What do you like best about Looker Studio?

Looker makes building ad-hoc dashboards effortless - once a template is made, it's as easy as plug and play to get client-ready dashboards ready to send over. Versus competitors like Whatagraph, Looker is a thousand times more advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Looker Studio?

Looker has a tendency to bury features behind obscure solutions - often the solution to any issue is possible within Looker, but requires a hunt to locate. Additionally, the way looker handles tables could be improved by allowing stacked dimensions akin to a pivot table, instead of having multiple columns dedicated to displaying the same data repetively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Looker Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Looker solves the issue of getting client-ready campaign reporting done quickly, with the ability to automatically refresh, and copy from a template that ensures that each campaign's dashboard set-up is as quick and effortless as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Looker Studio?

I love how you can connect it to so many different tools. We have a couple tools that are getting really old now, and most of our other new software can't integrate with them, but thanks to Looker, we can get our data from them no problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Looker Studio?

It crashes often. You have to go in and re-map the charts everytime the data source changes up a bit. I thing the integrations could be improved to eliminate this a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Looker Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Looker has helped us connect our data from a dozen sources and be able to create charts and tables with it. Thanks to it, we don't have to look at separate bits of data from separate tools, but we can consolidate everything in one dashboard and monitor our metrics easile and more thoroughly. I think it has the potential to become a truly valuable asset for any business that has improtant data spread out over different platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud?

A killer product that most cloud platforms can't match is BigQuery. But overall the interfaces are easy to use, the cli tools are oustanding and new products and improvements launch incredibly often. The global reaching self owned fiber optic network is also truly a USP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

The prices has definitly gone up the last couple of years. Google Cloud use to be the cheaper Cloud, but has gotten more expensive every year. I guess it's inevitable but it's tough when youre already locked in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

I the backbone for our entire business. We use it for everything from testing to staging and production workloads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Looker Studio?

The ability to connect multiple data sources to a single report is a game-changer for our advertising agency. It streamlines the reporting process and allows us to create a comprehensive report rather than individual reports for each channel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Looker Studio?

Having limits on the number of charts you are able to use in the report is restrictive and definitely doesn't allow us to present all of the information we would want to within the report. There are workarounds, but it's not ideal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Looker Studio solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our agency has used many reporting software platforms in the past, and this is the most user-friendly for both our internal staff and the clients we send monthly reports to. The date selector allows for interaction between the reader and the report which is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
