GDS has made it easier to present complex analytics to stakeholders who are 'significantly more visual' in their approach.

This tool is free of cost so yes no investments only returns

Once the reports are set up, this definitely saves time on the regular reporting deadlines (monthly, biweekly, etc.)

However, when you run into a roadblock while translating a current report into GDS (i.e. GDS doesn't have a feature you need), it's hard to work around it. So until GDS becomes extremely robust, there are still cases where it can't be used.

Save time by using Google Data Studio

Make better decision using data provided from Google Data Studio

All this is free! There is no cost to the business.

Google Data Studio, being no cost, has an infinite ROI.

Free, so the only investment is time

I can send a periodic report on my clients webpages performance very easily.

Our weekly report to our clients is part pf of our service quote to our clients.

Both my team and my clients can have a quick overview of the website's performance and make decisions based on the information we gather.

I would say we have had positive impacts. Initially we used excel for reporting, but it was not so user friendly, it did not have dynamic reporting and ease of sharing options. We were able to get analyze the data deeply and have dynamic reports with Data studio. Also, with the reports we were able to identify where we were going down, where we were performing badly.

No hard number here, it just enables us to pull in data efficiently.

Application of filters and segments have made it easier to see the trends by various segment and check route cause of decline in conversions
