Looker Studio Reviews & Product Details

Looker Studio is a useful tool for building shareable, real-time dashboards that pull data from multiple marketing channels. It’s flexible and visually customisable, and it makes it straightforward to present performance data to stakeholders in a clear, accessible format. I also find the ability to connect Google Ads, Analytics, and other data sources in one place especially helpful for reporting and keeping everything consolidated.

Looker Studio can feel limited when it comes to more advanced data modelling and complex calculations. Performance may slow down with larger datasets, and some connectors can be unreliable or end up requiring workarounds. Customisation beyond the basic visualisations also feels somewhat restrictive, especially compared with more advanced BI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Looker Studio is how easy it is to build dashboards that are directly connected to different datasources. I really like that I can plug spreadsheets, ads platforms, analytics tools, etc., and see everything in one single report. It’s quite fast to create simple visualisations and share them with other teams, even if they are not very data-savvy. For exemple, I can build a dashboard that shows acquisition KPIs by channel and it updates automatically without me reworking slides every week. The fact that everything is online makes collaboration really simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like less about Looker Studio is that performance can become slow when there are too many charts or when the data source is heavy. Sometimes the dashboard takes a long time to load or refresh, which is a bit annoying when you just need a quick check. Some features feel a bit limited compared to more advanced BI tools, especially for complex calculations or modeling. Also, the design options are not always super flexible, so getting a dashboard to look “perfect” can take too much time. And when connectors break, it’s not always clear why.

Looker Studio makes data visualization and reporting easy. It allows me to connect multiple data sources and create interactive dashboards without needing advanced technical skills.

I especially like the flexibility in customizing charts and reports, and the fact that dashboards update in real time makes it easy to share insights with stakeholders. It’s a great tool for turning raw data into clear, easy-to-understand visuals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Looker Studio is very useful, there are a few things I dislike. The interface can sometimes feel a bit slow, especially when working with large or complex data sources.

I’ve also noticed that some advanced customizations and calculations are limited, and troubleshooting data connection issues isn’t always straightforward. Better performance and more flexibility in advanced features would really improve the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

Google Cloud offers an exceptional combination of performance, scalability, and integration with the broader Google ecosystem. Its AI and machine learning tools, like Vertex AI, make it easy to build advanced solutions without heavy infrastructure management. The console is intuitive, and documentation is comprehensive, making onboarding smoother for both developers and teams. The pay-as-you-go model allows flexibility in costs, and services like BigQuery deliver outstanding speed for data analytics at scale. Security standards and compliance are also top-notch, which is essential for enterprise-level projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is powerful, pricing can become complex and slightly higher than competitors if resources aren’t optimized properly. Some advanced services have a steeper learning curve, requiring more time to configure efficiently. Support is generally good, but in certain cases, faster response times for technical tickets would be helpful. Additionally, regional availability for certain services could be expanded to improve latency and redundancy in more markets. 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.

It can be slow with large datasets, and some advanced customizations are limited. Also, fixing data or refresh issues is not always very clear. 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.
