Overall Satisfaction with Looker

Looker is an ETL (extract, transform, load) software, which means that it has the ability to ingest data. Users can create dashboards in various flavors, such as dashboards, reports and line graphs. The platform looks well-designed and is really easy to navigate. All the three columns and the dropdown boxes are well thought-out. These offer a level of customization to an extent that you can further customize them according to your needs.
  • The core-visibility lets you monitor your entire workflow along with live data.
  • The user interface makes the task of figuring out the data easy.
  • Find the relevant data that your business needs.
  • Build models on the fly.
  • Customer service could be more responsive.
  • Platform can be expensive depending on the level of your business.
  • The platform allows you to create visual representations of your data and store them in charts, graphs and maps.
  • Gives the business owner the flexibility to visualize their data in a real time manner, thereby enabling the business owner to be on top of their data and understand its dynamics.
Looker is widely used and trusted within the data analytics industry, so this is the main reason why we chose it and selected it over other software. Also, the interface is pretty easy to use so it was good for our team since everyone could learn quickly.

Would you buy Looker again?

Yes

This product is very usable and easy to learn for almost anyone. You can go into the software and be able to complete simple tasks at any point.
The support team could definitely be better in terms of response time. Anytime I have had issues and sent emails, it took days to receive a response back. Sometime issues are urgent.
I don't know of any business that doesn't need analytics and data mining in their business, so it is well suited for almost any business out there.
