Cons
"Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""When you physically install a product on one machine instead of the cloud, you have a better visibility, best icon quality, etc.. It's more of an issue with how we are adapting to the transition. We are still in the early moments of using this tool, and we need to go deeper to discover some improvements.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.""There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"I would like to see more development and growth for the support of Knowledge Base and Community forums.""They should improve the filters to create downloaded data by moving them to the top of the dashboard.""The solution's setup process could be easier.""At present there are additional costs involved if we wish to share our data queues within this solution, which we would like to see removed.""Larger datasets will sometimes give a "Accumulated logs" error when trying to make minor changes. T""I would like Sisense to improve its performance, particularly when we are dealing with large-scale data.""I would love to have more customization capabilities for building dashboards, especially in creating custom widget sizes.""This solution does not have tabs. In order to have tabs, you have to download an add-on to mimic the tabs. They should be integrated to improve the solution."
