"Powerful but Requires Expertise"

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Looker from other similar products?

1. Data Modeling with LookML 2. In-Database Architecture 3. Cloud-Native and API-First 4. Governance and Scalability 5. Developer-Friendly 6. Focus on Self-Service

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Looker is its semantic modeling layer powered by LookML. Here's why it's a standout feature: Consistency Across the Organization: By defining business logic (like revenue, churn, or customer segments) once in LookML, everyone—from analysts to executives—gets consistent answers regardless of who builds the report. Scalable Governance: LookML makes it easier to govern and scale analytics across teams without duplicating logic in every dashboard or report. Reusability & Modularity: Once a model is defined, it can be reused across different dashboards, making analytics faster and more efficient over time.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What many users dislike most about Looker is the steep learning curve of LookML and initial setup complexity

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Invest in Data Modeling Expertise Early. Start with a Clear Data Governance Strategy. Ensure Compatibility with Your Data Stack.
