Overall Satisfaction with Google Data Studio

We are a professional services organization, so we use Google Data Studio product to support our clients. We use it for a variety of use cases - simple web analytics reporting dashboards, SEO performance, cleaning up data via regex statements, executive dashboards of key metrics across a variety of platforms and custom spreadsheets. We also use this internally for the same needs, in addition to operational tracking and data visualization.

Pros

  • Efficiently displays data that you need to refer to regularly.
  • Makes data less intimidating to non-analytics stakeholders.

Cons

  • Custom calculations
  • More variety of graphs
  • It reduces time needed for gathering data and provides more time for analyzing.
Google Data Studio is simpler than Tableau. If you need advanced data visualization, Tableau is probably a better option. Infogram offers a lot more visualization built into the system but is otherwise comparable.
I've never reached out for support.
