The APIs are exposed at every level, so it's highly modular

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. You can't create very attractive visuals with the built-in features, but I think they're providing some extensions to develop different visualizations. Looker can't create multiple sheets. You can only create one dashboard. It's not that you're able to toggle through different sheets to navigate different visuals. It's just one and people have to scroll through the dashboard. So scrolling is not something that people generally like to do, rather than segregating them in multiple tabs of sheets.

Easy to use with a nice design and good connectivity

TIBCO Jaspersoft has two versions. Version one is the enterprise version, The other one is the community version, and which allows us to use it for free. In the free version, we have to support ourselves. For the enterprise version, you have technical support if you need it. I wish that we had more support while in the portal, at least for the community version, or if we could talk to someone regarding issues, like how to configure or fine-tune would be helpful. We'd like to have help on how to solve some problems when we use the product and have some error or limitation. They need to, at the very least, improve the community. The Enterprise Edition has support, and we can force some tickets through the portal and then have an engineer support us in some cases. However, in terms of the subscription price, it's a bit high. Therefore, we'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing.

Pros

"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten. I didn't face any issues with stability."

"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."

"It is a pretty stable solution because it is a cloud-based product."

"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great."

"It's quite effortless to navigate through various applications and review their updated data in real-time."

"We can centralize all our data models."

"With Looker, I have experienced benefits in terms of usability and shareability."

"The product is easy to use."

More Looker pros

"The designer is the most valuable feature."

"We can set any property dynamically."

"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."

"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."

"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."

"It's easy to use and maintain."

"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."

Cons

"The visualization capability of the product is limited."

"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."

"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."

"The integration with different databases must be improved."

"The product does not have documented material."

"Stability needs improvement."

"Currently, JSON format is the main format we use, however, in TIBCO Jaspersoft, XML format is the default and JSON did not work because TIBCO did not fix it."

"The reporting templates have room for improvement."

"There might be some compatibility issues with the dashboard if we're using the latest version and some clients are using the older version. Some features might not be supported."

"The upgrades are not easy."

"The stability of TIBCO Jaspersoft needs improvement."

"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."

"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."

"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cheap."

"It's not cheap, but it's not expensive for big companies."

"The price of Looker usually depends on the solution's provider, but it is usually cheaper than the other products in the market. Looker is offered at different prices for different companies."

"Looker is expensive and could be made better by reducing it."

"I do not have to make any payments to use the solution."

"Since I checked last time, only one annual license costs about $25,000."

"I find the price to be reliable and not overly costly."

"The pricing is cost effective because it is based on servers rather than users."

"I give the cost of the solution a five out of ten."

"I would rate the pricing as four out of five because it's expensive."

"The solution is a little bit expensive."
