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.

Microsoft Power BI, Tableau Cloud and Looker
Chose GoodData
I have used all softwares in my past 10 years of experience. GoodData stands out with its seamless data integration, advanced predictive analytics, and collaborative features. Unlike Tableau and Power BI, GoodData offers scalable solutions with a user-friendly interface for …
Chose GoodData
Choosing between GoodData and other platforms was clear for me as the superiority of GoodData over others due to our needs. GoodData stands out for its awesome dashboards, robust predictive analytics, reports, and analysis. Data integration helps us for business intelligence …
Chose GoodData
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 …

Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
RStudio requires custom code from programmers and the decision was made to move to software instead of software developers. Microsoft Power BI didn't have the right data subscription capabilities for our customers.

Google Analytics works well but it does not have all of the bells and whistles that Periscope Data offers. Google Analytics is best used in a Google environment but if you are using other tools and programs outside of the Google universe, then Periscope Data is a much better …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope is far more robust than these two similar products. For a start up just getting going they are fine alternatives, but as your business scales Google Charts becomes a hassle to manage and Keap becomes too much of a generalized product. While your business increases it …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope is by far the best we looked at - I was evaluating as a user, not the primary decision maker, and user interface and ease of use was the primary factor in my decision. It is very easy to navigate and manipulate, and has an overall very polished view.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope's lightweight footprint and customizable SQL-based reports make it a better choice for us than Tableau or Microsoft BI. We deal with millions of rows of transactional data in a SQL Server data warehouse, so having seamless front-end integration makes reporting seamless.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
We use Jira here at SDC, as well as Periscope. These programs are use together and they work in tandem to get the issues resolved.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Sharing of visualisations and rapid prototypen/building, ease of use. UX is 20x better.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
LookML was able to simplify development of views involving window calculations, but slowed down the overall development cycle as minor SQL edits required heavy code reviews.

Tableau has great interactive options but has proved non-performant with our database mix (MySQL, …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
This is currently our primary visualization tool. There is no real option to do any meaningful math on your data, and you only have access to a very, very limited subset of information you stream into the cache. Periscope far exceeds this tool with the ability to combine data …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Different in the sense that you need to be able to manipulate data with Periscope while you just need to understand how data is manipulated with Amplitude (Periscope = you need to master SQL vs Amplitude = you need to understand the logic of SQL). Periscope is a more powerful …
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
Periscope Data enables data wrangling and is more familiar to SQL-savvy people - which are mostly analysts. Writing query is not really tedious for them, so it is not a huge problem. Quick and nice response from Periscope support is really helpful for the users.
Chose Sisense for Cloud Data Teams
I have not utilized any other tools like Periscope so it's hard to say how it stacks up against its competition.

User Testimonials
GoodDataSisense for Cloud Data Teams
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

  • Built-in SQL formatters take the pain out of manipulating date/time objects.

Cons
  • 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
Read full review
  • Some of the dashboards can be slow to load; especially when they have lots of features and widgets.
  • The software could be made a little easier for people that don't have a data or programming background.
  • It is pricey so not a great option for small companies or research/home projects.

Usability
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.

My company has had Periscope for various use cases in the past and I think that this program opens up complex data reports to non-technical people in a really accessible way (even though the learning curve is a big one). We are now integrating Sisense for Cloud Data Teams at a larger level both for internal data exploration and for customer facing dashboards and reports.

Periscope is far more robust than these two similar products. For a start up just getting going they are fine alternatives, but as your business scales Google Charts becomes a hassle to manage and Keap becomes too much of a generalized product. While your business increases it is generally best to get multiple specialized pieces of technology to help you maintain integrity in your data, and Periscope Data allows. Worth the money.
