Redash creator here.

One correction about Redash: Redash is open source and you can host it yourself too, in case you have an issue trusting a 3rd party with your data.

The proxy approach is something I thought about several times, but I am aiming at providing a collaborative tool, where it's easy to share the results and work with others. Depending on a proxy running on a user machine breaks this.

But having said that, I'm sure there are many whose needs Franchise will fit very well. So kudos on launching a great tool! :)

Hello, happy redash self hosted user here :)

I'd like to confirm, we are hosting redash 2.0 (recently updated from 1.0) to our own server and use it as a query portal and collaboration tool to a number of databases (including mysql, postgres and oracle). Query sharing is really important there are users that don't know SQL but know how to run "peter-21" or "jim-32" with redash.

Everything is smooth till now thank you for the great product!
