Chose Conga Grid
I've only used Salesforce before and am now using Conga ActionGrid. Although Salesforce is great, it is only used to log candidate information and then log actions that have been performed. With Conga ActionGrid, we are able to log more specific details about candidates, …

Chose GoodData
GoodData is much more customisable in our case so we choose this. Also when it comes to pricing part GoodData is the best economically as well and in terms of features and functionalities. As compared to others similar products I believe that GoodData is much more reliable with …
Chose GoodData
GoodData is much more focused on our use case of embedding into an existing web product, and their licensing was far more suitable for this.
Chose GoodData
GoodData has been proven best for us as it has given the most accurate analytical insights on our data. I've used other tools too but no one has been this good in terms of reporting, handling data, decision making.
Using GoodData for almost every organisational decision and …
Chose GoodData
GoodData comparing to other platform is very easy to use, customer support and on-boarding support. Set of features, speed of integration in our platform. Also great benefit for us was very competetive pricing.
Chose GoodData
All of the tools have their plusses and minuses. The one thing that stands out with Qlik is that it allows for two-way API integrations with Salesforce. This means that analytics reporting results can interact with the Salesforce application.
Chose GoodData
The primary reasons GoodData was selected was data modeling capability, ability to standardize complex metrics, quality of viaualization and multi-tenancy
Chose GoodData
GoodData has been cost effective and flexible.
Chose GoodData
The hosted GoodData platform is simple to set up and provides a clean dashboarding experience that can be shared with users easily. Other products can often try to fill the self-service and dashboard roles in one interface which can be a bit full on.
Chose GoodData
GoodData provides the largest amount of OOB features that meet our end-user needs. It means a lot that we don't need to perform development on our own. At some point, it may make sense to take items in house, but its hte best current fit.
Chose GoodData
N\A, I wasn't the one comparing the possibilities between the different products.
Chose GoodData
Microsoft Power BI, Tableau Cloud and Looker

Tableau is fantastic for visuals, and Zoho Analytics is user-friendly, but GoodData takes the cake with its seamless integration and powerful analytics. It stacks up well because it's not just about pretty graphs but it's about making data work for you. It's the perfect fit for …
Chose GoodData
GoodData is best among every other platform I used because it's a cloud based platform and way to easy to use. Its robust predictive analytics and unified data view set it way apart. While Power BI and Tableau excel in visualization, GoodData's focus on comprehensive business …
Chose GoodData
GoodData was more cost effective and did not necessitate additional spend on internal resources. The end user interface was easy to use and did not require additional set up or customization. The clients required little support from the Prometric staff to use the product.
Chose GoodData
I was involved in the decision making but not final decision maker. Ease of implementation for GoodData vs Cognos (used for 15 years in multiple companies). I think Tableau's visualizations are better, but there is much that just can't be done in Tableau that GoodData handles …
Chose GoodData
Klipfolio is excellent for non-embedded, non-distributed use cases, where GoodData covers those use cases.
Chose GoodData
GoodData's advantage in real-time data processing compared to Power BI can be attributed to several factors:
  • Immediate Data Insights
  • Better Handling of High-Velocity Data:
Chose GoodData
I was only involved with the final selection and did not actually go into detail on other platforms, I did confirm the findings of my colleague, but I did have a hand in the final decision.
Chose GoodData
The developer who chose GoodData really liked the visualizations that were included and the metrics that we could edit and change.
Chose GoodData
Looker and GoodData are both powerful BI platforms, but they have distinct strengths. Looker offers seamless integration with Google Sheets, enabling easy data import and analysis. On the other hand, GoodData excels in data modeling, providing a user-friendly interface for …

User Testimonials
Conga GridGoodData
Likelihood to Recommend
If a user has to perform a specific update over many records, don't use a List view... use Grid. It allows users to quickly track their work, set additional formatting preferences and avoid constantly tracking work outside of Salesforce which leads data discrepencies and errors.

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
  • Sometimes Conga goes slower when using it at a high volume
  • Being able to pull more data through LinkedIn and Indeed
  • Job match function

  • 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

Usability
It could be easier to create views or there could be additional training with step by step examples in conga community

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.

Support Rating
In general, Conga is a strong company with a depth of talent in its support team. However, when new releases occur, the changes can be somewhat jarring to users as the interface does not offer the ability to hide or show messages related to the changes - all users get the same messaging from Conga around changes to their tool.

The fast and comprehensive responses we got from GoodData regarding the doubts we had experienced while starting to use the products and metrics were of great help in ensuring the metrics we were obtaining were accurate to what we wanted to know about our customers' experience and our product areas of opportunity.
