"Looker helps us to enable the data our customer care for them"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Looker is a user friendly platform, it make is easy to create a data set and visualize it. I think another strong functionality is how easy we can share the report or have schedule to send a report.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Sometimes running long query take some time, which seems they have improved on their new version

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our customers care about visitor's engagement and having various reports and combine some various valuable data set is important and by embedding the reports in our platform it is big step to let customer achieve for what they are looking.

"Looker Review"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Ease of use. Abstraction over data model is truly innovative and powerful. Integration with Git is a game changer.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I would like Looker to be a SPA application, so when you working on multiple windows/tabs, each tab stays in sync with my changes.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Services.

"Easier than Tableau, great for Marketing Professionals"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

I love that Google Data studio easily integrates with Google Ads. Google ads has very poor dashboard/performance functionality so google data studio makes it easy to monitor performance.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Wish it integrated with more advertising platforms out of the box (or that more advertising platforms integrated with google data studio). In particular I would love it if Bing and Marin software integrated with Google Data Studio.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned above, I'm primarily using google data studio to do advanced analysis of google ads data, and create performance and QA dashboards for our advertising platforms.

"Best service for MySQL for PostgreSQL services"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Google Cloud SQL is a fully-managed relational Mysql database hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. It basically provides database backup to all the applications working on Google Compute Engine. Cloud SQL is cheaper for most types of workloads. It can scales massively in reads and writes of loads of data. Easier than Cloud DataStore, where we need to use BQ for some of the tasks. Our data is replicated at several locations. Google data transfer is more secure than anything. Google security is better than other cloud providers.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Cloud SQL runs MySQL, which will be limited by the bounds of MySQL. Sometimes shows weird behavior. Some of the Mysql features like Performance schema, Mysql replication, and user-defined functions are also not supported by Google SQL. A couple of Mysql statements like “LOAD_FILE are not supported by Google Cloud SQL. offline requests have a time limit of 10 minutes and most of the requests must finish within 60 seconds.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have our audit control tables implemented in MySQL databases over Cloud SQL, in I think 2 dataprocs. Yes, we also have our daily load data sync up in cloud SQL (MySQL) databases.

"Best for Hadoop and Scala Spark"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Dev-Ops expertise friendly, It is very easy to use. It gives almost 99.9% uptime and connection speed. A lot of documentation available on its website. A normal website user always look for cheap solutions. Google offers a 300 dollars free cloud service for 1 year which is very attractive for small website users. These are very scalable.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Late entry to the Cloud marketing. Fewer features and services. Some feature are still in the Beta version. Fewer worldwide data centers.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have (our company client) preprod and production cluster fully maintained by Google dataproc. It helps us a lot maintaining them. We both can easily access the cluster.

"Great for reports"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

I like that there are a ton of connectors that make it easy to make daily, monthly, YOY reports and dashboards for me and clients.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

I don't like that they are slow to add new connectors for sites like Pinterest Ads that I would like to report. But that's with third parties who are actually creating the connectors.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Good looking reports that are fully customizable. And automated reports that pull in data so I don't have to spend hours every month pulling in data.

"self service data exploration."
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

It has a simple and huge powerful language permeating data with meaning.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

System has no analytic engine of its own and hence it only operates entirely on the data in once database.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Enables one to create own visualization and graphs rather than importing from excel spreadsheets.

"Implementation Specialist "
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

The speed. The visuals. The ease of slicing, dicing, and visually digesting data.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Initially, there was a bit of a learning curve regarding how to organize my search results. It wasn't super intuitive, needing to click on a reach dimension to do so when the filter and pivot buttons were so obviously an option. Clicking to add to your results parameters was not.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

The ability to easily visualize and form your data results makes it easier to communicate with our clients. Our company was able to combo the use of looker and another technology to save on operation costs. It only takes a few minutes to drill deeply into large data sets, then you're done.

"The only calendar I refer for everything!"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

The automatic sync of personal and professional events with Google Calendar.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

Nothing so far. Everything seems great about this calendar app.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Every booking, meeting, conference, task, etc. are reminded autonomously at required intervals and that helps me to complete the work within the deadline.

"Enabling Citizen Analytics"
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

Looker extends analytical capabilities and the possibility of discovering insights beyond the traditional data or analyst role. This extended domestication of data across organizations adopting Looker has caused a rapid growth in insight driven, citizen analytics cultures. Looker's customer care team is industry-best, with immediate access to friendly, knowledgeable engineers who are always quick to understand the issue and troubleshoot.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

With immense and rapid growth comes pressure to deploy higher and higher quality code, which typically results in slower time to market for feature requests. That said, Looker continues to maintain an above-average time to market for releases. Looker's rapid growth has also meant a shift in partnership dynamic away from the start-up mentality, however this is too be expected with the growth.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

With an abstraction layer of LookML, organizations don't need to rely on the bread line of a data or analytics team as in years past. Data doesn't need to be consolidated, centralized, or even scrubbed/clean. All of this can be taken care of in the model layer, enabling end users to explore a domain their familiar with without having to write a single line of SQL.

"Looker helps companies."
What do you like best about Google Cloud?

It is a great product to give to people in all departments of your company as it has access to the data and allows them to explore what they can provide. It's amazing. In addition, the supplier is intelligent, responds and constantly improves the product, delivering a new version approximately every month. Their customer service is second to none and they are always happy to know the new features they need in the product. Also, I like that the software is based on the web, so you can access it from anywhere. I am also very happy that the analysis is now completely centralized in my company. This makes people who need the information they need much easier to help, and no longer have to spend a lot of time on ad hoc queries.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud?

The visualization features have advanced a lot over the years, but sometimes it is still difficult to customize the visualizations. The loading of the control panels can be very slow. Validating the code can sometimes last forever and occasional errors cause it to fall temporarily for the entire company. I must say that there are not many opportunities for formal training or help documentation.

What problems is Google Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Looker allows all team members to access the data. Looker is a powerful tool, useful for adding data visualizations to reports, making business decisions based on data and any other task that requires you to analyze the data. Looker has allowed my company to organize and deepen the data we collect in our CRM. You can really get to the specifics of things. I like that you can easily create an aspect when necessary and have the option of not saving it if it is not necessary again.
