Looker vs. Purple WiFi

Quick dashboards from Google Sheets - Easier to do the graphs than in Google Sheets - Operational dashboards to be used in the day-to-day work - It is good both for retrospective data and to do a pulse check of the current status - Better for not giant amounts of data and not multiple data sources. - If you need a lot of graphs to be displayed on the same page, it can be a bit glitchy during configuration (then the use works fine).

Purple Wifi is well suited for an organization with an open to public head office. The number of visitors will increase your guest data collection and thus helps with targeted marketing within compliance. Purple Wifi is also useful for network analysis and tweaking to increase overall efficiency. Purple Wifi has limited uses for organizations with no public visits.

• Filtering - you can filter across different dimensions and metrics to get a more specific "cut" of data
• Refreshing - data automatically ingests into Looker which allows reports to be updated and backfilled in real time
• Conditional Reporting - you can leverage Looker's reporting features to flag when a given metric or KPI falls below or above a specified threshold. For example, if you had a daily sales benchmark in a SAAS organization, you could use Looker to flag whenever daily sales falls above or below the benchmark

• Looker is less graphical or pictorial which makes it less attractive
• Consumes a lot of memory when there are multiple rows and columns, impacts performance too
• At times when we download huge chunks of raw data from Looker dashbords, the time taken to prepare the file is enormous - The user fails to understand if Looker has frozen or if the data is getting prepared in the background for downloading. In turn, user ends up triggering multiple downloads

We are very haooy with Looker, it provides us with all the funciomalities we need for both the day to day oerformance tracking and longer periods reporting. It is easy to use for account managers, configurable and customizable for soecialists and what is most imoortant, our clinets generally really love it

Looker is relatively easy to use, even as it is set up. The customers for the front-end only have issues with the initial setup for looker ml creations. Other "looks" are relatively easy to set up, depending on the ETL and the data which is coming into Looker on a regular basis.

Somehow resources heavy, both on server and client. I recommned at least 50Mbs data rate and high performance desktop comouter to be abke to run comolex tasks and configure larger amount of data. On the other hand, the client does not need to worry when viewing, the performance is usually ok

Never had to work with support for issues. Any questions we had, they would respond promptly and clearly. The one-time setup was easy, by reading documentation. If the feature is not supported, they will add a feature request. In this case, LDAP support was requested over OKTA. They are looking into it.

Looker is an off-the-shelf, free tool for Google business users. Other than the internal cost of time to build, we had no costs to set up what we needed to do. Knowledge sharing internally and using templates greatly reduced this cost, making the overall cost very low.

In terms of features and productivity, Purple WiFi is a more complete software experience. More variety of features, more technical for those who know how to get their way around the clunky UI and better user management. Baidu WiFi Hotspot can offer some user control, but it can pale in comparison to Purple WiFi's offering.
