GoodData vs. Questica OpenBook

GoodData is well suited when you have a lot of data sources and you need a single location where you can pipe the data into and then create insights/charts/analytics based on the data you've piped in there. It's also great if you want to customize how the datasets interact with each other and what that logical data model looks like. Super super intuitive there. I think it's not great for data presentation if your product is presenting data to your customers. For internal use, it's great

Citizen engagement would be the area where it could be best suited. I don't really see it outside of the public sector but we use it to interact with our clients in the public sector. It helps to be able to show the transparency of engagement of citizens to communicate best with local government agencies.

• 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.

• No option to visualise a pin on a map
• Custom metrics and variables can be tricky to get right
• Hard to gauge where you are in terms of workspace data limits
• Adding and removing DB fields from models is not as intuitive as it could be
• Data model loading logs can be quite dense and hard to read, esp. when new
• Setting up models to correctly reference between DB tables takes practise
• No option to limit the amount of data a model loads once the table is included

• The search feature could be easier.
• Integration into other tools.
• The guided tours could be more helpful. If I'm nitpicking at this point.

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

After comparing over 20 solution, this is probably not the best in class but the feature set is very competitive. If budget is of no issue, solution like Looker is probably more popular and robust but if you do not want to spend every bit of your budget just for your BI tooling, most users would find GoodData reasonably good enough especially if you are on the SME level

It's very easy to use and intuitive enough that you can guide yourself through even if you do not have IT on staff to assist you. It's easy to set up and get going in minutes. All you have in front of you to analyze data and present. It's helpful for the customer too.

Performance on refreshing metrics works well.

The fast and comprehensive responses we got from GoodData regarding the doubts we had experienced while starting to use the products and metrics were of great help in ensuring the metrics we were obtaining were accurate to what we wanted to know about our customers' experience and our product areas of opportunity.

I haven't had to deal with support much because it's such an easy-to-use product but when I have, they have been very easy to talk to, engage, and resolve our needs quickly. The challenges we had were met over the phone as they walked us through the system.

We chose gooddata compared to other products because gooddata is easier for ordinary people like me to use.

Thank you goodata for helping our work

It stacked up very well. We evaluate at least 3 companies before making software decisions and this one was a clear contender. The map visualization and pop ups are wonderful to be able to visually see what you are discussing in person. These are qualities the rest do not have.
