Overall Satisfaction with Google Data Studio

We used it for making Dashboards, reports to show to the management with a great impression, as its easy to read. Its feature of converting data collected from various connectors to the graphs is fantastic. It can be integrated with almost more than 300 connectors. Reports created in Crux forms looks visually good by using different type of graphs.
  • Data management
  • Calculations
  • Data visualization
  • Interactivity
  • Few functionalities are very exclusive only for data studio.
  • It's time taking to load data and at the same time only single Data source can be connected.
  • When editing the reports you have to switch between Edit and View mode to see how does the change looks like.
  • The ability to integrate and pull data from multiple datasources.
  • When editing the reports you have to switch between Edit and View mode
  • Flexibility to make PDF reports and making them as you want it's bit easier than other softwares.
In comparison to Kibana , its much easier and being free its worth a lot. Apart from that it has flexibility of connecting to more than 300 connectors, which is not there in Kibana. Apart from that no doubt its much better that in terms of visualization of Data, analytics etc.

And being free software also it's sometime easier for organizations to use free software if they are going to use it for some limited functionality.

Do you think Looker Studio delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Looker Studio's feature set?

Yes

Did Looker Studio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Looker Studio go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Looker Studio again?

Yes

Editing the reports is little bit tricky or time consuming , as we have have to switch between Edit and View mode to see the effect of doing changes. So basically , it's not user friendly at making reports. Whereas on the other hand when it comes to integration , i think its really good as it provides more than 300 connectors, I haven't used all of them but it's a good option.
