The product's initial setup phase is very simple.

The best thing about the tool is that it allows you to share information easily and dashboards with colleagues and teammates because it's all online. No matter where you are, as long as you have the Internet, you can connect and use these dashboards. Google made good documentation for this tool. There are many examples of how to use and create dashboards and videos on YouTube. So, I think it's easy to learn.

Data Studio integrates seamlessly with other Google products, and we can use it with other APIs if we like.

The company dashboard is useful because we could share it via a link as a reminder for everyone to check it weekly. We observed the progress of our portfolio from last week to the current week, allowing us to compare revenues.

Looker Studio Cons review quotes

The challenges with Google Data Studio are associated with the security part, making it an area where improvements are required.
Dmitriy Yugin - PeerSpot reviewer

The tool has a lot of room for improvement. It's not very professional and allows for only simple tasks like indicating KPIs or quick calculations. It lacks a good calculation-based language like Power BI's DAX, making it less suitable for professional use. Additionally, the variety of visualization tools is limited, and customization options are restricted.

There are issues with integration and I encountered limits and warnings, especially with my pivot table size.

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.

Insisting on forums, blogs and community outreach in communications, and posting videos on an established calendar would be useful.

There is a significant degree of sophistication required to compete with Tableau or Cognos.
