Overall Satisfaction with Looker

Looker is used company-wide, and it allows any analyst or business user to make smart decisions backed by data. Looker connects to all of our databases, be it AWS or GCP, and helps us to mash and analyze it in a single space.

Pros

  • Email schedules for reports.
  • Dashboard reporting.
  • New and advanced charting, and analytical capabilities.
  • It does very well with query optimization and displaying results.

Cons

  • More charting colors and default scheme options.
The connection setup is very easy, and our team has set it up with little or no difficulty!
Sharing is a robust feature of Looker. I like how we can share just bare links, and the other end-user just takes off from there to do their own version of the analysis. Scheduling reports and dashboards with a plethora of options like pdf, email, csv and html files is just a breeze.
Looker is the best BI tool for an enterprise-level company. It allows everyone to work on their space and create reports and dashboards. They have done a great job with their own simpler version of SQL like language to set up tables, called lookml, which is very easy to write, and the documentation on it is excellent! Their customer support is phenomenal! What could be better are their filtering options and visualization options.

Yes, over an issue when my data was not displaying correctly due to some issue with the lookml behaving differently. This resulted in a big email chain with support and product, and our IT team going back and forth and getting use cases. They followed us and kept us in the loop the entire time!
