Data Models, Security, and Amazing Customer Support

Beoordeeld op 14-6-2019

Looker is quickly becoming our go-to for reporting and dashboarding for anything requiring more than one data source (and some that are based on just one). Paired with a kick-ass centralized data warehouse (we use Snowflake), Looker lets us roll things out very quickly (provided our data infrastructure is in good shape). It did take a while to get going with Looker because it lays on top of the existing data infrastructure. Now that we have quite a bit of strong infrastructure in place in our centralized data warehouse, we are able to produce data products in Looker quite quickly.

Pluspunten

Provisioning security allows us to control the user experience (and only show users things they would actually care about). This makes a dashboard or data product rollout far smoother. Additionally, the customer support (especially through the chat interface) is absolutely fantastic. Because Looker creates a custom URL for each explore you're working on, you can share with Customer Support your exact problem and work together to find a solution.

Minpunten

Looker Sales told us beforehand that it "writes the most performant SQL possible." I have not found this to be the case, as it often casts and does a few other things (I suspect to make it runnable no matter how you've set up your data). There are some limitations on the visualizations, etc., but Looker Customer Service has been super responsive when those come up.

An excellent tool for us to do analyzes and find appropriate solutions.

Beoordeeld op 19-1-2023

Looker helps automate most periodic reports, reduce the report compilation time, and increase team effectiveness. Since it works on all phones and tablets, we can always use it for various analysis methods and functions, as it helps us continually find the best solutions.

Pluspunten

Looker allows companies to create all business intelligence initiatives using comprehensive data sorting and analysis features, from ideation to visualization. The platform is professional, easy to use, and integrates with many other programs, making data entry and export a breeze. Looker enables non-technical managers to use reports and dashboards to explore, discover, and view data dynamically. It also stores all data in the cloud, allowing the members to work together at any time and get the best results.

Minpunten

Looker is a great program that efficiently produces the best analytics, and with proper training, all members will complete tasks as required.

Looker Review

Beoordeeld op 6-12-2022

Displeased and frustrated.

Pluspunten

The option to pull a lot of data in an organized fashion.

Minpunten

This software RARELY works, it's completely glitchy. I use it, well, I attempt to use it, daily. But I continuously receive the No Date to Report message. It completely hinders my job as I need the data from the reporting. Seriously, it is glitchy every single day.

Looker helped us create dashboards & reports with good visualizations and charts for our client

Beoordeeld op 10-3-2023

Pluspunten

Looker's user-friendly interface made it easy for us explore and use. It has good drag-and-drop features , which made it easy for us to create dashboards and reports. Looker's data modeling capabilities enabled us to create and manage data models that can be used across multiple data sources. This provided us a unified view of data and made it easy for us to analyze and explore. It has the ability to add custom visualizations and integrations. we also were able to share reports and dashboards with business users , making it easy to collaborate on data analysis and insights.

Minpunten

Looker's data source support is limited. We require significant training to fully utilize its features and functionalities. Its customization capabilities are limited compared to other BI platforms.

I work as the lead BI developer and Administrator of Looker at my company.

Beoordeeld op 5-10-2017

Pluspunten

For your developers, the customer service is superior. They also do a great job reaching out to your primary users. With respect to frontend users, those using it for simpler data retrieval/review, their interface is rather easy to use and logical to work through. They do a lot to make the system as simple as possible. Only your BI developers and/or data engineering team can clutter the space.

Minpunten

If you decide to purchase the non-customized version, the color palette Looker uses is rather bland (More noticeable to executives and heavy users-most users will be fine with it though). The company's integrations are rather limited, but supposed to improve with Looker 5 (via the Action Hub). However, it seems that most integrations will require purchasing from third parties, instead of being a Looker hosted and "controlled" solution you purchase through them. That complicates the process.

5 Star Product

Beoordeeld op 26-12-2022

Looker is a daily driver for me. We are helping to monitor how loyalty programs are performing for our clients and Looker really allows us to dig into any questions the client might have for us, as well as any questions we might come up with on our own. Very customizable in the metrics that can be created in here and easy to deploy. Would recommend.

Pluspunten

I like creating dashboards for clients. Looker has many different visualization options to choose from and these dashboards can be sent out on a regular recurring basis for our clients.

Minpunten

I wish there was a way to take the data visualization and embed that into a Powerpoint presentation. Sure, we can do this with taking a screenshot, and then pasting into Powerpoint, but I'd love to be able to manipulate the size, font, etc to fit with what I'm trying to show in Powerpoint.

