We use GoodData to provide business intelligence that's embedded within our platform. We use their end-to-end solution to connect our databases with their toool.
GoodData makes our data useful. We can quickly maneuver between the various data points, provide visualizations that summarize the data and extracts to get more granular.
  • 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
It's very useful for both simple and complicated data models. It supports my day-to-day needs on the larger data model, but I can also quickly connect miscellaneous reports to create visualizations for consistency.

We use GoodData to power up analytics for our customers (businesses) and how they are dealing with their own customers. We can leverage a lot of useful capabilities of GoodData, the most liked feature currently is the capabilities of the bricks. We can set up any new account with the perfect settings every time following our guidelines and the ramp-up is quite fast. We are using the platform version with an iframe displayed in our platform.
It allows us to have a BI tool for our customers an easier way than implementing it ourselves, and it is a clean solution.
  • Metrics
  • Dashboards
  • Bricks in general
  • Documentation (can still be improved)
  • Documentation
  • Initial setups
  • Limitations on the MAQL
I can only speak for ourselves, we think it is suited for developing a BI solution kinda fast for multiple customers. I do not think it would be the best solution if we had only a few dashboards/metrics to be done.

Based on my personal experience with GoodData I would like to mention last month's scenario when we were completely helpless in classifying and measuring our revenue sources to make a $100,000 marketing deal decision. Revenue Analytics has really helped us the most to date. Secondly, I would like to mention about another scenario where me and my team were really concerned about our data security.

GoodData provides a means to offer client based workspaces to support our offered services to testing sponsors/clients. This is a pay for service for our clients and allows us to present the client data in a professional and polished manner.
Workspace provisioning for external use and segregation of data. This allows for us to provide known desired metrics on prepublished dashboards as well as a self serve area for other client needs.
  • Excellent User Interface
  • Intuitive controls\ease of use
  • Visualized data model for easy understanding
  • Self serve facility is an excellent service offering
  • Ingestion process is difficult to follow for non data engineers
  • Lack of real time data capability
  • Security model does not integrate easily with internal IAM
This product is well suited for small to medium sized commercial firms and for businesses practicing in a non profit industry. The cheap start up costs and speed to market are attractive to companies that cannot support internal development or information life cycle.

Larger companies using the product for their external customers may find that the product does not scale financially as well as other products in the market.

Internal reporting platform. Over 600 users on a daily basis across a wide range of subject matter, from revenue to website traffic, client contracts, product activity etc. We have multiple active workspaces with many dashboards that are used extensively
Helps us monitor and manage contract delivery/fulfillment as well has "health" of our various products and websites.
Provides supporting information for our sales team for new sales, cross sales, upsells and renewals of our subscription products
  • 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
I think GoodData is probably most well suited to companies or divisions that don't have a dedicated data team and where the admins of the system don't have a lot of technical expertise. I think it's less suited for companies that have highly complex data models and end use needs.
Some of their recommendations like limiting to 8 filters for a dashboard is ridiculous. We regularly use up to 20 because the demands of our business require it. I also feel like the developers should be attempting to use their product themselves for real use cases. I think they would have better insight to how some things can be clunky or frustrating.

As a consulting firm, we have GoodData as an option for implementing for our clients. The current client that is using GoodData is a product that involves displaying distributed embedded analytics to their users, and GoodData was one of the only options to support this use case well. Although we weren't able to use GoodData's native React components due to not being ready for React 18 at the time, we were able to use GoodData as a backend-only solution, and that ended up working pretty well! Their documentation is pretty good, but their support is where they shine as they are able to fill in any gaps or points of confusion.
For us they specifically address being able to process, aggregate and display distributed analytics rather than us having to implement that sort of platform on our own.
  • 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
If it's specifically distributed embedded analytics, I think GoodData is an excellent choice. If it's not embedded but still distributed, I think it's still a great choice with the way they have workspaces and data inheritance set up. If it's not embedded and not distributed, definitely still worth exploring but the pricing model will likely not be well-suited for the project.

