Daikin acquired Goodman in August 2012 for $3.7 billion. This purchase transformed Daikin into the world’s largest HVAC manufacturer by securing a dominant position in the North American residential market.
Rebranding: Effective April 1, 2022, the corporate entity was renamed Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc. to unify its brand identity.
Key Brands: Under this ownership, Daikin manages the Goodman, Amana, and Quietflex HVAC lines.
Facilities: Operations are consolidated at the Daikin Texas Technology Park in Houston, a 4.1 million square foot facility opened in 2017.

As another poster indicated, their split units are present in more and more homes.

Likely as good any other name brand in the HVAC industry. One potential upside is the entire line of Daikan products use R-32 refrigerant, where the rest of the USA HVAC industry chose to go with R-454B refrigerant. R454B, at least for sometime, was difficult to get and uber expensive, much more so than R-32, causing some major issues for HVAC firms and of course their clients. More than a few HVAC firms, small independents, switched to installing Daikan products for this reason alone.
R-32 refrigerant is a pure refrigerant with a long history of use. R454B is blended refrigerant of R-32 + R1234yf. Watch the first 5 to 10 min of this tech’s video, he’ll explain why he prefers R-32.
FWIW, R-410A which most older residential systems have is a blend of R-32 + R125. The old R-22, good stuff, was a pure refrigerant, but phased out by EPA some years back b/c of its high Global Warming Potential (GWP). R410A is being phased out for the same reason.

My BIL is in A/C business and says they are fine.
Obviously, more pricey but he really raves over the Bosch system

Just got one. Time will tell I guess. Not any cheaper than Trane, York, etc. My next door neighbor owns the local HVAC company and it’s their go-to now. Known him long enough to know he wouldn’t push a brand on me to make a buck if it wasn’t a solid product.