Looker can handle it all

Beoordeeld op 29-11-2022

Overall Looker has been a powerful tool for our company to draw data insights from.

Pluspunten

Looker is a great tool for KPIs and data visualization. It's powerful enough to handle many large queries and return simplified dashboards for end users.

Minpunten

There is certainly a learning curve to using Looker and some of the shortcoming in "and/or" filtering make the need to leverage custom filters even higher.

Build all your Dashboards with Looker

Beoordeeld op 18-12-2022

Great tool for building reports from scratch and creating dashboards to visualize data.

Pluspunten

We have used Google Data studio in the past and now using Looker for creating dashboards and building reports. This has been very useful tool for us to compare data and infer insights out of it. The best part of this tool is the data gets refreshed automatically and the reports can be checked realtime.

Minpunten

No issues using Looker. It works great and loads data pretty quickly.

Powerful for the Data Scientist, Friendly for the Business User

Beoordeeld op 5-8-2015

Pluspunten

When I first saw Looker (during a long BI evaluation process where we demo'd perhaps 5-10 tools) I knew it was what I had been hoping for in a BI vendor. The ease of dragging dimensions and metrics onto a canvas, the fluid way that you could generate reports, and the simplicity of drilling down into the source data all suggested this was a tool that had been built well from the ground up.

Other vendors seemed to trap you into a narrow view of your metrics, but with Looker the only restrictions were the ones built into your data model. It could easily flex to accommodate whatever data you wanted to look at.

The LookML language and the way Looker is designed to interact with your data is pretty brilliant. Even a non-data scientist and non-SQL user like me could get the hang of the basics ;)

The range of options, the configurability, the flexibility...all aces. Really you only get stuck by your imagination, the tool is powerful enough that you can solve most problems if you have the know-how.

The team is also great. Awesome culture, friendly support.

They have a continual flow of new features and improvements.

Minpunten

You do need a good BI person or ETL developer to really get the most out of this tool.

Setting up your data model really well and going to the outer limits to solve some particularly difficult queries are all things I would have had a hard time doing without technical resources on the team.

Of course it's possible Looker helps with a lot of this during implementation; we pretty much controlled our own because we had the folks in house to do it.

A game changing data tool

Beoordeeld op 11-6-2019

Looker is a game changing tool insofar as it provides a 21st century approach to data tooling that massively amplifies how organisations can get access to, explore and power applications through data without making sacrifices from an accuracy perspective. Looker's company culture is fantastic and the focus on customer support really helps to extent the impact of the product itself.

Pluspunten

* LookML because it enables a scalable semantic layer wherein business rules can be defined in a single place and logic is code based thereby enabling version control, testing and auditing.
* Extendability because the data platform focus enables businesses to serve data to applications and people through a single component
* Customer experience focus

Minpunten

* It can be hard to navigate the huge volumes of content that users build on Looker and find the canonical/VIP products that are the foundation for any company

Looker transforms companies

Beoordeeld op 4-8-2015

Pluspunten

It's a great product for giving people in all departments of your company access to data and allow them to explore what your data can provide. Rather than having to always go to the Business Intelligence or Analytics team, people of any level can query data without any SQL knowledge or understanding and yield results that are either directly actionable or ask more questions that can be answered using Looker. We ran an initial 30 days trial with a view that only our analysts and BI team members would use it. By the end of the 30 days, everyone from the COO down to the account teams were using it. It's amazing.

Furthermore, the vendor is smart, responsive and constantly improving the product, delivering a new version approximately every month. Their customer service is second-to-none and they are always happy to hear about new features that you need in the product. Very pleased overall with their service, strategy and plan to expand our use of them to our clients over the next few months.

Minpunten

Looker are still very heavily US based. They have just started an EU office, but support is still largely limited to US West Coast hours (although they seem to wake up at stupid o'clock to deal with some of our issues and plan to have support in the EU soon).

Best in class and exactly as advertised

Beoordeeld op 12-6-2019

We've had a great experience with Looker, both the product itself and the company supporting it, and I'm very happy with our decision. It's easy to use for both admins and end users, and when we do have an issue there's usually been a

Pluspunten

Looker is extremely intuitive and accessible for end users. This has made training and driving adoption across the company a breeze. It has really opened up our data to a huge number of non-technical users. Their customer support is also excellent.