Currently, we're using it to enable the fast track of the development of an analytics cloud solution that is currently being used and will be used in the future by our customers in the library space. We have built our own SAP within Angular 15 and are using the GoodData backend to render the graphs on our dashboards. The dashboards are requested from the GoodData API, and we use that data to template our pages. Due to the fact that we have access to the GoodData backend, we can easily and quickly iterate the dashboards shown to our customers. To build all that ourselves would have taken significantly more effort and funding, and we shrunk our development time from an estimated one year to a little over four months.
We needed a quick way to go to market with a competitor product to accompany our own hardware; previously, this functionality was either not available to our customers or slow and feature-poor. Taking the development on ourselves made us more in control of the finished product.
  • Manageability
  • Customer support.
  • Feature updates.
  • Deployment flexibility.
  • Database support.
  • Angular UI kit support.
  • Angular UI kit documentation.
I have to admit that our particular use case might not be ideally suited to use GoodData, what we have in our database is time series data, and the main advantage we were going for by using GoodData was time to market with a feature-rich and complete package for not only our customers but also our own staff who need to manage the dashboards for example. I do see the massive potential to eventually even use GoodData to analyze our own sales figures for example. We currently don't have any plans on doing that, but I think GoodData is perfect for situations like that.

We build and embed dashboards on our proprietary UI, to implement a reporting functionality for clients
Not needing to build reporting/BI functionality & infrastructure from scratch
  • UI is friendly
  • Separation of workspaces per client is smooth & works well
  • Need to have a more customisable embedded component to allow more functionality to the end user without having to go to GoodData's site and customise dashboards
When your database has clean data structure and Joins are self-evident, non-engineering people can build their own reports without having to spend engineering resources to expose data over APIs

GoodData is enabling actionable data insights for our customers. GoodData is helping us share our data securely with our customers by embedding it in our application. Our Customers are able to securely interact with our data filtered to their requirements without needing to understand the data. It is helping us bring data insights to our customers quickly.
Support for multitenancy is one of the main reasons we are with GoodData. It is helping us to govern our data and provide a secure instance to our customers with the control they would like to provide to their internal customers.
It is helping us achieve speed in providing data analytics.
  • Secure Multitenant nodes for customers
  • Lower overall Costs
  • Providing actionable data insights
  • Ability to bring own data quickly using csv uploads
  • Fine grain control of users and access levels
  • More visualization options
  • Better documentation with small snipped videos
  • Segregation of roles in admin to control data model and data loads
Best suited for Mid to Large size organizations with embedded requirements where custom data can be enabled for the users, and users build and visualize data by brining their own data.

Not a great fit for real-time data analytics.

We have developed a reporting tool for our clients and we wanted to find a scalable solution with minimal engineering required capacity. We went through a trial and we continued working with GoodData in order to enable our clients take control of their data. We will also let them build their own reports from scratch.

We had a very positive experience from initial outreach to getting the full package. We had efficient meetings with different team members and we used Slack to talk to the team directly. The truth is that our engineering team had a hard time completing the project because of inefficient documentation.

GoodData is our chosen embedded BI solution within our browser and mobile sales execution management application. We selected GoodData because it's ability to house a huge amount of data / data sets and support complex filters and metrics. Although it takes a bit of a learning curve to build reports in GoodData our end-users have found its quite easy to use just navigating through the data via filters.
Our GoodData analytics brings insights and visibility into sales execution management within the 3-tier beverage alcohol community. Through its platform our customers can analyze which field sales activities are moving the needle when coupled with sales volume data.
  • Custom metrics
  • Enhanced Filters
  • Custom time frame variables
  • Complex report building
  • Field limitations when connecting to Salesforce
  • Expensive
Looking at GoodData reports through a browser UI is great - mobile is a bit of a struggle getting enough value out of a report with limited mobile retail space for filters, etc.

GoodData is what we use for our semantic and presentation layers. We built our LDM with GoodData and we ingest and refresh monumental amounts of data on a daily basis. We are hoping to transition from a hosted platform to Good Data's cloud platform which will allow for streamlined improvements, updates and changes and will eventually allow us to implement the GoodData CN product
For us, Good Data helps us with our data architecting and modeling. This is huge for us because our entire product is data and dependent on a solid architecture/structure to deliver value
  • Easily visualize the logical data model
  • Add/remove data sources
  • Customize data flow path and what you allow to be analyzed
  • It's such a broad product, it's hard to know what the best practices are
  • Sometimes it's hard to navigate between the presentation layer and the LDM/backend layer with more details
  • I would LOVE to see more customization available in the presentation of the data, it's very restricted with what we can show
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.

