GoodData Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about it I like is the ability to have a glimpse of the performance trends among different sections of the business. It simplifies the process of determining what should be attended to and utilize resources in the most efficient manner. Connecting it to our CRM and accounting systems, I will be able to view the relationship between various metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The aspect I do not like about GoodData is that it may be difficult and time-consuming to create new dashboards and data views when the unusual cases arise. Although, the insights are valuable when ready, they have to be carefully made to avoid making mistakes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most desirable aspect of GoodData is that it enables data to be comprehensible in various systems. We apply it along with Salesforce and our online sales tools to be able to monitor the trends and the results in a single place. I like the fact that I can create a report on each team and I can see the exact report that the team requires. That transparency allows us to strategize campaigns, track progress and pass information effectively between the marketing, sales and product unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the weaknesses I have observed with GoodData is that it is not always easy to develop sophisticated dashboards. When we require customized visualisations to use in campaigns, it might require a number of attempts to have it in the way we desire. This may slow down reporting in the busy seasons. The platform itself is powerful, and the additional time is required to set it up, which occasionally postpones the availability of insights to make decisions.

The feature I like the most about GoodData is that it enables our team to view important business metrics in a single location without having to use several systems. I apply it often in financial transactions to monitor performance of the budget, expenses and KPIs by the departments. The trend can be easily comprehended since the number of features of dashboards, visualization and segmentation is small. We also integrate it with SAP to ensure that financial data is updated automatically and hence a lot of time in manual reconciliation is saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first weakness I have identified about GoodData is that some of their advanced dashboards are time-consuming to set up. This occasionally makes insight delivery to our other departments delay in our finance and operations teams. The platform has many features, which makes it possible to learn through trial and error what specific KPI configuration would be best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most significant difference is that it liberates our engineering team of developing internal data pages. It is frequently used in the planning process. Its comprehensive feature list in relation to access controls and presentation profiles enable the process of making decisions in a structured manner. Planning was required to implement the same, but there was customer support when required. This has led to us spending more time in product innovation as opposed to building data infrastructure on our own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion, the most significant limitation is the reliance on structured setup in the case of expanding the usage. The stages of implementation should be planned, and one can expect unforeseen changes that add to the workload of engineers. The high number of features is potent but introduces administrative headaches. Guiding customer support is not immediate, and sophisticated cases are resolved. Such issues have affected our release date and compelled us to allocate resources in different ways. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that all the dashboards in GoodData look alike. It’s easy for the dashboard users to navigate different dashboards as the layout is almost always the same. The integration with Keboola is good and easy to use. I also find GoodData backups useful as they help when changes in table structure in Keboola lead to dropping visualizations in GoodData without warning. Also they have great support.

I dislike that you need to define all the metrics in GoodData manually. Other tools let you choose from a dropdown where 'sum' is the default, but in GoodData, you have to write metric definitions for everything. Also, GoodData warnings don’t propagate into Keboola, so changes in table structure in Keboola can lead to dropping visualizations in GoodData without warning.

It’s a very powerful tool with an attractive graphical user interface. It provides real-time, graphical performance analysis, and I really appreciate the flexibility of its user roles as well as its support for multiple data sources. I also like the intuitive drag-and-drop designer; overall, it has been an excellent addition to our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance may need some tuning when working with large datasets, since a few features feel limited in that context. It would also be helpful to have additional tools for managing user authentication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about GoodData is that it is integrated with tools that we already have and, in particular, Salesforce and our internal database. I use it in my day-to-day practices as an e-commerce marketer to generate sales and performance of the campaigns in a single platform. It has an impressive assortment of dashboard building capabilities. The IT had to be coordinated with in order to implement it but once that was implemented we began using it daily since it had become part of our routine reporting.

The disadvantage I identify with GoodData is that it is complex when setting up especially when connecting a number of systems. The IT team was required to take a considerable amount of time to create data models. When the structures of the databases change, it does not change immediately, and that influences the frequency of relying on it to make fast decisions. The platform has numerous features and this at times complicate new users hence slowing down productivity during the initial weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The positive aspect of GoodData that I like most is that it helps build confidence in decision making. Being aware of the fact that the numbers will not change overnight makes me talk to the teams better. I apply it on a regular basis, and it has minimized tension during reviews and executive meetings. I do not need to defend figures since I can be more effective by concentrating on the explanation of implications, which has led to my better performance at work.

What I dislike about GoodData is that change can be really sluggish in cases where business questions change. Even minor changes can involve additional procedures, which influences my performance when it is essential to meet a strict deadline. This can at times translate to take longer than anticipated before updates are made to the business particularly when the leadership requires fast clarification in situations where it is needed most.

I appreciate being able to create standard reports that apply across all clients, and it provides a lot of practical, intuitive tools. It also lets you create scripts for virtually any application, and I really like how flexible the app is when it comes to finding the data you need. On top of that, it offers many additional ready-to-use configuration options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has far exceeded our expectations on several occasions, the product is extremely flexible and has a wide range of features. Absolutely nothing has been disappointing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the rapid data modeling feature, and the product also has strong, reliable data security. It connects smoothly to all of our data sources and has significantly improved our overall data analysis capabilities. Query performance remains excellent even with large volumes of data, and it continues to work well as we scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, the experience has been good, and it has completely transformed the way we handle analytics. As a user, my experience has been seamless, and I’m able to query massive datasets quickly and without friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
