With all the online help we managed to get a new coder working on it quickly > > **Cons**: The guys got stuck when loading lots of data. So its a bit slow. Support in cases like this is difficult to get > > The price is ok..as our data was big query it made it work much better.i like the drag and drop which makes it easy ----- ### "Project lead and data analysts Looker Studio experience" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *26 January 2026* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Overall Looker is a good platform to build and develop useful data visuals and developed dashboards. The main benefit is the plethora of compatible sources of data. Utilising a mix of G suite and Microsoft looker can pull data from both googles platforms and microsoft as well as CSV files. Understandably looker is optimised for the G suite. This is a great benefit. I heavily rely on Bigquery. Within 3 clicks I can connect a big query script to a looker dashboard and begin working on creating clear and coherent visuals on the back of the data. Looker does give several customisable options for visuals. Utilising various charts like box and whisper and line charts as well as being able to overlay several data sources to have a simple clear visual on how different data sources compare. This is a great tool to easily visualise things for non technical and techincal stakeholders alike. On the whole I have not experienced and significant issues or bugs within in looker studio which inistelf is a great postive. > > **Cons**: One of the key visuals that would be useful in looker is a data heat map. There are ways of doing this in looker however it requires several workarounds that are not the most accurate and don't deliver the requirements I require. This data visual is available in Tableau and is a key benefit over looker for me as I look at geographical trends which are easily illustratable to non techincal stakeholders. Another con however is a standard across modern cloud platforms is the reliablity on a third party provider. When there are outages on google this renders looker useless until this is fixed. This results in delays to daily work which is out of your control as an end user. > > Overall, my experience with looker has been positive. It provides a great selection of basic data visual tools and data integration options across several platforms. Looker does fall down a little bit when it comes to more advanced data handling and lacks some more complex data visualisation tools which competitors like Tableau provide. Use looker if you want a quick easy to pick up tool to create data visuals at a good standard. You may want to look at other options for more advanced options especially if you are communciating this data to senior stakeholders in a large company ----- ### "Looker - business intelligence at its best" — 5.0/5 > **Adrian** | *19 November 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most I like that I can connect different data sources witch will import automatically and create a complex dashboard for a better overview.
