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.
