Preset
Preset is a managed Apache Superset platform from Superset’s original creators. It hosts Superset, handles upgrades, and adds workspace collaboration on top of the OSS BI engine. We assess it when Superset fits but self-hosting ops do not.
Blurb
Preset is Apache Superset as a service. Build and share data dashboards with your team.
Summary
What it is: SaaS control plane and hosting for Superset instances with SSO, permissions, and managed releases.
When to use: Superset feature set is the goal; team wants managed uptime and faster onboarding vs DIY Helm.
When to skip: Strict data residency that forbids third-party BI SaaS. Self-host Apache Superset or assess Lightdash with dbt-core instead.
Key features: Managed Superset, API access, role-based workspaces, changelog parity with upstream Apache releases.
