Considered Both Products
GoodData
Chose GoodData
GoodData cloud has been on an upward trend in terms of speed of improvements and new features. It is easier to maintain and mange than most other products in terms of the behind the scenes updates etc however the hosted nature of the dashboards does reduce the flexibility to …

Chose GoodData
For analysts, Tableau is far better because of better graph visualization. Tableau does not need to deal with the amount of uploaded data. Our company uses Gooddata because of its unbeatable price.
Chose 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 …
Chose GoodData
Good Data is faster to use than Tableau. Therefore leaner and more user friendly. It allows people to manipulate the visualization in a way that makes sense. And it doesn’t depend so much on tutorials like Tableau does. The learning curve is much faster.
Chose GoodData
Each one of the above players had an interesting platform. Ultimately, GoodData beat them based on our need for a customizable user experience, ability to embed, affordable license that is NOT on a per user basis (because if you want adoption, you shouldn't directly tie cost …

GoodData
GoodData is well suited for classic business intelligence and data analytics solution involving visually driven content using charts and graphs. It's rich collection and drillable interactions make it perfect for embedded analytics where application workflow is tied to analytics. However, GoodData may not be ideal or appropriate for such solutions that require lot of textual content to be displayed with the help of tabular visuals, particularly in regulated industries where the key is in the details. This is all tied to the platform limits that force the default layout to pre-filter

Tableau
If you're using Tableau as the primary BI tool, then Tableau Cloud is well suited to publish and share the results with a wide(r) audience. It is well suited for various degrees of self-service proficiency, from pure consumers of analytical work to more advanced users who can use web editing for smaller or larger adjustments, and even for desktop power users who will publish their work to Tableau Cloud. It has many good ways to organize the content and make it easily accessible via search, favorites, folders, collections ("playlists for your data"), or history ("recents"). It might not be ideally suited if there are many on-prem sources to be used (even though there are options to connect them) or if you have very special requirements regarding custom server setup, which is limited in a shared cloud environment like Tableau Cloud.

Tableau
  • Tableau Online is completely cloud based and that's why the reports and dashboards are accessible even on the go. One doesn't always need to access the office laptop to access the reports.
  • The visualizations are interactive and one can quickly change the level at which they want to view the information. For example, one person might be more interested in looking at the country level performances rather than client level. This is intuitive and one doesn't need to create multiple reports for the same.
  • The feature to ask questions in plain vanilla English language is great and helpful. For quick adhoc fact checks one can simply type what they are looking for and the Natural Language Programming algorithms under the hood parse the query, interpret it and then fetch the results accordingly in a visual form.

  • Can be a steep learning curve for new users

Usability
GoodData
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 have not had any issues that require customer support from Tableau at this time, which speaks well to Tableau. I have taken an online course with Tableau and it was very professional and well done, so based on that I would assume a similar level of quality for their customer service.

In determining whether to go with Tableau Online versus Alteryx, two important factors stood out in determining our go-to solution. First, while Alteryx is an impressive tool for data cleansing, it did not stack up in terms of data visualization capabilities. Tableau, on the other hand, provided us everything we needed in terms of visualizing our data and analytics. The second factor is cost. Well neither solution would be considered cheap, Tableau was the more cost effective solution for our needs.
