What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
Looker uses an internal language "LookML" which it uses for data transformations that must be required to be done before presenting the data on a dashboard. This gives additional control over the data being used while creating dashboards
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Looker has a marketplace from where we can download additional charts which are not present in the standard implementation. This marketplace is continuously updated and new charts are added almost every week
What do you dislike most about this product?
While Looker is an amazing analytical tool, it is also quite difficult for someone who does not have knowledge of Data Modelling and SQL. Hence, it takes sometime to understand the LookML language and start the implementation
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Looker is no doubt one of the best analytical and one should definitely try it out as the number of features are increasing day by day
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Efficient Service
