Pros

“For example taking leads from CRM, adding customer data from ERP, adding external website users who completed our squeeze sheet and overlaying geo data - amazing!”

Brian K.

Senior Director

“It provides strong visualization capabilities and makes data analysis more accessible once you become familiar with the platform.”

Cara H.

Adjuster

“It makes it easy to visualize data and identify trends that you cant easily see when working directly in a spreadsheet or static reports.”

Lauren L.

President

Pros

“Data Studio was easy enough to learn without comprehensive analytics training. Since our company is a Google Analtics shop, it's an easy tool to get top-level analytics for web pages. While you can also bring in other data sources using paid APIs, we only used the free version.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“Direct integration with Google Analytics and easy to manipulate data and build dashboards for end users to share and view”

Ryan C.

Analytics Manager

“I love that it requires no additional software, and can connect easily to our MySQL tables.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

Cons

“Its very slow to load, and the sharing links are annoying you should be able to copy the browser url instead of taking an extra minute to load the shareable link”

Mrwa S.

Senior Solutions Engineer

“Also, it is rather difficult to embed Tableau dashboards into web pages and provide interactive action from the web page level; the Tableau.js library and support is slightly limited.”

Robert S.

Data Analyst

“It can be slow with large datasets, and some tasks require extra data prep outside Tableau.”

Sachita B.

Student

Cons

“I found Data studio to be buggy at times, and dashboards that haven't been touched in months would break.”

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“For example, sometimes I struggled to edit the title card and had to refresh the page to get it to load.”

Rhys B.

Senior Product Manager

“We had a few issues with the reports not loading properly when downloaded as a PDF (Blank pages when there should have been data) and the only solution that we have found is repeatedly downloading and/or waiting a few hours to try again.”

Bryan P.

Director of Operations
