"The product is easy to use."
"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great."
"It is a pretty stable solution because it is a cloud-based product."
"Looker allows you to generate the most optimal SQL queries in a DC through UI actions. We had signed a contract with Google Cloud to use BigQuery. That was the primary reason we adopted Looker. It works better with BigQuery than any other BI platform. We also like how this tool was developed. It was designed with an eye toward microservices architecture."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I didn't face any issues with stability."
"We can centralize all our data models."
"The stability of Looker has been good since I have been using it. However, it depends on what components are being used."
"It's a very strong analytics tool."
"Zoho Analytics's most valuable feature is the ability to provide excellent analytics through a single platform."
"I like the way I can share dashboards and embed dashboards. I normally use embedding. So, I create a dashboard, and I embed it into specific websites. Sharing of the dashboard is seamless, and it is easier than any other visualization platform, even Tableau."
"The integration interface is very easy to use and allows you to directly connect to a variety of APIs."
"The solution’s dashboard is very good."
"Ask Zia is a great feature that I use to quickly decide what improvements I need to make in order to present the data that I want to show."
"The data source is the most valuable feature as it can perform any function."
"Scheduling of reports and dashboards is the most valuable feature of Zoho Analytics."
"Looker doesn't connect to Excel, which is a huge disappointment because a lot of data is presented in Excel. Also, it can't consume data directly from REST APIs, which is necessary. Looker needs to expand its horizons when it comes to data sources. The inability to connect to different data sources is hampering our use cases. Currently, it only has an ODBC connection that connects to a database. It needs to connect to other data sources, such as Excel, APIs, and different platforms."
"The main area of concern in Looker is probably related to blending the data from the different sources, including the data present internally in the company and on the cloud."
"The integration with different databases must be improved."
"It needs to be more user-friendly."
"The visualization capability of the product is limited."
"The product does not have documented material."
"Stability needs improvement."
"Integrations with other BI tools could be better."
"There should be more types of graphics available for use in the reports."
"The customer service and support for this solution could be improved by faster response times."
"The solution does not provide call center facilities for customer support."
"The hourly pricing needs improvement."
"A higher degree of artificial intelligence could be included in this solution. The data and overall insights could be improved."
"It would be great to have more user input fields which can be used on dashboards."
"There is a limitation that we cannot create more than 300 columns in a worksheet on Zoho Analytics."
"I have a lower rating when it comes to Zoho Analytics. The tool has poor performance. It needs to improve the dimensions and measures."