Minpunten

As part of our evaluation we trialed several other providers that I think would have provided about 80% of the value at a dramatically lower cost. For our organization it made sense to go with the best in class, but for a more cost-constrained organization there might be better options out there.

A great tool for exploring data

Beoordeeld op 21-9-2019

I user Looker every day​ to create dashboards that I share within the company. At the same time I use Looker to analyze​ data on ad hoc requests

Pluspunten

It's really easy to create dashboards and reports. Even though we need to code some things it allows to be really flexible in the way you create and display data.

Minpunten

I had to learn more technical information, the code, and how to work with development and live versions of the models.

Easy, Flexible, Effective Data Analysis

Beoordeeld op 20-4-2019

Looker is an excellent tool. I highly recommend it! While it requires some setup at the start, it ultimately saves time by empowering non-technically skilled coworkers to analyze data on their own!

Pluspunten

Looker allows data to be accessible by team members who do not have technical skills like SQL or Python. It's user interface is easy to use; quickly and easily one can have impressive visualizations encompassing complex data sets. Looker is a powerful tool, useful for adding data visualizations to reports, making data-driven business decisions, and any other task requiring you to analyze data. Looker has also put out a great series of instructional videos which are helpful in learning how to use the program optimally.

Minpunten

The initial setup and development of Looker requires time, attention, and work. The software is a great user interface to access data, but configuring the program to access your data requires a lot of programming, troubleshooting, and general work from the data science team. The utility of the program is definitely worth the work, but you should not expect to begin using the program as soon as you get it--it requires some setup.

Easy to use Data Reporting tool

Beoordeeld op 31-5-2019

We use Looker for all kind of data analysis and reporting needs. We use its dashboard tools to keep track of everything without any difficulties.

Pluspunten

Looker offers data reporting tools and options, and it doesn't require deep SQL knowledge. It has a clean and well-organized user interface and helps you create reports and dashboard with only a click of a button. It is very easy to use and you don't have to have any experience with data extrapolation or reporting.

Minpunten

The pricing is somewhat high, but if you are a larger company it might be worth the money.

Reports, beautiful Dashboards, tracking of company metrics, solving data related issues.

Looker makes BI & analytics easy

Beoordeeld op 14-3-2017

Looker allows you to get up and running quickly with it's prototyping capability and LookML functionality. It makes it easy for our enterprise data team to get data in front of the customer quickly while then going behind the scenes and adding it to our data warehouse. It's ease of use and value for the money allows it to meet our needs as our corporate BI/analytics tool!

Pluspunten

Ease of use, monetary value and ability to prototype and show data quickly. Their CS team (our account exec and technical support rep are amazing) and support are the best vendors I've ever worked with.

Minpunten

Performance issues, it's a new product so some standard features it's missing - around mapping separate projects together, some access/security features, and lack of self-service model layer.

Pretty easy to use but missing features and quite buggy

Beoordeeld op 26-8-2018

Pluspunten

- It's pretty easy to work with once you have a working sample
- Creating a chart is simple and creating a dashboard is very intuitive - you can just explore and save a few looks to your dashboard in a single run.
- Warns about errors right on the spot when editing a view

Minpunten

It's just not very mature yet. I don't see why I should hit the "clear cache & refresh" multiple times before it actually gives me a result from now and not from 4 days ago.

Also, it's missing some features like a custom sort of the results order. It's important when you're putting things on a dashboard.

It's also letting you validate and commit and only when running it returns SQL errors if there are any. I think it should look for syntax errors at an earlier stage.

customizing the column names is done the wrong way - you can't edit the current name, you need to retype it (why? such a silly feature)

Lastly, customizing the colors is really not intuitive. I figured it out but I'd do it differently.

Good for reporting the team stats

Beoordeeld op 24-3-2020

Overall my experience with Looker is very good, just a few things could be tweaked for it be perfect. E.g easier to follow filtering and layout.

Pluspunten

We use Looker to gather data for team productivity and statistics. Easy to view and the dash boards show all the information we need for our partner venues too at a glance.

Minpunten

When filtering data on looker it can be quite long winded and the layout I feel good be improved to make it clearer.

Beoordeeld op 9-3-2022

Pluspunten

I am able to pull in different data from multiple platforms to get a better scope and understanding of the work done and work yet to do. The team has more visibility to everything.

Minpunten

Sometimes it takes a while to load pages. Each cell loads individually, but it can still take a bit to see the data.
