Overall Satisfaction with Google Data Studio

We make use of Google Data Studio in order to can insight into large amounts of statistical data we have stored in BigQuery. We run reports and generate some visualizations to allow people to better understand the data. This allows non-technical people to get the benefits of the data without too much trouble.
  • Ability to define reports.
  • Report against a large amount of data quickly.
  • Data visualizations.
  • More difficult for non-technical people to use.
  • It can be a little cumbersome to get everything setup and running.
  • The documentation could be a lot better.
  • Time consuming to build all the reports and dashboards, but are valuable resource for sharing insights.
  • Bringing data together from various sources allowed us to see correlations that may have gone unnoticed.
We are heavily within the Google ecosystem and therefore didn't really consider alternatives to Google Data Studio since it met our somewhat limited needs at the time of implementation. For outside presentations, we would probably lean towards something that allows us to more easily create more aesthetically pleasing views.
