"Powerful once it's set up properly, that's once is doing a lot of work in that sentence"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Looker?

Dashboards are clean and the scheduled reports feature is something I set up for a few client and basically forget about. Every monday morning the right numbers land in the right inbox without anyone having to manually run anything. That kind of automation compounds over time, it sounds small but it removes a whole category of recurring tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Looker?

Performance on complex curious can be slowed pending on how the underlying data warehouse is setup. Looker itself isn't always the bottleneck but its hard to explain that two stakeholders steering at a spinning loading circle. pricing is also on the heavier site for a small operation its built for team with dedicated data infrastructure and the cost reflect that.

What problems is Looker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly eliminating the constant request queue that builds up when all reporting goes through one person. With looker the model is built once and stakeholders explore it themselves. Scheduled reports remove the manual work of pulling and sending numbers regularly. Embedded analytics turns data from an internal tool into something client facing. Those three things together justify the complexity and cost for us, but it took several months of setup to get there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
