Overall Satisfaction with Google Data Studio
Google Data Studio was used in the interim before Tableau became our tool of choice. Google Data Studio is a versatile, low-cost alternative to Tableau for data visualization. In addition to having a low cost of entry to visualization, it can be relatively easy to set up for any user with little to no experience.
- Initial setup is well supported by Google.
- Versatile, especially if utilizing other Google marketing products.
- Clean visualizations courtesy of Google's material design.
- Connecting to databases wasn't as easy to set up as Tableau.
- Not as customizable as other BI programs.
- Browser only.
- Free to use.
- Able to provide client-ready dashboards.
- Able to automate reports with third-party connectors like Supermetrics.
Google Data Studio offers the best bang for your buck because it is free to use and works well as a baseline tool/offering. It'll provide you an easy to use data visualization tool that can crank out dashboards that are client ready with support from the Google community.
