Looker Studio Reviews & Product Details

Having a single dashboard with data from all the platforms you use in your company makes report generation an automatic task. The portfolio of available platforms to connect data is very robust.

The learning curve is really short; it is a tool that, once you learn the basics, becomes very intuitive to create dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data processing becomes limited, a programming language that falls short for performing slightly more advanced data analysis. Making connections or joins between data sources also makes the processing of those same connections impossible.

On the other hand, at the design level, the dashboards are basic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used Looker studio mainly for building dashboards on top of data pipeline. The strongest part of tool is how easy it integrates with Google BigQuery and Google Sheets. once the data model are ready i can quickly connect them to Looker studio and build visualization without much setup. its a reliable tool for teams already working in the Google ecosystem.

it has limits. for very large datasets or complex joins, performance can be slow and customization options for visuals are not as advanced as what i find in Power BI or Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Looker Studio makes it incredibly easy to build interactive, shareable dashboards and reports all without coding. The wide range of native connectors (Google Analytics, Google Ads, BigQuery, Sheets, etc.) and partner connectors makes it possible to combine data from multiple sources in one place.

The interface is fairly intuitive: drag and drop charts, easy filtering, and custom styling to match your brand. Plus, being cloud-based means reports are always live and easy to share with teams or clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance can slow down with large or complex datasets, especially when using multiple blended data sources. Some advanced visualization options and calculated metrics could be more user-friendly. Also, permissions management can get tricky on large teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy how easy it is to pull data from Google tools like Analytics and Sheets into Looker Studio. The drag-and-drop feature lets me whip up dashboards quickly without needing to dive too deep into tech stuff, which saves me a ton of time. Plus, sharing reports with my team feels seamless, and the visuals look clean enough to impress clients without much effort on my part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it a bit frustrating that Looker Studio can slow down when dealing with large datasets, which sometimes makes it hard to work efficiently. The customization options also feel limited—things like advanced formatting or adding custom fonts are tricky, and the design flexibility isn’t as robust as I’d like. Plus, blending data from more than five sources gets clunky, which can be a hassle when I need a full picture from multiple sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily visualize traffic data from Google Search Console and Google Analytics, for free. Since Universal Analytics has been retired in favor of GA4, using Google Analytics have been a lot harder but thanks to Looker Studio, everything is just plug and play. With this tool, I have been able to create multiple reports than I've ever imagined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
