Our company (ticketswap) is growing rapidly, and so does change our database. Looker enables me to set definitions in one place and create multiple of different data models, which is perfect for a market place where users can be both buyers and sellers. The customer care is fabulous, answering fast and efficiënt Pros Data mondeling functionalities inside & all visualisations are code based Cons Expensive for a start up company Review Source YH Yichen H.

However, if you only need a tool for small projects with little use, it may not be worth the investment and time. Pros Looker can do a lot!
