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.

We were kinda fast and running for our basic needs, but when we needed some specific needs, like some implementation with the SSO as a seamless connection experience, it took us a while, and we encountered some issues for this part. The LDM brought us some issues and frustrations. Adding new fields on an existing LDM caused us some issues. It wasn't really a seamless experience because we couldn't put the type we wanted on the new field. There are multiple types possible that are properly set when we drag and drop an existing db model inside the LDM, but if we manually create one that we added to our model, we are limited on the type that we can set. Doing a new drag and drop creates some issues with the existing model, renaming existing fields. Some queries with the MAQL engine aren't really fun and easy to deal with. It looks like SQL but it is far from being SQL, it brings some frustrations. Some many-to-many relations were also a little bit tough to deal with, it didn't work the way we expected it to work. Some parts of the documentation weren't really clear.

It took us around 2 weeks to implement the platform with our existing system and another 2 weeks to start the implementations in real time. As soon as we were ready to go it was like butter smooth experience for us. The beginning was a bit time consuming as the team needs proper training and time to understand and start with this.

It took us more than 3 weeks to get up and start things to run with our existing system and data sources. We did sett up dashboards for performance monitoring, and customizing reports for financial analysis and project tracking. User training, to ensure effective utilization, while ongoing support from GoodData ensures smooth operations. The implementation enhances data-driven decision-making, improving overall efficiency as well.

To be honest, onboarding process with GoodData was remarkably swift. From purchase to implementation, we seamlessly integrated the platform into our workflow within a short timeframe. The user-friendly interface and comprehensive documentation provided by GoodData significantly expedited our learning curve, allowing us to quickly leverage its powerful analytics capabilities to enhance our decision-making processes.

The implementation timeline for GoodData was quick, and I was up and running in no time. The straightforward setup made the process hassle-free. As for customization, we did a bit to tailor GoodData to our organization's needs. The flexibility of the product allowed us to make some specific adjustments, ensuring it aligns perfectly with our workflow. Overall, the transition was smooth, and the product's user-friendly interface played a significant role in making the onboarding process seamless.

After making the purchase it took us four to five weeks to get things running with our systems. Initially, it was really a task for us to setup as it's way too complex but once it's all done the way it does your reports and analytics are just magical. There is a room for better onboarding experience and easier setup as well.

It took several years to get GoodData up and running for our organization. We are currently in beta mode with our customers. The reason for the extended time of implementation was experimentation with customized Azure connectors and trying to solve latency requirements that could not be met due to the time for the data pipeline to the platform and subsequent batch.

it was within a few weeks we were able to start delivering reports. We transitioned off another BI platform so some effort involved on determining what we should and should not migrate. We did have some highly customized reporting initially that we engaged the professional services team to aid getting us up and running with ingesting data from Google Analytics and getting it to accurately report for a specific product we sell. In parallel, we also worked through a completely separate subject matter and got that workspace up and running with some initial reporting within the first six weeks of purchase. We were able to get three additional workspaces up an going within the first six months, with some highly complex models and robust end user dashboards

Implementing GoodData was a relatively swift process for our organization. From purchase to full integration, it took approximately four weeks. The platform's user-friendly interface contributed to a smooth onboarding experience. While the out-of-the-box features met most of our requirements, we did spend an additional two weeks on customization to tailor certain analytics and dashboards to our specific digital marketing needs. This process involved collaboration with the GoodData support team, who provided valuable insights and assistance throughout the customization phase.

It took us about a week to a week and a half to get a proof of concept going, and then to get it going fully, probably an additional week and a half. We had a specific set up that GoodData is not fully accustomed to where we wanted to use GoodData as a backend-only solution, where we would display data using our own/third party graphing library, have our own endpoints on our backend which internally call GoodData's API via the JavaScript library.

We started working with GoodData in early 2022; we did not buy a license until a couple of months later because it was in the Proof of Concept state at that time, from the time of the start of our development of the final product to its initial Minimally Viable Product was about four months since then we have added functionality to suite the needs of our customers.

In just three months, it is feasible to configure a robust data model within GoodData and obtain key user approvals. The platform's user-friendly interface and pre-built templates expedite the data modeling process. Collaboration with stakeholders and end-users is facilitated by easy data sharing and interactive dashboards, expediting the approval process. With efficient implementation and a dedicated team, achieving data model configuration and approvals in the given timeframe is achievable.

After purchasing we were able to have an initial version of our implementation up within days. Additional enhancements followed but that progress was not limited by the GoodData team.

We needed some engineering support and we extended our trial in order to have some time to run a complete proof of concept. Our trial lasted one and a half months but we were able to set it up from the first week. The change between trial and normal account happened seamlessly.

I was not involved with designing the data model for the product. But it was very easy to learn GoodData and be up and running with it. It has a simple report editor that is easy to use, and the MAQL language is similar enough to other reporting tools, so it is very easy to pickup

We've been working with GD reports for the better part of the last 13 years so we can get up and running pretty quickly these days. In the beginning I'm sure there was a lag in getting up to speed.
