Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • My favorite aspect of Looker is its customizable in dashboard design compared to the similar products.
  • Looker offers an intuitive interface that facilitates the creation of customized reports. The ability to integrate with multiple data sources is impressive, enabling deeper and more comprehensive analysis. In addition, the real-time data exploration feature is crucial for making informed decisions quickly, which is vital in our dynamic work environment.
  • Looker is great for data analytics needs and can transform complex data into insights. Modern interface makes it incredibly easy to build and customize reports.
  • Its ability to visualize data in a clear and understandable way makes it easy to identify unusual patterns or potential threats through interactive and customizable dashboards. Looker's ability to create detailed and automated reports is another great advantage. This not only saves time, but also ensures that reports are always up-to-date, which is crucial for informed decision making and regulatory compliance.
  • Looker has the ability to integrate with multiple data sources, making it easy to create custom reports and dashboards. I value the collaboration features, such as the ability to easily share reports and dashboards with colleagues. This improves team communication and helps make informed data-driven decisions. In addition, the ability to customize visualizations to the client's needs adds significant value to our service.

Cons

  • It's a bit costlier than other options available.
  • While Looker is powerful, the initial setup can be complex and requires a significant investment of time and resources.
  • UI can be complex for new users and Third party integration should be added.
  • One concern is the initial setup complexity. Integrating and organizing data from various sources can be challenging, requiring significant time and resources up front.
  • The lack of some export features may frustrate users who need to work with data in other formats.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • A very rewarding free tier meeting 80% of the functionality that we needed. Easy to integrate into existing infrastructure. Lightweight and flexible enough to meet our needs.
  • Peekdata is a Data API that's built already. We didn't need to start from scratch to support multiple integration points with 3d parties. Otherwise, we’d be building an HTTP layer and abstraction over SQL to maintain many different types of requests. It saved a lot of time and brought convenience to developers.

Cons

  • We were early adopters before the UI configurator was introduced. As a result the learning curve is a bit steep when preparing first data models.
  • The UI to configure the data model could be better, but it wasn't a big deal keeping in mind that the team was very responsive.
