Author infoRatingReview Summary
Sr Analytics Consultant at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees3.5We use Looker for operational reporting due to its customizations, but it lacks some basic features like scrolling for large datasets. Despite its limitations, we chose Looker mainly due to its integration with Google Cloud and BigQuery.
Business Intelligence Team Lead at Oxagile4.5We use Looker for embedding dashboards, data governance, and complex solutions with multiple instances. The features like Symantec layer, LookML, and API are valuable. While good for large companies, improvements in tool integrations and roadmap transparency are needed.
Senior Manager Analytics at Aarki, Inc.4.5We use Looker to visualize data but need preexisting scripts to integrate with external sources. While Looker offers sectioning and drill-down features, improvements are needed in real-time querying, integrations, and visualization customization, particularly for client presentations.
Credit Risk Manager at ITF Group JSC4.0I use Looker to analyze data from Google Analytics and our internal sources. It's fast with Google Data Studio integration, though data blending needs improvement. It offers quick ROI for small companies due to its easy adoption and integration capabilities.
Software Engineer at Adaequare4.0I've utilized Looker for real estate and customer behavior analytics, finding it superior to other BI tools. It's user-friendly, especially with a strong data model and Google BigQuery. Improvements needed include better data retrieval and more documented materials.
Business Intelligence Analyst || Data Engineer at Traction Apps4.0I use Looker to analyze and resolve challenges in deploying payment services across various locations.

Senior Analytics Engineer at TalkDesk4.5I use Looker for data modeling, creating views, reports, and dashboards. Its ability to centralize data from various databases is valuable. However, the response time and database integration could improve. We deploy it on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
