Overall Satisfaction with Looker

Looker has been deployed to our users to help them better understand our customers' data. Before Looker our customers' had a difficult time analyzing their data. In the social service's world, decisions have been typically made based on anecdotal evidence. Now with Looker, they can quickly make decisions based on real-time data.

Pros

  • Quick to implement
  • Easy to use
  • Very customizable

Cons

  • Not robust enough table calculations
I think Looker is easier to use than Business Objects, Domo, Pentaho and Tableau. Tableau offers better visualizations than Looker but the overall package in Looker is better.
We've invested a lot of time in Looker and it is doing what we need it to do.

We only connect to Mariadb.
We love the sharing, make public and scheduling capability.
Looker is perfect for any organization that wants to quickly analyze their data.
