## Reviews

### "Solid dashboard tool" — 4.0/5

> **Parsa** | *August 7, 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was very easy implementation and linking the data to GCP. It was used as the dashboard tool both for internal(marketing and business) and external(clients) teams. UI was user friendly and easy to set up.
> 
> **Cons**: There were a few bugs and issues with the dashboard. Some was that there were discrepancies between the main database and GCP, which resulted in missing data in the final dashboard.
> 
> It is very easy to configure and implement dashboards on looker. For any company where GCP is their main source of ground truth, it is best choice but if you have equal possibility of using alternatives, there might be better options in the market as well.

### "Great for Data Modeling, but with a Learning Curve" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *March 2, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: You can create your own reporting dashbaords, that's one of the reliable functionality I really look up on from this software. For some one who doesn't have SQL knowledge its a lot easier to make number talk the visualization part.
> 
> **Cons**: It isn't easier for some one new to get used to looker because of its steep learning curve. Compared to Tablue, looker feels a bit limited at times

### "Easy tool to use" — 5.0/5

> **Willem** | *February 10, 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It seemed very easy for the team to use it. 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

### "Looker - next gen reporting" — 5.0/5

> **Robert** | *September 29, 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The most important feature for me is that I can have always up to date reports, connecting different data sources like different apps and sheets and updating the reports in real time saves me a lot of time and hard work. Creating a dashboard with different data is easy and straightforward and worth every second spend to learn how to create your it.
> 
> **Cons**: For a fist timer it was a little hard to get all data connected and create the charts and graphs as I imagined.
> 
> Looker is the perfect app for creating reports and a business dashboard. It is shareable and collaborating with different departments via sheets allows me to gather all the data I need fast and on time. It gives a good and complex overview over different parts of the business and department I work.&#10;The reports are easy to share or export to other as PDF or online report.

### "My go-to for client reports" — 3.0/5

> **Alexandra** | *July 16, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The reports are very customable, you can design a report almost as if you were working in power point. Like a drag-and-drop of different type of charts, and everything is connected to the sources you integrate.
> 
> **Cons**: It takes time to understand the tool, the resources integration can be confusing when you start using it. Also many useful charts are not available unless you install extensions. Would be also good if you could connect more resources than just Google ones, for example Facebook or linked in, without having to pay a third party for this solution.
> 
> Once you understand the system, it gets easy to use and it’s very flexible. At the moment I am delivering 200 monthly reports with this source, works great and is reliable.
