User Testimonials
	DataHero	GoodData
Likelihood to Recommend	DataHero ensures every business user in my organization is up to date on key performance metrics and insights through robust data analytics and a configurable data dashboard. Incentivized RM Rogelio Morales Senior Manager, Email Marketing & Operations Read full review	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.
