Anyone who needs to transform raw data and aggregated data into reports. Key markets include marketing research, consumer insights, consultancies and companies needing Report Automation.
Can be used by organizations of any size, from small businesses to large enterprises.
Once you click-in to the program, it's so easy to use and wonderfully helpful. We're working on a project with multiple markets, so I appreciate the flexibility we're offered through the templates.
I would feel that there is a need to change the interface, where in drag and drop option can be initiated, especially when there is a need to generate the tabular data tables.
Great bang for the buck with the software with easy integration into excel makes it a seamless transition for organizations who need to do data analysis.
The data swapping/uploading between different markets process has been really challenging. I receive many error messages or general pop up windows and I don't understand what they mean.
Torben was very supportive and helpful, as I need help with tech things. WE had several emails and 2-3 Zoom meetings.
This is the part that I've had the most difficult time learning.
First of all: OfficeReports offers a very good and fast support in case of questions/issues. Very useful: possibility to use/create customized templates/layouts.
Unfortunately, we spotted OfficeReports too late.
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.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
