Overall Satisfaction with Looker
We use Looker to visualize data for business intelligence and create custom reports that combine data from several internal applications, databases, and other sources. Our customer-facing teams use Looker to keep track of account growth and other customer metrics when supporting or succeeding our customers. Looker has been much easier for our team to use than other data visualization and reporting tools we've tried in the past.
Pros
- Customization of reports.
- Easily create visualizations from datasets.
- Combine multiple data sources into a single report.
Cons
- Navigation of multi-page dashboards is a bit tricky.
- Permissions and sharing can be challenging to manage.
- Notifications when fundamental metrics change.
- Looker has given us the tools to make sense of internal data.
- Without Looker, we'd be stuck looking at spreadsheets all day long.
- Looker is included with our Google Workspace subscription, so it costs nothing extra.
The learning curve for Tableau Cloud was too steep for our team. After watching a couple of YouTube videos, anyone can begin connecting data sources and creating reports with Looker. Looker is also free with Google Workspace, making the decision between Looker and Tableau a no-brainer. We won't be trying Tableau again any time soon.
