The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about GoodData.

  • Pricing scales per workspace as customer base grows, increasing costs with scale
  • Advanced security features like audit logging and HIPAA compliance only on Enterprise plan
