QGIS (formerly Quantum GIS) is a free and open source geographic information system.
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.

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. There is a blog written on this topic: [...].
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.

Styling: the styling engine is fantastic with raster styling features that I recognize from apps like Photoshop.
Print layouts: I can set up custom print layouts, and even do automated multi-page atlas style reports that I use for cycling through detailed areas when providing my clients with pdf reports.
Extendable: the plugins are fantastic, and almost anything I need that isn't provided natively with QGIS is available as a plugin.
Community: the QGIS community is passionate about GIS, and are always ready to help. There are great training resources available online.

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.

Making maps in QGIS is a bit clunky. I also find it to be extremely unintuitive. For basic GIS, it is great, but I would much rather make maps (for publication purposes) in ArcGIS.
Editing and adding feature layers is not very intuitive. Changing colors of added point or line features is a rather convoluted process.
ArcGIS has a huge selection of online courses, and if you have the appropriate license, you can access most for free. I found these to be very helpful when dealing with map projections and other issues. However, QGIS does not have a large library of courses specifically made for that program.

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.

I wasn't a GIS user at all when I started using QGIS, nor did I have any background working with data in anything other than Excel, and as a result, I struggled quite a lot in the beginning (it's not quite Google Maps). But having said that, I haven't come across anything that I couldn't do with a little help from the online community. I've done complex spatial analyses on large datasets of metropolitan cities, designed custom multi-page pdf reports that automatically cycle through different areas of an area, etc.
And the GIS staff that I've appointed, after their initial resistance, took to the tool like a fish to water, and I haven't heard them complain after starting to use the tool for a week or two.
But if you're new to GIS, be patient and invest some time to learn how to use the tool. It is absolutely worth it.

Even though there is a no dedicated support team for QGIS (or at least we are not aware of it), there is a huge online community and a large number of forums catering to every question you may have regarding any particular functionality of QGIS. So, you have a lot of help available but you will have to sift through it on the web.

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

QGIS gives us more impactful data on children and maternal health issues, which in turn has helped us establish more programs, relationships, and funding opportunities because of the excellent data presentations we can give.
QGIS has allowed our staff to improve their data analysis skills, improving our workforce across the board, with or without the direct use of geographic data.
QGIS has required a lot of staff time to learn, but the ROI on time spent vs the reports we produced afterward has been well worth it.
