What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
Looker stands out because it allows teams to define and manage their data in a consistent way across different reports and dashboards, ensuring everyone uses the same metrics
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favorite aspect of Looker is how easy it is to create and customize dashboards. The user-friendly interface allows you to quickly build and adjust dashboards to meet specific needs, making it simple to visualize data in a way that’s both clear and insightful.
What do you dislike most about this product?
What I dislike most about Looker is that it can be a bit complex for new users, especially when it comes to setting up the data models. While the flexibility is great, the learning curve might be steep for those who aren’t familiar with data modeling or SQL. Additionally, the lack of real-time data streaming limits its usefulness in fast-paced environments where up-to-the-minute insights are needed.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend Looker to anyone looking for a powerful, flexible tool for data analysis, especially if you’re already using Google Cloud services. However, be prepared for a learning curve, particularly if you're new to data modeling or SQL. Additionally, if real-time data streaming is a priority, you may want to consider how well Looker meets your needs in that area before making a decision.
