Looker Reviews in October 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

What do you like best? How fast we got it up and running. We rolled it out a month and a half *ahead* of schedule.

On the end-user side, positive reviews have come from the ease with which data can pivot and how quickly a business user can ask follow-up questions of the data, and go from answer to followup question to next answer. What do you dislike? If you have silo'd data, you can ...

Looker has been a gamechanger in terms of allowing people across our company to access data

What do you like best? Looker's power and flexibility has allowed the product to evolve with our needs over 2.5 years.

Robust and easy to get going quickly

What do you like best? I love how easy it was to get going with Looker. Everything you need is at your finger tips from the moment you sign up.

Powerful, Flexible, Fun BI

What do you like best? Easy drag n' drop exploration and complete control over your data models provides an awesome balance of ease of use and powerful customization. I was part of a team reviewing many BI tools to find one that fit our needs. When I first saw the demo of Looker, I knew we had found exactly what we were looking for. Other tools we looked at had a "black box" implementation run by the vendor, after which could explore within some relatively narrow confines. Looker ...
