With GoodData, IT runs the behind-the-scenes works such as maintaining security and infrastructure, while users develop reports and dashboards. In its platform, GoodData adheres to five steps: collect, store, combine, analyze and visualize. Data can be altered from various data sources regardless of its size and structure- Oracle and MySQL (databases), on-premise sources such as social networking sites and Salesforce, and demographics and weather (public data) are all fair game.

GoodData also employs a data management storage service where data is stored on premises and assimilates “Grand Architecture’ technologies such as HP Vertica, Hadoop, Rackspace and MongoDB. Users are able to conduct analytical functions through GoodData’s statistical features library. They can then visualize their data through interactive dashboards.

There are pre-built dashboard templates for companies in marketing, customer service fields and sales. For example, GoodData offers marketing analytics dashboards aimed at advertising, marketing demands, eCommerce and social. On one dashboard, markets can assess the reception of their media campaigns or juxtapose the performances of particular social media networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook. GoodData has the ability to trail negative or positive client feedback, or even analyze the performances of customer service representatives.

Good for newbies

GoodData has enabled us to create reports that cater to every individual user and user type, without exhausting efforts. With a single dashboard using filters and a variety of reports, we can cater to all users. Although it can take time to set up and get right, once ready, it's gold."

Pros

I appreciate the organization methods, ease of use (after getting familiar with it), good range of chart types, and extensive formatting options.

Cons

When putting many reports on a dashboard, depending on the layering, it can cause issues with the individual report icon, making it tedious for users to find and select the view/download option for a given report.

Pros

I appreciate the platform's business intelligence capabilities which allow us to bring all analytical tools to our teams, including clients.
GoodData is a cost-effective solution compared to other similar options in the market, and it's fully customizable, allowing us to adapt it easily to our business flow.
It's also highly controllable, making it easy for all staff to handle without requiring advanced technical knowledge.

Cons

Personally, I believe that collaboration tools are essential in the profitability analysis process, especially for companies whose business flow is expanding.
Although we have implemented a team focused on this process, it would be beneficial to have this function integrated into the platform.
