What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
Looker uses an internal language "LookML" which it uses for data transformations that must be required to be done before presenting the data on a dashboard. This gives additional control over the data being used while creating dashboards
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Looker has a marketplace from where we can download additional charts which are not present in the standard implementation. This marketplace is continuously updated and new charts are added almost every week
What do you dislike most about this product?
While Looker is an amazing analytical tool, it is also quite difficult for someone who does not have knowledge of Data Modelling and SQL. Hence, it takes sometime to understand the LookML language and start the implementation
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Looker is no doubt one of the best analytical and one should definitely try it out as the number of features are increasing day by day

What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
I use Looker to form data visualizations, the options for making and editing charts types, sort searches based on personal preference using the queries to induce the particular result at all times and gather intuitive insights from obtainable uploaded data. The dashboard is extremely customizable and intuitive, keeping me up thus far with my current platform use. The maps section simplifies the method of tracking our product’ location. It’s a good possibility when you don’t need abundant coding or expertise with Bi tools.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really like the integration of SQL. There are a lot of Bi Tools that I actually have used that get away from SQL. I feel for most analysts SQL is their bread and butter, if it isn’t it ought to be because that’s where all the info is stored, thus integrating SQL right into the Bi tool instead of burying it’s huge.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Like all different tool, Looker has some “features”, not bugs that are annoying however as long as your project is structured properly with all the “safeguards” outlined above, you may know how to mitigate those. Support is incredibly considerate in prioritizing the fixes supported business $ impact. Thanks for that.
