SAN FRANCISCO – June 12, 2014 – GoodData, the leader in cloud business intelligence, today announced that it earned first place for cloud business intelligence functionality in the 2014 Wisdom of Crowds ® Cloud Business Intelligence Market Study. GoodData was rated above 22 other BI vendors for its feature functionality and architecture.
Scores were based on feature functionality including advanced visualization, personalized dashboards, end-user self-service, interactive analysis, in-memory support, data integration and embedded BI as well as architectural functionality including public and private cloud, multi-tenancy, cloud application connections and more. The report found that Cloud BI importance showed visible gains year over year since 2012 in all positive levels of importance, reflected in a rising mean measurement of sentiment.

"This year we see that Cloud BI has shown visible gains since 2012 in all positive levels of importance, with more than 75 percent of respondents considering cloud BI models at least somewhat important. We congratulate GoodData on their placement in this year's study."
