Google Data Studio Reviews & Product Details

Irrespective of the data type, Data Studio has the tools that can help you to create compelling data stories with intuitive visualization that are interactive and purpose driven.

Data connectors within data studio helps easy access to multitude of data sources. Data blending can be done with ease to turn the data into meaningful information, data studio defines the true meaning of data democratization by sharing and collaborating with the internal and external team members.

Data studio is a perfect mix for rookies and veterans a like to get the most out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I haven't come across anything that I dislike about data studio as it is such a fun data analytics solution. However, one thing that google might want to look at its rigidness when it comes to displaying ones art on the community website and gallery too much of scrutiny may steer away creative souls from showing their creativity at the community level.

It's a free tool, it connects directly with other Google products, it can connect with other non-Google products, its easily sharable, and can make data very digestible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You really need to use (and pay for) third part connectors to get the full use out of it. The Google connectors it has still doesn't show everything that the platforms show, in some cases, I have had to use the third party tools to connect to Google products to show the one thing I wanted to show on the report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Google Data Studio reports are so customizable. Whether you're updating the theme colors, page sizing, chart settings, etc. - there are endless ways to create a report. At our digital marketing agency, we've been able to take our reports to the next-level with the help of data studio. I like that this works seamlessly with so many native and third-party data connectors. The fact that you can retroactively update data and share with clients is incredible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you have many data sources (and blended data sources) connected to the report it can really slow down both the editing and loading aspects. My company has a few very robust reports and they are just a hastle to update because it loads so slowly - especially if you have multiple people editing the report simultaneously.

Google Data Studio makes data pivots, combinations and views so fast and easy. You can customize your own data report from its styling (colors, dimensions, sections) to its contents. By connecting your own existing Google Analytics data sources, you can quickly filter and view data in a myriad of ways, including creating your own custom filters. I've been able to uncover so much powerful data because so much less time is spent trying to access the data itself vs. Google Analytics. With Data Studio, it's more about the visual, so you can easily view and display data from a plethora of directions. Reports can be duplicated/cloned, and they can be shared for real-time collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downsides I've found are twofold: 1) Very rarely, there will be a data point that it can't find even though you've previously been able to view it with a different report - and it's pulling the data from the same source/table. It's rare, but does happen. 2) If your report includes a good number of charts, tables, and/or graphs, the system can become bogged down and it can take a little while before it resolves and displays your results.

Google Data Studio is really user friendly. The Dashboards are designed very well and easy to navigate. It allows you to analyze data quickly and create data visualizations with ease. I also like how it connects with all your other Google tools such as google drive and google analytics, which is very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit too simple sometimes. Google Data Studio offers limited functionality as compared to other tools such as tableau etc. I only use it for small data projects, as it does not allow me to work with very complex data projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

How it automatically brings in data from other google softwares such as google analytics and google search console and combines these all together in one place. It's also great how it constantly updates this data without any manual work from us. We can also bring in our own data using google sheets which is brilliant for keeping all of the information in one report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently there isn't much i dislike, it does take a small amount of time to get used to how it work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Data studio is easy to use and set up and integrates easily with Big Query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is slow and there are limits on the filtering Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease in connecting and use the built in Google connectors makes Data Studio a breeze to use for anyone familiar with things like Google Analytics or even Google Sheets. The Robust 3rd party connectors take it even further, I use a number of them for connecting Social media stats. Automated reporting is way better than copy and paste reporting. I use and subscribe to the Supermetrics suite of connectors, it is invaluable for bringing in Facebook and Instagram data to give my workplace a more holistic view of our digital landscape. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The primary functions are great, but not always super stable. I have done some fairly heavy data crunching creating visualizations from some massive google sheets and Data Studio can slow to a crawl. Could be that 16gb of RAM isn't enough, could be I am asking it to do far more than I should. Either way, it can get frustrating when trying to update an important dashboard and it freaks out and locks up my computer for 5-10 minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best feature that I like in Google Data Studio is connecting to all different data sources (e.g. google sheets, google cloud query, GA products, 360 advertising platforms). It makes much easier to use existing data sources to create dashboards. I also like features such as data refreshes automatically and many graphs and tables to select to build dashboards. It also provides some existing templates and does not need users to create from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selecting different metrics and dimensions requires some Excel knowledge in order to combine data correctly to create graphs and tables. Sometimes reports with significant amount of rows and columns can not connect to Data Studios correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a free data visualization tool that integrates with other Google software. The UI is very user-friendly and intuitive and there are many tools and custom integrations for 3rd party software including Salesforce and Hubspot. It's very flexible because you can pretty much graph and work with any data by importing it into Google Sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some bugs when working with custom filters or large datasets. I've had issues where the numbers in scorecards and graphs didn't match and re-adding the data source wouldn't fix it. I've also gotten different numbers using the Google Analytics integration versus the analytics homepage. There were a few times where a mixed data source would display no data even though it should have existed. I still like the software but I've had to double-check almost all of my data when I use the dashboard.

