Designed for businesses of all sizes, it is a scientific graphing and data analysis solution that enables users to automate processes for creating customizable charts and graphs.
Can be used by organizations of any size, from small businesses to large enterprises.
Clean interface and easy to use. The software looks good and the plots produced are good looking with good quality for publishing.
If you get frustrated by ArcGIS, don't use Sigmaplot. Sigmaplot is way more frustrating.
It is amazing how easily it creates the graphs based on the information provided, it has totally provided an advantage of having these graphs for easier to understand data representation.
Occasional problems with pasting in data that require reformatting.
I have been impressed with its ability to create exact graphs of scientific data while not having unnecessary layers of complexity.
The software provides the option, but unfortunately it is a bit clunky. I often struggle with knowing what the software needs (e.g., starting initial values?) or how to identify the parameters.
The graphs dont see like simple toys, are vero professional and complete. Its really good for make the graph and visualizations for papers and similar publications.
It do not support complicated dataformats such as netcdf, hdf etc.
Overall google data studio serves the purpose nod ioubt and creates very impressive dashboards with great customization. Just the statistical tools can be even more improved.
The bad part about Data Studio is how often the software crashes and I have to stop all my work to fix it.
Making a dashboard for our team to use internally was so fun and intuitive, we developed a customer-facing dashboard that allows users to make exciting visualizations of their data.
Importing data can often be a pain and it is sometimes quite difficult to set up connections to refresh data sources, which makes reporting more manual and time-consuming than it should be.
One of the very great option for creating great data visualization and dashboards with ease.
But If you are not a Data Analyst or you are not into data, keep it with the premade dashboards. The options and customizations can appear a little intimidating.
The data analytics has been really great and i liked it very much. Even the dashboard is very customizable and the data visualization that comes is very impressive and appealing.
It's missing a few features, and I've noticed a few bugs here and there.
Andrew: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm an SEO manager. I give Google Data Studio a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Along with Google Data Studio, we currently use Power BI in addition because Google Data Studio, while it's very powerful, it doesn't have all the features that Power BI does. However, Power BI lacks a great sharing interface, to be able to share the dashboards within our organization, and that's where Google Data Studio really shines. We chose to go with Google Data Studio preeminently because it's free, but also because it has great interface for sharing, and that was one thing we were definitely lacking with Power BI. Getting started with Google Data Studio was incredibly easy as compared to an enterprise level piece of software like Power BI or Tableau. Google Data Studio operates in the cloud. So really, as long as you have a Gmail account or a Google account, I should say, you're ready to go. For a new organization looking at Google Data Studio, I would make sure that it covers all your needs. You may find, like us, that you need a more enterprise level piece of software, like Power BI, Tableau. There are many data digitalization tools out there. Google Data Studio does a great job. It doesn't have all of the features, but it's definitely a great tool.
