Chartio (discontinued) vs. GoodData

Chartio is a great tool for building presentable dashboards. It can export, you can add read-only access, and it has permissions levels by dashboard for users. There are other data analysis tools that help to analyze the data, but few allow for such a nice presentation

GoodData is well suitable for business like ours that wants insights from their data. Analytics helps us to for decision making with its predictive modeling and ML. It might not be a much suitable asset for small teams with limited data very less analytics need. They might find simpler and more cost-effective solutions.

• Direct linkage to our databases. Abstracts away the visualization layer so we can focus on the data and the queries.
• Host of graphs and tools that permits all types of data visualizations.
• Haven't quite used this yet, but there is a new embedding feature that will be very helpful so that we can embed the charts into a company central dash.

• GoodData provides advanced analytics for predictive modeling. This assists in identifying potential issues before they arise, and making proactive decisions.
• GoodData prioritizes data security and compliance, providing features that help IT firms like ours adhere to regulatory requirements.
• GoodData gives high customization dashboards, allows us professionals to create tailored view of KPI.

• There is not a last full month date range option. You can still get the range that you need, but the dashboards will have to be manually updated to exclusively display one whole month.
• When building a chart, the area which displays your tables and fields is finite. You can't adjust the size to make it easier to see. They do allow a mouse-over to see the entire name of your table/field, but I would prefer to adjust the width.
• Once you modify a query in the Custom Query tab, there doesn't seem to be a way to go back to using the U.I.

• Firstly I would like to mention about it's setup which took us more than a month to integrate and get things started.
• Not that easy for beginner to start using the platform.
• Some features are hard to find at setup due to it's complexity but later it went well.

Great customer support: You will receive an answer by email usually within 20-30 minutes. Not only that but our CSMs for Chartio go out of their way to help, they have even created charts for some of the less experienced users that wanted an example to work from. We have had nothing but great experiences with this team.

Each client I have worked with and spoken too has renewed their GoodData subscription. I know of not one to date that has cancelled. The GoodData platform has a very high rate of renewal from the discussions I have had with their internal teams as well

I really like using Chartio. I use it on a daily basis for pulling data from different sources and combining data (the explore tab was a great idea for this use). I think I would give it 8/10 because there needs to be more documentation or maybe blog posts about things people are doing with it. I only have my own ideas about what to do /how to graph things. I know there are some articles, but it would be awesome to have a section on the neat dashboards people are building or how they show data in different ways. Another complaint is how much time it takes to load. I know our databases aren't set up precisely for Chartio and I have been creating data stores. But the data stores have so many more limitations that adds a whole new layer of frustration. Love the product, keep up the good work and the fast fixes.

The platform provides accurate and reliable information that I can always count on. The user interface is super easy to navigate, making my data-related tasks easy. What I love most is that it helps me make informed decisions more effectively. Also, the customer support is very good. Whenever I have a question, they're quick to help and genuinely care about my experience.

We are approximately one month since go-live. There has been one short outage.

Performance on refreshing metrics works well.

Support team has been highly responsive and helpful from our first initial deployment to present day. They engage and work with us. know when to escalate for more challenging problems. They also follow up. Overall have had a very good experience with support

Petr was a rock star - patient, knowledgeable, clear and easy to work with.

I use self learning materials. Pretty helpful. I find myself having to go back to the "drilldown" instructions though, and have a hard time finding hidden variables on a dashboard, so perhaps there is room for intuitive improvements (or maybe I'm just being lazy)

GoodData implementation team was professional and courteous

Thorough, professional and on time.

Chartio so far has been the easiest BI tool to setup and has also been the most affordable. There are some other, great, BI tools out there but they were a bit to heavy handed for what we needed. Also - despite the high cost per user in Chartio, the other tools were still more expensive.

GoodData is best among every other platform I used because it's a cloud based platform and way to easy to use. Its robust predictive analytics and unified data view set it way apart. While Power BI and Tableau excel in visualization, GoodData's focus on comprehensive business intelligence, user engagement analytics, and revenue optimization which made it a strong choice for our organization seeking a holistic analytics solution.

Chartio has worked well as our datawarehouse has rapidly expanded, and the usability/performance hasn't seemed to have suffered. What we haven't yet realized is additional savings from additional users. We have some dashboard needs for users who truly just view of a few charts, and the licensing structure hasn't yet been structured in a way that would support that type of approach...having 50 "core" licenses, and then potentially several hundred view only licenses for partners that would use the application infrequently.

• We have been able to quickly go to market with a feature-rich version of our application.
• The licensing costs are manageable but make our offering more expensive than alternatives.
• The possibility to horizontal scaling with Kubernetes is a bright outlook for our business.
