We found Metabase very buggy in comparison to GoodData. While using Metabase, we frequently had to reload views and tables, and we also had to "re-do" the joins for every new query that we had. This made Metabase very inaccessible to our non-technical users, even though they …
Embedding flexibility was the main reason we chose GoodData. Interactivity, customization options, and programmatic ability were all very important to us and GoodData's embedding via React SDK offers exactly that. Implementation time was 50% shorter with GoodData than with …
The metric engine is the most powerful in GoodData that I have used, being able to define metrics that reference other metrics and using different grains is extremely powerful. Visualisations are relatively easy to create compared to others, sometimes I wish I could see the SQL …
I think it works nicely for shops that want the analytical power and are ok to host their own infrastructure for the data and etl. For smaller operations with limited budgets but still high demand for analytical features the math may not work out.
Metabase is an easy tool to use if you are interested in collecting and aggregating data from multiple platforms. It is also easy to set up and start receiving the data results as a report. It is also easy to integrate with other tools that generate visual reports and take the necessary actions based on the data details.
The source datasets are often complex, semi-structured and un-linked to key entities. With GoodData, all of these datasets are unified to serve as a central semantic data model layer, building into a galaxy schema with dimensions, bridge, and facts, which then forms the backbone that powers the [...] data intelligence cloud. Building insights and dashboards become a much easier task once the underlying data model is designed. GoodData enforces certain best practices as a BI tool, which must be adhered to get the true value of the raw data. For e.g. the source FDA dashboard may just show inspection data but the Site Profile dashboard built on GoodData goes beyond the standard information and shows more insight into site risk scores and can be drilled into details. There is blog written on this topic: [...].
GoodData provides a rich collection of visualization options that help us create compelling story-telling via dashboards. Being well-prepared for FDA inspections is essential for maintaining product quality, regulatory compliance, and avoiding serious business setbacks. FDA inspections are critical events that can shape a company’s market access and reputation. The FDA itself offers the FDA Data Dashboard, but it doesn’t make every document available.

Medical devices and technologies do not stop evolving after they receive regulatory approval. Once a product hits the market, it faces real-world usage, compliance challenges, and an array of regulatory scrutiny. Managing these postmarket dynamics is critical to a product’s long-term success and patient safety. However, many companies struggle to keep track of relevant events across a product’s markets, from adverse event reports to changing regulations. Postmarket Intelligence developed on GoodData platform enables us to solve that problem. It empowers MedTech companies to efficiently monitor, assess, and act on postmarket data—saving time, improving decision-making, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Anyone who is used to trying to get the data they need from the various FDA, and other regulatory agency websites, knows that collecting, cleaning, and structuring that data takes hours. And that’s before any analysis can get done. We enable customers to free up time to focus only on the high-value analysis and subsequent recommendations to leadership, rather than wrangling the data.
The data pipeline refresh that is provided by GoodData Platform is also quite useful from data engineering perspective. The Automated Data Distribution v2 or commonly called as ADD refresh follows a set pattern of identifying the analytical data model through output stage which helps abstract the complex table definition to simpler views that can help with quick rebuild at the data warehouse level while loading the data into GoodData's ADS storage layer. The import first way of loading data into GoodData's cloud storage, followed by querying for any aggregations or metrics on the GoodData analyzer, makes this simple and fast.
GoodData's latest product i.e. Cloud also offers several good features like Analytics as Code which helps software engineering teams follow a code-first approach to analytics, where building insights, dashboards or even datasets can be done in YAML templates or serviced by REST APIs. This is particularly forward thinking in the modern technology stack and evolving industry requirements. These provide seamless integration options to front-end and backend code, embedded analytics with multiple choices from HTML to React based workloads. At [...], we are currently exploring most of these features while planning for a future migration from Platform to Cloud.
Good Data is already have certain customizable options. However, having more flexibility in customizing reports and dashboards & control over the visual aspects would enhance the overall user experience.
To make Good Data even more powerful tool, improving the speed and responsiveness of the tool, especially during data-intensive tasks, would be a significantly helpful.
For new users, the interface can be made more user friendly which would promote easy navigation through features of tool.
Because gooddata really helps us in processing data to make reports or dashboards. So we are very satisfied when we use it. What we like is the flexible use of charts. We change at will the use of charts to display in reports or dashboards. Thank you Gooddata for helping companies like us who need flexibility in usage
From a customer perspective it is incredibly usable. We have more users building their own reports that would normally need custom work from our support team. The back end can be daunting when trying to configure things like new data elements or push changes to a report to all existing customers.
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
Implementations are hard and we had limited technical resources. We relied too heavily on GD care team. When we found technical gaps, they weren't simple to overcome
GoodData comparing to other platform is very easy to use, customer support and on-boarding support. Set of features, speed of integration in our platform. Also great benefit for us was very competetive pricing.
It is serving us whatever we're looking for, and we've recommended many organizations to implement it if they want better data analytics as it provides better functionality than we will build.
As a negative it gets difficult to get control over data to be fetch initially.
