Overall Satisfaction with Looker
Looker is being used across all of Heroku. It is used in all the major departments, such as Sales, Marketing, Product, Engineering, Customer support and Finance. It provides customer insight to all areas of the company.
- Real time dashboards
- Guided Navigation, meaning you can bring up a dashboard or report, click on a cell and drill into the foundational data.
- Central Metadata Management. LookML metadata repository and language is a game changer.
- Better visualizations. 3d graphs and charts. A little more sex and sizzle.
- Adding a new data source and/or tables should be easier.
We find Looker much easier to develop and manage. The LookML central data repository is far more robust and easy to use. The fact that Looker manages the server for you, means you never have any downtime. The other products have you managing all sorts of servers, which is a lot of overhead.
