Overall Satisfaction with Looker

Looker is a powerful self-service business intelligence tool that is focused on solving particular problems. The first time I noticed about Looker, was when this startup was been nominated for best data analytics startup. The reason why we love the service is it has been familiar to work with navigating through a web browser and it operates on any device at any time. Looker's analytics tool brings data and business teams together to develop the business to the next level.

Pros

  • Teamwork.
  • Git for version management and collaboration.
  • Powerful SQL modeling ability.

Cons

  • Should lower the price.
  • A bit hard to use the service if you are a newbie.
  • Should give more demonstrations.
I think working on Looker could be hard, but in performance, it can easily overtake Wave and Zoho Reports. The flexibility of the system and it being super fast makes Looker a standalone from other similar software.
Th reason why I did not rate it 9 points is because of the price but I rated it 8 because if its use. Users can discover details behind the picture because all dashboards and queries can be drilled into. Looker offers a free trial but if a small business team decided to buy the software, sometimes they can't afford that.
