Great tool for reporting & visualising performance
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
It is very easy to use, in particular for teams and individuals that do not have a background in SQL, coding or analytics. It is very easy to create custom reports, connect multiple data sources and display the data in aesthetically pleasing ways.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Being able to look at a Look, report or piece of data and understand exactly how this view has been created, using specific dimensions, measures and filters. It makes it super easy to learn and understand how everything is structured.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Some limitation to design and customisation of reports. If you create tables of data through merging queries and or custom fields you cannot always display everything in the order you may want. Also the column headers are always displayed on one line so if the name is long it can be cut off.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Looker is easy to use and roll out to wider stakeholders to help self serve data for your business. You are able to link dashboards to one another and set up automated reports that can be sent to email groups, slack channels and other destinations. A great way to understand how your business is performing and be able to drill down into data points of interest.

What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
According to me, the most effective factor I experienced with Looker is their technical support team which is incredibly much helpful. They supply the resolution for the problems at intervals in the given frame of time. Apart from that, the program is very user-friendly, straightforward to understand, and to work with even by any beginner. Here, we can simply set up the dashboard and graphs with smart customization options and fantastic templates as compared to alternative different software.

What do you dislike most about this product?
Generally it responds slowly whenever we attempt to operate it in low-end devices and work on over 2 or 3 aspects at constant time. It desires some improvising and smart updates to form its integration with active directories. Some tools need to be updated and improved for generating far better charts and reports with their data processing feature. Also, it needs additional information source connections to keep it more active.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Overall, it’s an incredible tool for data visualization and making dashboards. Primarily we are happy with the performance and swish experience using this platform. It helps in analyzing and resourcing the info and reports. It’s recommended.
