GoodData vs. Vizlib

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

Vizlib helps us make better use of our data and significantly improves our use of Qlik. If you use Qlik Sense, you need Vizlib. It provides charts and functionality that is necessary to visualize and work with data successfully. It does a great job with our data which comes from a variety of systems and files.

• 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.

• Visualizations
• Forecasting

• 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

• Performance on large data sets
• Training courses
• Nonprofit pricing

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

We have figured out how to use Vizlib features on our own on many occasions. Whenever we do run into questions, the support team is very helpful and able to help us figure out how to do things quickly. I feel features are more advanced, but we know the depth is there when we’re ready to use it

We are approximately one month since go-live. There has been one short outage.

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.

Vizlib support is awesome! We have quick turnaround times and regular updates when we open cases. It’s so good we often ask them Qlik Sense questions, rather than going to Qlik support

Petr was a rock star - patient, knowledgeable, clear and easy to work with.

GoodData implementation team was professional and courteous

Thorough, professional and on time.

We chose gooddata compared to other products because gooddata is easier for ordinary people like me to use. Apart from being easy, gooddata also has many features which are more than enough to help my work and costs incurred by gooddata are lower than when I use other products. Thank you goodata for helping our work

We chose Vizlib because we use Qlik Sense as our main dashboard tool. It is easy to use by our few developers. We are able to build custom visualizations and theme our dashboards with our branding which resonates with our community. Compared to other tools, it is much easier and intuitive to use, because we don’t have to learn coding

• It has helped us drive down support ticket volume
• Better data insights of support tickets helped identify key customer issues and channelize efforts accordingly
• Detailed analysis of existing issue, helped identify product defects across the board thereby provide meaning insights to engineering teams to resolve product issues that were previously unknown to us

Incentivized

• Faster time to dashboards and reports
• Improved communication to donors of our key mission metrics
• Better support than from Qlik
