What differentiates Looker from other similar products?
Looker is different from Mode or Tableau in its plug-and-play simplicity of use for non-technical team members. Once fields and dimensions are set up, users don't need knowledge of SQL to research, analyze, plan, and predict using their organization's powerful data. For those who want to take it a step further, developing is straightforward, making it a great product for those with career growth aspirations in analytics without as much experience needed.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love how accessible everything is. Anyone on the team can answer basically any question with a quick query.
What do you dislike most about this product?
People who are more experienced with SQL may find other options, such as Mode, simpler to query. If an organization uses Looker along with another product, there is risk of an information bottleneck. It's important that more advanced data analysts spend time with the product to ensure that ease and access of data breaks down information barriers between departments and team members of different skill levels.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Make sure someone in the organization identified to take the time to understand and develop Looker, and someone will be available to continuously reevaluate tables and joins as your product grows. Support is extremely helpful, but an internal champion or two will ensure that everyone is up and running and has access to everything they need all the time.
