The reports interface for both standard and self-service reports is intuitive, straightforward, and easy to use. By using formulas based on existing data elements, users can create new fields and calculate new values as needed. It also offers a variety of attractive graph and chart formats, lets you track metrics in real time with consistent and frequent updates, and enables you to receive email reports and notifications regarding metrics.

It can be a bit complex sometimes for beginners, and certain reports take time to load. For beginners, Looker could improve the onboarding experience with simpler tutorials, guided dashboard creations, and more beginner-friendly explanations for advanced features.

I use Looker to view dashboards and analyze data trends for reporting purposes. What I like most is its ability to present complex data in a clear and interactive way. The dashboards are easy to navigate, and the visualizations help quickly understand key metrics and business insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For new users, creating advanced reports and understanding data modeling concepts can take some time. Some customizations may also require technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I highlight most about Looker is its centralized data model with LookML, which allows defining metrics and business logic once so that everyone in the organization works with the same definitions, avoiding inconsistencies between reports. I also value that it queries data in real-time directly from the data warehouse (without the need to extract or duplicate data), and that the visualizations and dashboards are easy to share and embed in other applications. Additionally, by versioning the models with Git, it facilitates collaborative work and change control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like least about Looker is the learning curve of LookML: learning its syntax and data modeling logic takes time, especially for users without prior experience in modeling or SQL. I also notice that the customization of visualizations is more limited compared to other BI tools, and that performance can be affected in complex queries over large volumes of data if the model is not well optimized. Additionally, being a 100% cloud-based tool and dependent on the data warehouse, any slowness in the underlying database directly impacts the experience within Looker.

A lot of data. In Looker, we have so much data and reports. For our developers, adding more fields is quite easy, so we are very happy with this. UI is good, you can customize a lot of things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, when you have too much data, it takes ages to update the page. Onboarding new users isn't easy because there are too many fields (in our case), but I think it is a common issue with these tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes reports take a little longer to load, and some advanced features can be confusing for new users. Improving speed and making the interface simple would make the experience even better. Looker could improve by making dashboard loading faster and adding simple tutorials or a guided setup option for new users. A more beginner-friendly interface would help teams learn and use the platform more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some customizations you need to be pretty technical to make them work in Looker. Otherwise, you end up spending a lot of time troubleshooting and searching for answers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Looker easy to set up and navigate once reports are created. It’s really easy to change date ranges and filter reports for people viewing them, and the date-range updates are accurate. Setting it up is pretty simple with online instructions and tutorials. I also use it to create data visualizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of the aspects work for what I need, so I don't have any major flags or areas to improve right now. More customization options for color-coding data could be a good benefit for future product development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
