Overall Satisfaction with Looker
Our organization is using Looker to provide data access to the entire organization, build for scale, and to enable all departments to pull their own data.
- Able to connect to multiple different data sources
- Easy data filtering and navigation
- Clean visualizations and easy to download the data
- Looker lacks the ability to provide 'and' operators when filtering. Only 'or' is provided
- Looker lacks the ability to auto create a data dictionary for defined dimensions and measures within the software. A person must access the API to create one, which is rather inconvenient
- Looker lacks the ability to display descriptions on the Lookml Dashboard view, which is a list of dashboards where descriptions are not displayed
Tableau has an adoption issue of having to upgrade to the most recent Tableau reader. In my experience it was very difficult to get the sales team to do this.
microstrategy was the most overly complicated reporting software I have ever used. You need a consultant to do anything, and forget about adoption.
Looker is a no-brainer compared to both.
