The drag-and-drop editor actually works pretty well. (I was a bit of a skeptic.) It was easy to pull in multiple data sources (e.g., Google Analytics and Google Search Console) that can't be visualized efficiently within the Google Analytics UI or Google Data Studio. (For the latter, you can absolutely pull in those data sources, but it would take longer to build a report.)
There are a fair number of snap-to-grid features that avoid some of the tedium of reporting building. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can take a while to update the data, so as you're tweaking a metric or reports, you often spend time waiting for things to load. I don't know if there's much that can be done about that, but, overall it makes the interface feel a bit clunky.
I find the division between dashboards, reports, and templates to be a bit unintuitive. Your first time in the NinjaCat interface, you should expect to spend some time getting your bearings. Even after that, it sometimes takes a few clicks to get where you want to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
