Lookerの評判・口コミ 全13件

What do you dislike?

The only drawback is the LookerML, which is just a learning curve. Once we learn that, the hurdle is gone.

What do you like best?

The fact that you can embed Looker within websites, as well as use SQL on the backend is a plus.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would recommend this product to others who are looking for a user-friendly product that produces high quality data visualization without complexity.

What do you dislike?

Limited flexibility in Layout and Design of Looks and Dashboards means little customization is possible.

What do you like best?

Single source of truth for dimensions and measures via LookML. Easy, intuitive UI for end users to explore data and author their own reports (Looks). High performant when leveraging a speedy cloud based DB platform.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If your data isn't in a good place/platform, don't expect great performance from Looker, as it is simply executing SQL directly against the database.

What do you dislike?

Some of the visualizations are lacking. I am looking forward to more advanced visualizations shortly.

What do you like best?

The self service aspect is awesome. Glad our employees can do amazing reporting.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Make sure you have surrounding products/stack that can scale

What do you dislike?

Too much HTML and CSS sanitization! I had to jump through a lot of hoops in order to accomplish some of the requirements I had for an explore.

What do you like best?

Making custom visualizations is super fun! I also really enjoy Lookml. I'm a developer by heart so it's 100% my focus, and if the code is fun then the product is fun.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you really want a product that is easy to use for a BI solution then looker is probably one of your best bets. It's super simple to set up, and anybody with development experience can really job hop in and go.

What do you dislike?

alignment on dimension and metrics, prefer not to have an order on measure aligning to right side

What do you like best?

documentation, templated filters, explore, ease of deployment

Recommendations to others considering the product:

EASE OF USE

What do you dislike?

Some visualizations are limited - I would like a wider range of options. I end up using Python's visualization libraries at times to overcome Looker limitiations.

What do you like best?

Lookml is easy to iterate upon, our Models are great for enforcing data quality across a sprawling data warehouse.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

A performant Lookml model is critical

What do you dislike?

Visualizations could be better and more features. While one can always do custom visualizations, I'd like to see more features working out of the box

What do you like best?

Easy for business users to use regardless of background - it really allows very broad organizational involvement for data and analytics. At the same time, similar data disciplines are still enforced across different users to avoid confusion and minimize churn.

What do you dislike?

The development workflow can be slow....

What do you like best?

Looker makes it easy to share data with stakeholders

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Do the demo, you wont regret

What do you dislike?

I don't like the fact that they have use their own terminology for to many things, such as "Looks" and "Spaces" that users have to learn, and providing additional motivation to reluctant users for resisting adoption. That, on top of the fact it is fairly complex and has a fairly steep learning curve. That said, once you get it, though, its really easy to use.

What do you like best?

I like the fact that i can create almost any form of presentation of the data accessible to the application, and share it with anyone set up as a user in my company. They, likewise, can do the same. I like the fact that I can explore new data slicing and presentation options as new needs and ideas present themselves. It is easy to use once you get over the initial steep learning curve, and terminology barrier (see "dislikes"). I also like the fact that once I set up a report I don't have to keep updating it to get current data (assuming I've set it up properly!)

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Our implementation is via Salesfusion, our MA platform, and is paid for through that subscription. The biggest thing to watch for in my opinion is getting the right custom fields implemented from your data source platform. I don't know whether it is a limitation of Salesfusion or Looker, but we were only able to get a portion of the custom fields that we need implemented in this platform. As you know, your analysis is only as good as the available data, and if you don't have access to all of it, you get an incomplete picture. Also, setup is very complex and tedious. Although I didn't have to do it - Salesfusion did - it was clear that it was a long, complex process. It took about 3 months to get our instance up and running.
