Overall Satisfaction with GoodData

We use GoodData to democratize our data and make it accessible to multiple business users. It allows teams to drive their own insights without creating data requests. The dashboards can be built intuitively, and it takes minimal training for the teams to start explore the prebuilt views. Currently we use GoodData to analyze financial and operational data.
- Data transparency: all objects are predefined in LDM hence the views are built using the same construction blocks
- Data accessibility: no coding needed to pivot data and create your own data source
- Data management: each team has its own dashboard space, managed separately
  • Data exploration
  • Reporting
  • Data accessibility
  • Data Transformational layer should be built separately
  • Chart editing is limited
  • It saved a lot of time for the data team by providing customizable reports
It is easy to learn and intuitive tool.
The implementation took 3-4 months as we were building the transformational layer and creating LDMs for several teams. It took longer than expected as we needed to adopt a couple other products along the way to support the implementation. GoodData support team was very helpful and responded quickly.
- Data exploration: since business users can drive their own insights the data team is focused on more value added tasks
- Data visualization: reports are simple but easy to interact with
- Alerts: I have several metrics I am able to track closely as based on the value I receive a report
Amazon Redshift is used as a connector to our data, Google Analytics helps us track our website data
