With Apache Superset, we had some problems with the permissions when we had too many users. Some permissions were not really clear even after reading the documentation.
Apache Superset could be improved by enhancing its interactivity and engagement capabilities. While it serves well for data visualization, it lacks more dynamic features that allow users to interact with data directly through the dashboard. For the next release, including interactive widgets and reporting tools that allow actions on digital assets directly from the dashboard would be beneficial. This functionality would make Superset a more comprehensive digital analytics platform suitable for interactive data exploration and operational management. Implementing actionable buttons for security controls and dashboard management could significantly enhance user interaction, making it more suitable for real-time data manipulation and decision-making.
The product needs improvement in terms of DECT filters. At present, we have only a range or time stamp filter. They could provide more options. The platform's reporting feature needs enhancement. There could be an automatic alignment of headings similar to Tableau, ensuring that if the length exceeds a certain limit, it should transition to the next line while maintaining alignment.

Being an open-source solution, a lot of documentation is not available so you have to go through tutorials on the internet; sometimes the documentation is outdated and therefore misleading. Finding the updated information requires a lot of investigation. There is some bridging documentation available, but you need to go through it and figure out which one fits your use case. The basic to medium-level documentation is okay but when it comes to advanced things like authentication, integrating with identity provider roles and mappings, things can definitely be improved. The automation in terms of APIs for automatically creating roles, and giving privileges to the user can also be improved.
Superset is fast, lightweight, intuitive, and loaded with options that make it easy for users of all skill sets to explore and visualize their data, from simple line charts to highly detailed geospatial charts.

Dynamic dashboarding could improve to enable smooth navigation when transitioning from a higher to a lower view, allowing for easy accessibility.
