Looker Review | TrustRadius

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Looker to create canned reporting and dashboards across multiple departments. What is nice is that it helps sync up departments to be using the same data. It also empowers end users to develop their own dashboards. There is a little bit of a learning curve that we're still trying to work through.

Pros and Cons

Unified data across the company
Quick simple visualizations

Can't do advanced visualization like density plots, histograms, box plots

Alternatives Considered

Tableau Desktop,R

R is nice for advanced vizes but the learnin curve is much steeper.

Nice because Looker uses SQL which allows for easy data merging.

Collaboration and Sharing

It's decent.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for automating and scheduling simple reports that involve counts or time series graphs.