It also doesn't make much sense that the graphs in Datastudio are more limited than in Google Sheets. In spreadsheets, the software will interpret and graph the data correctly but if I try to replicate the result in datastudio, the graphs will sometimes break or display no data.

On occasion, the dashboard has trouble loading data at all but this is more of a minor annoyance since it usually fixes itself once I refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Data Studio is used as a tool for developing dashboards and ad hoc reports. It is used by various members of the team as a way to showcase data insights and automate reports which were previously being distributed in the form of Excel sheets or Powerpoints.

Currently It is being used by our department only. The business problem it solves is the need for automated reporting dashboards and being able to create flexible reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy to find some but i have to admit that the live text integration is not the best and it for sure can be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the amount of information and customization that you get with Google data studios. I also like how you can integrate other Google products like Google Analytics and Adwords so you can have even more info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't a lot I don't like about this product. It's simple and easy to use. It did have a few bug at the beginning and I haven't found a great way to organize all the report into folders yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So easy to use with any Google data source, and the visualization/card options are good (especially for a free tool). There are many settings and reporting options and they work really well (if you know how to use them). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability to bring in other data sources free. Paid connectors have the be used to pull in non-google data sources. Also, using multiple data sources, even Google ones, on one report seems to be tricky and have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google Data Studio - being a Google product - is designed intuitively and has many integrations with other Google products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization level is good, but nowhere near Tableau or Power BI (which is to be expected since it is free!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think I love data integration the most. This feature allows me to integrate a large amount of data effortlessly. The UI is also great, and it is quite easy to use even for noobs like me. I also love the customizable reporting feature, and this feature helps me to analyze my data in the way that I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Google Data Studio, but I think it would be better if Google fixed some bugs. It is not a big deal since the bugs only occur for a while, but sometimes it could be frustrating if the user isn't in a good mood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool provides the ability to consolidate large amounts of data and to put several reports in the same place. It helps you gather all the information without having to move from one report to another with great ease of use. The other good thing is that you can integrate it with google sheets, salesforce reports and many other tools that can help you organize your data and have visibility shared for your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has long wait times when the report has too much data which is expected, but coming from a company that has servers like google does, it kind of disappoints you. The other big problem is that links with third party apps tend to easily break down and they require you to constantly check those to keep them working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing variety of charts and possibilities.

Options to publish or embed reports is a real-life saver in making custom dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like it more if there would be a way to create and share reports via API

The charts can have better labeling options. No way to automate the process for multiple users.

The connector review process is also slightly long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google data studio is a great way to organize everything you need in one view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initially a little confusing but you get the hang of things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am very excited to using Google Data Studio because i can create a good dashboard from whatever data source i have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't create report from Social Media in Free Plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works with Google, which is a suite of products we already use at my company. It is basic and easy to learn for people starting out with analytics and data modeling needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are not enough functions and options for the data charting and modeling we need to use now in the healthcare industry. It has been phased out because of it's simplicity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google data studio is the best tool and it can be easily connected to a variety of live data resources and it is simple to build, simple to learn and I can easily share my data with this. It enables us to view our all data sources from one location and it provides common connections like Google ads, Google analytics, etc. The dashboard can be updated in real-time even if it is being accessed by someone and everyone can see the changes by refreshing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Google data studio has no report delivery option and in this platform, our reports cannot be exported as PDF or in any other file. There are so many issues with data connections and there is no option provided for automatic refresh. The text cannot be easily moved around and I cannot add headers or page numbers easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

O que eu gosto no Google Data Studio é sem dúvida o quão fácil é colocar pontos de dados em diferentes gráficos e visualizações. A interface do usuário é visualmente agradável, típica dos produtos do Google. Super intuitivo e fácil de usar, e a maioria dos aspectos do produto se comporta exatamente como o usuário esperaria, o que o diferencia da multidão. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

O que eu não gosto neste produto de computador é principalmente o fato de o texto da legenda estar frequentemente oculto e não ser fácil redimensionar e mover, e não encontrei nenhuma opção para inserir automaticamente cabeçalhos ou números de página. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
