User Testimonials
	Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts Component	Looker
Likelihood to Recommend	Fantastic product to embed in any SaaS solution for reporting and data exports. Excellent performance, ability to customize fields and tons of other features out of the box that makes it a well-rounded tool that is easy to use. To top it off their support is amazing for answering technical questions quickly and they provide great examples to learn how to interact with the code. We are very happy with our choice to use Flexmonster! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	When you need to create a centralised dashboard for multiple stakeholders that blends cross-channel reporting. As an SEO agency reporting for clients - Looker is a great solution. It's less appropriate depending on the intended users. For instance, in my experience Looker reports have been under-utilised because they're not accessed regularly, provide too much noise or often simple PDF reports are preferred Incentivized Quentin Aisbett SEO Strategist Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	It is very easy to start a new dashboard and configure what you want to display by just selecting/dragging from the list of available columns. It is intuitive, mainly if you use other Google services like Google Sheets. The look and feel is modern and nice. It it very useful to have an immediate visual overview of the data in a spreadsheet. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	I wish I could get more granular in the Google ad data, such as down to the campaign type, instead of having to see only all campaigns. The setup can be time-consuming if you're not using the product regularly. Editing the dashboard requires a few logins; I wish it was more seamless. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	We are very haooy with Looker, it provides us with all the funciomalities we need for both the day to day oerformance tracking and longer periods reporting. It is easy to use for account managers, configurable and customizable for soecialists and what is most imoortant, our clinets generally really love it Incentivized David Mynář Head Of Online Marketing Read full review
Usability	Checks all the boxes! Easy to use, great out of the box feature set and fantastic support team Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Looker is relatively easy to use, even as it is set up. The customers for the front-end only have issues with the initial setup for looker ml creations. Other "looks" are relatively easy to set up, depending on the ETL and the data which is coming into Looker on a regular basis. Incentivized JH Joe Hughes Senior DevOps Engineer Read full review
Reliability and Availability	No answers on this topic	No objections Incentivized David Mynář Head Of Online Marketing Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	Somehow resources heavy, both on server and client. I recommned at least 50Mbs data rate and high performance desktop comouter to be abke to run comolex tasks and configure larger amount of data. On the other hand, the client does not need to worry when viewing, the performance is usually ok Incentivized David Mynář Head Of Online Marketing Read full review
Support Rating	Quick response to questions and feedback, excellent documentation for learning about the product and tons of examples to leverage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Never had to work with support for issues. Any questions we had, they would respond promptly and clearly. The one-time setup was easy, by reading documentation. If the feature is not supported, they will add a feature request. In this case, LDAP support was requested over OKTA. They are looking into it. Incentivized Anson Abraham Data Lord Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Very satisfied, easy to implement Incentivized David Mynář Head Of Online Marketing Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	In my opinion, Looker is no Power BI. It is good, but I think Power BI is amazing. That said, in my experience, Power BI is nowhere near as easy to setup and report on Google services as Looker is. We plan to continue using Power BI for c-suite and corporate reporting, especially for internal databases, but will gladly use Looker for our marketing information for AdWords, Analytics, Search Console, and YouTube. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Other than some people not liking the numbers, I don't see any negative impacts; we haven't experienced that. The reports help us unravel the story of our users and how they are sifting through our pages. Our clients enjoy seeing the numbers to understand better what stands out on their sites. The reports have helped us see what campaigns are working and where we need to tweak things. The reports have enabled us to have better conversations with stakeholders about how their web pages should be modified, edited, etc., to reflect the data.
