Banana is a fork of a very old Kibana version (Kibana 3.x) developed by 
Lucidworks. It’s technically out of scope for this list, as the Solr community 
has nothing to do with maintaining it.

(Full disclosure, I work at Lucidworks. However, I’m on a different team and 
have no idea about Banana’s development cycle/roadmap.)

Personally, I think it’s fine for some use cases, but many users have had 
problems with queries bogging down their Solr instances and causing overall 
slowness. This is because behind every panel is a Solr query, so to draw every 
panel a new query is issued. If you have a complex dashboard with even 
semi-complex queries it adds load, possibly a lot of load. It might be fine for 
you, though, depending on what you use it for and how much data you are working 
with.

I will say there are more up-to-date Solr integrations actively maintained by 
the Solr community that may satisfy similar needs:

If you’re looking for something like log analytics, take a look at using 
streaming expressions for this: 
https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/visual-guide/solr/solr-ref-guide/src/logs.adoc.
 This approach can be adapted for whatever kind of data you have and want to 
visualize.

If you want to track metrics, integrating with something like Prometheus & 
Grafana might be better: 
https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/monitoring-solr-with-prometheus-and-grafana.html.

Hope it helps -
