Overall Satisfaction with GoodData

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used to allow customer visualizations embedded within our main platform. This means all data analytics can be viewed in a single place and consistency across customers is easy.

Removed the need for developers to re-create analytics dashboards, so data science can create analytics and developers can work on developing core functionality not copying work between platforms.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Nice range of visuals
Easy to apply consistent branding
Allows maps visuals to be used effectively

Cons

Quite inflexible when you want to create custom dimensions or ranges
LDM can be difficult to work with once many data sources are introduced (circular references etc)

Return on Investment

Halved data visualization development time for customer
Lower cost than previous BI tool

Usability

Can be frustrating to work with but works well for less complex tasks

Self-Service Analytics

Ability to create own dashboards and visuals and customise using workspace filters

Alternatives Considered

Looker, Microsoft Power BI and Copperleaf Enterprise Decision Analytics
