Overall Satisfaction with Google Data Studio
Google Data Studio is being used to produce reports and dashboards for use across the entire organization. We have a large number of applications on which metrics must be reported. As a Google Premier customer, Google Data Studio was the logical choice as it provides the reports and dashboards we need in a cost-effective way.
Pros
- Charting
- Multiple data sources
- reporting
- Scheduled transmission of reports
Cons
- It's reporting and dash-boarding lacks the interactivity of Tableau.
- As a developer, I find the layout and formatting options somewhat limited.
- It is somewhat difficult to organization reports and dashboards into folders.
- There seems to be no integration with any external source control provider.
- We now have the ability to provide consolidated dashboards to the C-level execs.
- Scheduled reports allow teams to more proactively monitor and manage issues.
Google holds it's own against these competitors as they each have their own strengths and weaknesses. While Tableau provides user-interactive reporting, its formatting options can be quickly rigid and frustrating.