We are using it in two areas. One for inhouse analytics and another for enabling advance analytics for customers on higher plans. Inhouse analytics we are looking at state of onboarding for specific customers and overall within our system. This give us insight while tapping on the same infrastructure as our customers leading to cost saving and development time.
Provide insight into data for both internal use and customer needs with minimal development required beyond initial setup and integration. It also provide us with a way to prototype new report type easily before building them within the system.
  • Report building
  • Ease of onboarding
  • Scalable cost structure
  • Complexity of the cost structure
  • Changing of super admin to another person
  • Managing access
If you are familiar with other tools already and the budget allows, a tool that you or your team is familiar with is probably a better choice or a more popular options might provide you with more candidates with pre existing experience. In any case you need a BI tool that provide low startup cost and gradual growing cost like in a case of startup this is definitely the best options with minimal trade off.

We have used Good Data to analyse traffic data from our digital assets (websites, social media etc) to gain a deeper understanding of traffic acquisition and performance. We have then used the insights gained to make data based decision for further improvements in our traffic acquisition funnels. That is the primary use of Good Data for us.
Data Analysis, Insights and recommendation
  • Easy to understand data dashboard
  • clearly laid out data analysis
  • User friendly interface
  • We have enjoyed using the platform as it is and cannot add or things of anything to be added as it is meeting our requirements
The reason we tried God Data in the first place was for the ease of understanding the massive amount of data we were collecting. We could not find a single platform where we could collect and analyse data as per our need. Good Data is the right platform for visual understanding of the data concise and crisp to get details in a glance

We use GoodData to develop custom dashboards personalized to each customer. We develop dashboards om GoodData platform and GoodData.UI. We also set upp our own custom visuals and create smart narratives that give insights on the visuals and data in human readable form which can be plugged into any dashboard.
It addresses the customization aspect and the availability to public. It also helps make dashboards more personalized and offers more control to the developers.
  • Customizations
  • Headless BI
  • Control to the Developer
  • Documentation of APIs
  • Examples of deployment
  • Support in Deployment
Very well suited when you want to use the GoodData Data Model for your data but want to create your own set of visuals using customized UI. Also well suited if you don't want to be restricted by the limitations of other BI tools like PowerBI and Tableau and if you want to deploy the dashboards to a website in your own domain.

Our organization is using GoodData to provide business insight into e-commerce performance. We check the dashboards on a daily basis which gives us almost a real-time overview of the revenue, best-selling products, and warehouse status. We connected data directly from the Magento database which allows us to directly analyze all the data without zero code or a need from the IT departments. It helps us to track performance, adjust ad campaigns and monitor our purchase ROAS.
It gives an in-depth analytical view of our raw data directly from the database. Before using GoodData, we had to implement our inhouse analytical solutions which took time and were slow to react to the business needs. With GoodData we are able to deliver fine-grained dashboards in days not months.
  • Simple way of connecting any database
  • An easy way how to model data
  • An appealing look of the dashboards
  • I would appreciate a more examples how to build a "standard" dashboards.
  • I would appreciate a more control over the data loading, for example to load some tables based on the queries instead of full loads (similar to the views on a database level)
  • I would appreciate to somehow adjust the data being analyzed with SQL-like queries as in the BigQuery for example.
GoodData is solving in a very good way "read-only" or immutable dashboards. If I would need to have more controls e.g a custom filtering on the dashboard sometimes it's really hard to achieve what you need.

I use GoodData in order to easily embed data analytics solutions and dashboards into my client-facing application interface.

The reason I've chosen GoodData is because I'm able to provide easily accessible complex functionality to non technical users, and deliver them exactly what they need.
GoodData addresses two business problems for us - accessibility and interactivity.

By us being able to deliver an interactove easy to access dashboard and insights to our customers we've been able to build trust and retention by being able to prompty and concretely address the feedbacj of our customers.
  • customer support
  • provides modern and robust technology
  • focuses on key business problems
  • documentation
GoodData is well suited when you need to provide any kind of information insights within your application to the end user.
There are plenty of analytical tools on the market, but not all make it this easy to access the analytical capabilities for regular end users.
