. Dunno what it costs but perhaps cheaper than Tableau at least.

BTW may I ask what kind of price range you’re targeting …? The possible alternative depends quite heavily on that.
PS. Feel free to shoot me an email if you like, I might have interesting info for you.

Maybe a combination of jQuery Data tables and Apache eCharts? Both have various output options (csv, pdf, png) and look pretty good without much effort.
Grafana is good, completely accelerated my Apps. Although ouh you could white label why? I let my clients know what there using and why, this also lessens the support burden too.
Maybe wickedreports.com?
