"The product is easy to use."
"We can centralize all our data models."
"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."
"The stability of Looker has been good since I have been using it. However, it depends on what components are being used."
"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great."
"The tool is a cloud-based solution capable of integrating any kind of data in the world."
"The fact that the solution is visually appealing because of its lightning interfaces can be considered one of its most valuable features"
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the reporting tools."
"he most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of use."
"The tool is valuable. It's one of the greatest programs I'm currently working with, and I believe it will continue to be crucial in the next four to five years. It's the future of our operations. Integrating other systems and conducting campaigns is easy. The solution relies heavily on AI."
"It is a comprehensive solution. It has everything in it. I can easily find what I need."
"The out-of-the-box features are good for companies that want to try analytics and data science interventions."
"It's scalable."
"The integration with different databases must be improved."
"Integrations with other BI tools could be better."
"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."
"Stability needs improvement."
"The product does not have documented material."
"It needs to be more user-friendly."
"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 visualization capability of the product is limited."
"If a user leaves your organization, you shouldn't lose the visibility of all of the records."
"Improvement-wise, I feel the solution must be more robust since it is not exactly ready to handle large data."
"The product must be more transparent."
"All of the timesheets and appraisal management I have not been happy with. There should be some improvements. For example, as a management team, our managers do not have access to see a summary report, such as who is on leave today or how many hours each person logged in. You have to get into individual users and see. You cannot see a summary report, the reporting is missing. There should improve the reports."
"Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
"They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope."
"The price of Salesforce Einstein Analytics is quite a bit expensive for the region of Mexico. I think the price of the product could be better."
"Einstein Analytics could incorporate something like SFIA 8 to help users understand the underlying skill sets."
