GoodData
GoodData is well-suited for scenarios where businesses require a powerful Embedded BI platform that offers seamless integration with existing software. It excels in providing insightful analytics for issue tracking and resolution, enabling data-driven decision-making. Its ability to create custom ad-hoc dashboards and reports empowers users to derive valuable insights without extensive technical expertise. However, GoodData may be less appropriate for highly complex data analysis or large-scale data processing due to potential limitations in scalability and customization.

[Plotly Chart Studio is] a great tool to make visualizations on a web based portal. For python developers, it can ease of some burden of writing code again and again for the same thing and also refreshing visualizations on old scripts when data changes. All in all, a simple yet effective tool for your report generation and visualization needs[.]

Pros
GoodData
  • It's a good platform that has a flexible pricing plan which means that users can get hands-on service free at the start.
  • GoodData provides its users with excellent charts and drill-down analysis which makes complex large data sets so simplified and easy to understand and interpret.
  • For me it is so convenient because everything just gets saturated on a single page.

Plotly
  • Connects to almost every kind of data source like SQL, Excel, MS Access, flat files and more.
  • Charts get saved to the repository and are re-used by multiple users.
  • No need of manual intervention in order to refresh the charts every time the data gets changed.

Cons
GoodData
  • It's such a broad product, it's hard to know what the best practices are
  • Sometimes it's hard to navigate between the presentation layer and the LDM/backend layer with more details
  • I would LOVE to see more customization available in the presentation of the data, it's very restricted with what we can show

Plotly
  • Lack of customer support
  • Sometimes fails to visualize extremely large datasets ( probably also due to computer resource constraints)

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

Usability
GoodData
Nice UI & UX, it's easy for non engineering team members to build reports and show them during demos, we can easily create dashboards and reports and we can give this access to some of our clients too. Overall we are all very happy with this part of the GoodData software.

Alternatives Considered
GoodData
I actually investigated around 20 options and in most part the embedding + multi tenant mode that became a key concern. They either do not have the support or the price scaling is terrible or the startup cost is prohibitive. On the average startup cost is around 50k per year and that is the bare minimal with no addon which is not usable, or the scaling in pricing is based off per users. So if I you are running a SaaS business that charge per user 15 dollars a month, if you just want to show one graph through embedding, it might cost you 10 dollars per user. This might make sense if you provide only power users with that option and charge a premium for it but in my scenario my motivation is to democratize the data. That itself makes it commercial not viable to have a cost structure like this.

  • Improvement in productivity as charts can be shared with teams and feedback can be collected, consolidated and incorporated in the design and charts.
  • Charts are aligned with the organization theme and colors and one doesn't need to put in effort every time to do that.
  • No upfront capital expenditure and minimum user criteria helps the organization to keep the costs down.
