For now coders, I would emphasize them to use drag and drop functionality. Otherwise, WPS Analytics is a robust tool for app development and data visualization that offers multiple languages such as SAS, SQL, R, and Python.

If you have consistently formatted data, that you want regular reports on, plus flexibility to let end users build their own reports, GoodData is perfect. Especially if your end users are less technical. If you want to be able to embed your reporting into your app, GoodData excels, though the start up process can be involved. If your data structure varies, it could be more challenging to integrate. It may also not be worth the integration if you have people who can already run their own SQL queries.

Cons
  • SAS functionality has to lack.
  • There's no online guideline, making it hard to solve problems.

  • 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

Each client I have worked with and spoken too has renewed their GoodData subscription. I know of not one to date that has cancelled. The GoodData platform has a very high rate of renewal from the discussions I have had with their internal teams as well

Usability
No answers on this topic
GoodData provided us with strong overall usability and provided us a platform for various business analytics. Its user-friendly and insightful reports and also the dashboards. Me and my team really appreciate the platform's ability to streamline decision-making processes. However, there is a learning curve during initial setup as I mentioned before. Continuous improvements in the onboarding could further enhance GoodData's usability as well.

Alternatives Considered
To better understand the data I work with, I extensively use the data discovery and visualization tools available on my workstations, and I always go for the best. Unfortunately, some other tools does not offer any tutorials for the features, making it difficult and time-consuming to analyze data, mainly after it has been implemented. In addition to videos and articles, WPS Analytics provides comprehensive tutorials for each feature.
