What is GoodData?

GoodData is a cloud-based data and analytics platform, bringing AI-fueled data-driven decision-making to organisations across the globe. With a platform that leverages the potential of automation and AI, GoodData empowers its customers to make data analytics available to end users via real-time, self-service data insights right at the point of work. The vendor states that over 140,000 businesses and 3.2 million users rely on GoodData to drive meaningful change and achieve more through data.


GoodData’s AI-accelerated platform is built around four key pillars: simplicity, flexibility, productivity, and scalability. It enables companies of all sizes, from SMBs to enterprises, to:

  • Empower users to autonomously explore data and create AI-infused interactive dashboards and charts via a no-code UI. AI-powered features like NLQ to drive faster insights and faster decisions.
  • Launch customised analytics anywhere their users need it in the way they’re used to. With plug-and-play integrations, low-code/no-code tools, and flexible embedding options, organisations can deliver analytics to users.
  • Enable their analytics engineers and BI teams to collaborate with code. GoodData’s “Analytics-as-Code” philosophy empowers analytics builders to boost efficiency with code-based automation, developer tools, and blueprints — letting them fully leverage software engineering workflows and ultimately create analytics environments even faster.
  • Ensure trust in their data, from source to dashboard. GoodData’s semantic layer and suite of security and governance features enable comprehensive testing, validation, and monitoring for consistent, accurate, and secure data, regardless of where it is consumed.
  • Dynamically scale their analytics to accommodate increases in data volume, end users, and business partners. Through its multi-tenant architecture, GoodData enables organisations to distribute personalised analytics instances to teams, partners, or customers, while advanced caching delivers lighting performance and keeps cloud data warehouse costs low.

Good Data = Good Deal

  • GoodData puts powerful data visualization into the hands of business users, eliminating IT from the equation.
  • GoodData required only a brief intro to its basic philosophy, and nontechnical users were quickly able to start building dashboards and views they could actually use.
  • GoodData enabled powerful graphics to be constructed combining enterprise data and external data such as research or industry data, easily imported and homologated to create comparisons.
  • As with many information tools, GoodData can be challenging to a novice user who is too rushed to learn while building.
If you want to succeed with BI you need to embrace "Laisser Faire BI", in other words put a great product in people's hands and get yourself out of the way. Some formal structure may be necessary in some orgs, but the real adoption curve is driven by demand, not supply.

GD is so far my favourite end-user BI tool and eclipses all other cloud tools, while also enabling use of GoodData on top of a corporate 'gold standard' platform such as Business Objects, or just an Oracle based Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW).
  • GoodData is most popular among "data hound" category of business user. Anyone who is capable of running and refining large Excel pivots, and who can extract SQL statement results into Excel, is easily able to build beautiful analytics and visualizations in GoodData.
  • Some less proactive GD users are merely consuming the analytics views created by their colleagues.
  • In one customer demo, we used online banking data (yes, for real) and observed as GoodData created different dashboards for different people depending on what it found in the downloaded data. It was very cool. Download 1 full year of online banking transactions into CSV, then create new project using this as base data. Where debit categories were clearly showing a pattern, the dashboard put this item first and showed a pretty useful pattern. where people had variable income and from various sources, it showed that first and created great interest in seasonal variances by source.

  • Implemented in-house
We let it go viral among the smartest and most data-hungry and analytical people in the organization. That generated some me-too following, and before we knew it we had a Mexican wave. The stragglers too were enthusiastic, especially when they could just use metrics created by their colleagues
  • In-person training
  • Self-taught
Petr was a rock star - patient, knowledgeable, clear and easy to work with.
It makes you feel smart. You try to build an ambitious metric or graph, and by guessing and using intuition, suddenly you've got it!
GoodData is still a small, hungry and very capable organization. I do hope while they grow and scale up their operations they will maintain this hungry yet humble culture that is always there for their customers.
