What differentiates Looker from other similar products?

Our organization's management and strategy team needs to review the daily data on clicks, impressions, and buyer engagement to keep track of the GMV impact. We use Looker Studio to obtain this information on a daily basis.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The interface is user-friendly and flexible, allowing us to choose from a wide range of fonts and colors. Additionally, there are several options for presenting data visually, and it is easy to update information from various sources.

What do you dislike most about this product?

One of the drawbacks of Looker Studio is its limited capability to handle large datasets efficiently. When working with extensive data, the platform tends to slow down, which negatively affects productivity during crucial hours. As a performance marketer, I frequently need to work with substantial amounts of data, and this performance limitation significantly impacts my workflow.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are dealing with large datasets, Looker can be a great tool to handle it. However, it is worth noting that if you have complex data models or require advanced analytics, you may want to test Looker's capabilities with your specific data. By doing so, you can ensure that it can deliver the expected results and meet your business needs. It is always a good practice to test any tool's capabilities before implementing it into your workflow to optimize your data analysis process.
