What GoodData is
GoodData is a web-based business intelligence platform for exploring and reporting on data. It supports real-time refresh, natural-language queries, scheduled reports, and embedded analytics. Teams can define governed metrics, dimensions, and joins, then use the query API to work with their data. Row-level security is available to control access. GoodData offers hybrid deployment, with the Professional plan listing unlimited users and data in one environment; the Enterprise plan lists three environments and a 99.5% guaranteed uptime SLA. Neither plan has a listed price. The service is paid, with pricing available on request and a 30-day trial; there is no free plan. GoodData was founded in 2007 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. It runs on the web, so its listed platform is suited to teams seeking analytics through a browser rather than a desktop application.
