I use madmin, https://github.com/excid3/madmin, but mainly as a db interface for my app. If you are looking for something that has an analytics type dashboard you would have to work that in yourself.

Trestle
Motor Admin - a modern Admin UI and Business Intelligence Rails engine

Only semi-related anecdote here: I know they're not sexy but they're sexy in terms of value: they just work and get out of the way. The time they save I can spend time making other things sexy that drive business value. There's also https://github.com/TrestleAdmin/trestle which is sexier than the mainstays, but I haven't used it in production myself.
