Looker Pricing

Looker allows marketers to create and track custom metrics and specific KPIs, which is extremely useful for evaluating and measuring the success of our initiatives. I can get a detailed view of the performance of our strategies in real-time thanks to its advanced analytical capabilities.Looker's capabilities extend beyond general analysis to include specific functionality for digital marketing. I can analyze SEO and keyword data, identify relevant trends, and evaluate the performance of specific keywords. This data enables me to fine-tune our optimization strategies and increase our visibility in search engines.

When technical issues, such as reporting issues or data visualization issues, arise, our ability to make informed decisions and respond quickly is jeopardized. Instead of addressing problems and finding solutions directly, we must pause our activities and wait for IT or technical support to intervene and resolve the issues.These delays can have a significant impact on our daily operations' agility. Decisions based on quick, up-to-date analysis are critical in digital marketing, where trends change quickly, and adaptability is critical to success. Delays in resolving technical issues may impair our ability to capitalize on opportunities, adjust strategies, or fix bugs in real-time.

I like the most in Looker is that it allows me to visualize my data analysis and to explore and to understand my data efficiently. Also this platform has a wide variety of data sources. Aside from this it is also flexible and customizable and also allows me to make tables and graph for my data. It is also user friendly.

The most cons that I can say is that it is a quite expensive but the prize is worth it for it's uses and purpose.

1. Spectator ease of use is its greatest distinguishing feature. with . 2. Looker allows the user to learn more about the data (by creating insights and visualization). In other words, it shifts the workload from the analysts to a platform that can do the analysis independently. This helps with sizing. 3. Since Looker is a browser-based platform, it can be installed on any public cloud service and has flexible cloud database migration options.

I've noticed that dashboards take a long time to load when there is a lot of traffic. This is annoying, especially when we have a deadline to meet. 2. With scenes, the expense factor is much greater. It's the perfect answer for large organizations, but it can be very expensive for small teams and independent contractors.

Looker is incredibly easy to use for a casual user, which most of our users are. As soon as your email is activated, you have access to the product and new users need very little direction to start getting value out of it.

Relative to other BI tools, the advanced charting functionality is somewhat limited, but frankly that's not the main reason we bought Looker. Data scientists can use another tool of their choice, we have Looker for people who aren't data scientists.

It's a great data exploration tool for users who normally would get anxious when given a large dataset in something like Excel. It's generally simple to use and there can be unlimited Viewers (users at the lowest permissions level) through the enterprise product. Data Visualization is essentially done for you and Exploers (users at the second level of permissions) can build new visualizations & turn them into interactive dashboards. On the Looker platform, Explorers can locate a view (called an Explore) and then are given a list of dimensions and measures they can pull into a table. Users can create new dimensions using calculated fields and then save their views so any users with Viewer permissions (and up) can see what was put together.

With simplicity comes lack of flexibility. More skilled data analysts will want more flexibility than Looker can provide but at the same time you need to have highly skilled Data Analysts to be the Developers (high level of permissions) to set up the data so that less skilled analysts (the users who benefit from Looker most) who are Explorers don't build views that grossly misrepresent the data.

Things I like about this product: 1. Ease of use by our users - very intutive 2. Integration with our big data platform and databases. We use ours with Redshift and Aurora and they take most advantage of both systems. 3. Their super awesome customer support - always available chat who are really good at what they are doing. 4. Custom install options along with their hosted solutions. 5. Their whole team is involved with the product and customers top down. Really appreciate their responsiveness and customer-centric approach.

We really don't care about visualizations, but that can use some improvement to those who care. The LDAP integration setup is a pain. It works well once it's all setup. There is no roll-back once a version is installed. Work around is to restore from a backup. Would love to be able to do that as sometimes things don't always work the way we are used to and might require a rollback.

I love the simple easy to use interface thanks to the drag and drop feature which makes it easy to analyze data

The cost is pricy compared to other alternatives doing the same task

Easily pull data from hundreds of different sources to use in analysis or reporting dashboard that you can setup in minute.

Looker has a tendency to hang/freeze if you're working on reports with a lot of elements. You sometimes have to simple close the browser and reopen it to avoid oddball errors.

Google Looker is one of the best data-visualizing tools, it is easy to use, cheap, and flexible. I like the ready-to-use templates that Looker provides. Also, Looker can deal with complex reports and can show KPIs on multiple dimensions.

Google Looker is a great tool and beneficial for any business type, it is all about its advantages, and in my opinion it does not have any single problem or a disadvantage.

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.

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.

Looker is currently the best data visualization tool out there for those that are on a budget. That is because Looker is free to use.

While Looker is relatively easy to use for those who have a data analytics background. I do think that Looker could be easier and more intuitive to set up. Especially setting up data sources can be tricky.

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.

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

The looker team has great customer service. They are flexible and easy to reach. The chat feature in the product is awesome, as it quickly connects you to a Customer Success rep who can help you with pretty much anything!

The cost for this product is quite high compared to other BI tools. Also, this product requires a full time data engineer to keep the backend of the product to build new data models.

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.

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.

- Easy to use interface - Extensive feature set

- The actual visualisations are not as attractive as some of their competitors - I've occasionally run into bugs when displaying dashboards at low resolutons

- Support team - Philosophy of data driving to action in one platform - Simplified frontend and technical backend to allow range of users access to the same model

- Limited visualisation options in Looker 4, but this should be improving soon - Cost is hard to justify for Asia-based clients where the salary arbitrage is less of a factor

Looker helps me put actionable data in front of various teams within my company, regardless of how tech savvy they are. I love being able to schedule reports and alerts so I can spend more time working on higher value items. Looker's support is exceptional, from the top down to the chat team, they are responsive and helpful, and just nice people to boot.

No cons were added to this review

Cloud native. Scalable. Data modeling capability.

Some capabilities are not able to be administered by users - sequential derived table creation, and some other aspects of data persistence.

Looker's real strength is in its ability to model data. My company installed it on our Google Cloud Platform and have had no problems. We have it pointing to extremely large datasets located in Big Query, and it provides a more robust access and visualizations than SQL or Python. Looker Professional Services helped with installation and training. Our team was productive in about three to four weeks.

There is a steep learning curve and not a lot of free resources. The visualizations are not as nice as other applications. The tool can get very expensive when considering the user types and server licenses.

The charts, tables and graphs look very beautiful. It takes a full time data analyst to get looker up and running. The results look great and can be published online where execs can use to drill down.

Looker is not a drag and drop type of BI Tool. You’ll need a full time data analyst to use SQL to pull everything together, build tables first. Once that’s there, they can then send to people to put together tables. To get anything functional requires lots of time and is not easy for people to use that aren’t tech savvy. It is also extremely expensive compared to Tableau

The interface is simple, the product is easy to use after connecting the data

It's very slow, it takes too long to run any query, and the support is non-existing.

Easy to use, Creates stunning graphs on complex data, fully customizable, low-price product, can't beat it.

No cons whatsoever. Easily integrated and we learned how to use this product quickly.

Data mondeling functionalities inside & all visualisations are code based

Expensive for a start up company

Looker have done what most BI tools are missing, they managed to create a tool that can be used both for nice visualizations, but also to do deep data analysis. I love how everything is flexible, and its always possible to explore your data a step deeper.

Im still missing some flexibility compared to do data analysis in pure SQL and Excel. The price is in the high end compared to the competitors
