## What the models said for it

- "Choose GoodData/Looker if you are building a software product (SaaS) and need the analytics to look like part of the app itself." (Qwen 3.7 Flash, Embedded analytics)
- "platforms like Sisense, GoodData, ThoughtSpot, and Explo were purpose-built for that use case" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Embedded analytics)
- "Top for Scalability: GoodData, ThoughtSpot (strong multi-tenant/AI)." (Grok 4.1 Fast, Embedded analytics)
- "GoodData is a robust platform designed for enterprise-grade multi-tenancy and semantic governance" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Embedded analytics)

## And against it

- "Avoid: Looker, Domo, ThoughtSpot, and GoodData if budget is your primary constraint" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Embedded analytics)
- "Don't use: GoodData (complexity, pricing, proprietary language)" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Embedded analytics)
- "Steep learning curve (proprietary MAQL language); per-workspace pricing scales poorly for multi-tenant" (Grok 4.1 Fast, Embedded analytics)
- "criticized for having fewer visualization choices than traditional BI tools" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Embedded analytics)
