Looker brings the data and business teams together by making it easy for everyone to explore and understand the data that drives business.
XLSTAT has a range of depth of functionality even in its Basic version which is outstanding and the fact that it sits happily on top of EXCEL makes it a winner as far as I am concerned.
When downloading it or updating to a newer version, it sometimes will not directly work, it sometimes has errors and even if uninstalled and installed again, my have the same error.
Good experience with the free trial so I bought a license. Customer service was great when I reached out to them with questions.
I have not experienced any things about this software that were negative.
Of the available options XLSTAT looked to me to be the best marriage of functionality, robust calculations and ease of use.
But later it started happening when at least one other xls file is opened (which is kinda ridiculous).
XLSTAT helps me to get the most out of my client's data with peace of mind that the analyses are done properly and that the conclusions are reliable.
Sometimes the difficult in reinstall the old versions in other computers.
I love the ability to visualize all of the data in one space. Dashboard creation is easy and so useful.
Can get a bit confusing and confining with more complex queries/analysis. Machine written sql can be annoying.
We use ours with Redshift and Aurora and they take most advantage of both systems. Their super awesome customer support - always available chat who are really good at what they are doing.
To be fair, if you have a terrible underlying data warehouse, then all Looker will do is expose that.
It’s a good option if you want to do dashboards connected to google sheets. Also a good alternative to PowerBi.
Unfortunately, their documentation could use some improving as often I find myself confused and unsure what to do with their docs.
Looker has been a great and useful tool for out business. Where we've found challenges is in the specific data dictionary and set-up, which internally was not well prepared prior to implementation.
I dislike how long it can take certain reports in Looker to load.
Henri: My name is Henri and I work as a analytics market manager for an IT services company specializing in experience management studies. I give a four out of five to XLSTAT. So before using XLSTAT, we were very much involved with Excel itself, using it to the extreme, and we selected XLSTAT because we needed additional advanced statistical functions to perform the task on our data from experience management studies. We use XLSTAT because it was very compatible with Excel and all of our data was in Excel. We also found it very easy to use and the support was very appreciated with good tutorials and a wealth of videos and PDF documents covering the various use cases. The first project we started on XLSTAT was a bit of a pain because we're not trained enough on the [inaudible 00:01:21], on the configuration of the functions. But after a while, we mastered the various functionalities and the second project went very smoothly. What we learned from using XLSTAT is that you really needed to know a lot about your data and the structure of your data. Once you've covered that piece, you had to select the right modeling functions or statistical functions and use them appropriately to develop the solution for your data analysis project.
