It finds the data quite fast and makes it possible to adjust arrangements afterwards. It's also very handy in terms of just copying the table without downloading any file.

Like

Easy to use, can customize dashboards, can input large volumes of data

Like

The ease of adding multiple different charts on a single page.

Dislike

I am not so unsatisfied about it, but the user interface could be better, i guess.

Not great visuals, dashboards can be slow to load, not great training resources

Dislike

While adding multiple different charts is useful, it sometimes takes a really long time to load up everything.

    Looker greatly improves data insights of our company

    5.0
    Mar 11, 2024
    We have been using Looker for over a year now and have seen great improvement in delivering data to our stakeholders. Setting up views and explores requires some learning but once you get the hang of it it rolls of the keyboard and greatly reduces the time needed for analysts to gather data for their stakeholders. Creating dashboarding and exploring data has never been easier for us. Stakeholders can do their own things in an environment that has been curated by our data specialists and we are sure is correct. The made content can also easily be shared among our company with the use of the hyperlinks.
