Cons
"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.""Other tools might be worth considering if you need more advanced features or support for a larger user base.""Stability and scalability an be improved for a full ten.""It's not yet a replacement for a complete BI tool.""Panels are not as easy to use as other data extraction UIs.""Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.""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."

More Google Data Studio Cons →

"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.""The product is natively integrated into the Salesforce ecosystem. You also need a CRM license. It should be more flexible with other platforms.""When it comes to generating reports, it appears that many users rely on experts to handle technical aspects. For instance, if you require a weekly report displaying accounts transitioning in and out of your modules, it seems challenging to accomplish without consulting experts for assistance. Such tasks should be user-friendly and easily achievable without external assistance.""The tool needs to simplify its features.""They have a lot of opportunity to improve BI tools. With Einstein Analytics, we have a very minimal scope.""If I could improve Tableau CRM I would make it as powerful as Tableau. Tableau CRM is more integrated and it's on the web, but it has less functionality. It is lacking functionality at this time.""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.""Better pricing would make it available to more users and we would likely use it more broadly within the organization."
