Overall Satisfaction with GoodData

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use GoodData to extend the reporting capabilities of our app and allow our clients to build custom reports that deliver on their specific business needs. By embedding GoodData within our app, customers do not need to manage multiple log ins or leave the application to view critical reports and take action upon that data.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Low barrier to entry for users not familiar with BI tools
Documentation is generally helpful
UI is clean and simple

Cons

Product offerings are fragmented. Often some features are only found in one version of a product, but not another
Reports can be slow to load
Some advanced BI capabilities are not as robust as competition

Usability

Getting familiar with GoodData's UI can be a bit quirky at first, especially if you come from other BI solutions. However, if the primary users of GoodData generally do not come from a strong data science background yet need the power and flexibility of a BI tool it is a great use case for that persona.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Power BI, Tableau Cloud and Looker
