I love the way you can present data from multiple sources in one report. I also love the ability to blend different tables and show the information in one chart. It is easy to use and the clients love how interactive the online report is allowing them to sort by different columns, change the date range, export data to excel. Very professional reports.

some Google ads data isn't available in Looker Studio, so I have to extract from Google ads to Google Sheets and then display the Google sheet information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use, it is really simple to connect a data source and start building very simple and useful tables and charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The loading times. Despite having improved significantly since the incorporation of Looker technology into the old Data Studio, if you build combined data sources (something essential if you want to perform some calculations) you will see that the loading time is heavily burdened.

I have used several Google Cloud sevices like VM instaces, BigQuery, Looker Studio, Cloud Composer, Cloud Storage etc. and have loved the overall experience of using the GCP services. It is actually pretty smooth to set up the whole cloud environment and give roles and permissions and use services. And most of the services are able to be integrated with other softwares quite easily. You can use Airflow directly with Google cloud composer, which is pretty great. I have been using GCP services since almost two years, on a daily basis and have been loving the overall google cloud environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have faced slow data refresh rate at times with Looker Studio. It used to take a long time to get updated data in sheets and it can't handle heavy data easily.

Also, GCP has definitely matured over the years, if we compare it to AWS, but still there are several areas where the services need to be more mature.

Also, one more thing which I noticed in my previous work was that there is no option to pause a Cloud composer environment. So, one will have no other choice but to delete it since you will still get charged if you don't delete it and in case you want to pause it for a while. And you will lose all your configurations and set up you did on the environment and will have to set new. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its so easy to use, from a simple template, or to more complex templates and dashboards. Easy to integrate and implement for bringing in all sorts of data feeds to show and share with clients Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes its a bit of a pain to refresh/update some of the feeds Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looker Studio has a huge range of different data visualisation formats for you to pick and choose from. The WYSYWIG layout editor makes it really easy to create smart looking reports that are fully branded up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downsides to it are that sometimes there are data caching issues. The data gets refreshed every 15 mins so sometimes when a chart / table has "data connection" problems there is no way to manully purge the cache. You just have to wait for it to re-fetch the data itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
