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.

  • Seamlessly incorporate a wide variety of tools in a way that doesn't clutter user experience
  • Provides tremendous knowledge and support on various use cases
  • Every offering and update is intentional - they're not a software company that makes changes on a whim
  • The organization of attributes/facts/metrics is lacking
  • Users share saved Insights and the management of those items. Its not intuitive or easy to find Insights unless they were the last ones you worked on
  • When viewing the data model, the interface isn't friendly to research. There should be a better way to view connections without endless scrolling

  • Ease of use when onboarding new users
  • Easy to build new dashboards (classic version)
  • performance for highly used reporting objects
  • would be nice to be able to add the same filter to a multi-tab dashboard once instead of having to do it for each tab; tedious and time consuming
  • Variable use is kind of clunky and would like to be able to hide/show easier
  • The newer insight based dashboard method does not have the flexibility classic does

  • seamlessly integrates into our existing software infrastructure, ensuring a smooth transition and eliminating the complexities often associated with implementing new analytics tools. This has saved us time and resources while maximizing the platform's benefits.
  • GoodData could enhance the onboarding process by providing more intuitive guides or tutorials. Streamlining the initial learning curve would help new users navigate the platform more seamlessly.
  • While GoodData offers solid analytics capabilities, incorporating more advanced predictive analytics features would be beneficial. This addition could further empower us in forecasting trends and making proactive business decisions.

  • Embedded analytics
  • Distributed analytics
  • Great support!
  • API has a lot of functionality
  • Excellent JavaScript library and integration
  • React integration - it was a bit painful for us that we couldn't use their direct integration since it's not up to date with React 18 (or at least wasn't at the time) and had to use a third party graphic library to display the views
  • While their API is very flexible, the way some endpoints' arguments are set up are a little unintuitive and we lost some time to playing around with the API to figure out how to split up data the way we wanted, eg. with stacking
