### "My favorite Report Platform"

August 25, 2019

5.0

Is my favorite platform to create reports. I just love it, it really changes the Analytics works not only for me and my team but also for my clients.

Pros

It helps me to manage, control and understand data. It´s really useful and saves me a lot of time. I can create entire campaign reports in a few hours, adding dynamic charts, text, maps and a lot of graphic elements that make my reports more attractive and easy to understand.

Cons

It took me a little bit of time understanding how it works; but once I learned everything was easier for me.

### "Good for displaying data for a large group"

July 29, 2021

4.0

Pros

I use this to present spreadsheet data to members of my organization. It's not perfect, but it does the job well enough.

Cons

There is a steep learning curve with almost no documentation on how to use it. You have to rely on YouTube videos from other users.

Reason for choosing Google Data Studio

This was free.

### "A must if you are using Google Analytics"

February 9, 2021

5.0

Great so far, especially because the tools are free and is fully integrated with Google Analytics, so you don't have to code or know SQL.

Pros

As a person who doesn't work as a Data Analyst or Scientist, Data Studio allows you to create dashboards in a relatively intuitive way, as long as you have experience with Google Analytics. I really like the fact that there are standard dashboards that you can customize to show the data that you need, just by customizing the reports and graphs you can easily recognize the variables and values because it's fully integrated with GA you can even grab the segments and apply them.

Cons

Nothing, as I have never gone deeper into the functions. 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.

Looking forward to seeing more of what this can do but afraid it takes a specialized skill set to be useful.

Pros

Another great free tool from Google. Exciting to see how this evolves and compliments Google Analytics data with reporting.

Cons

Takes some skill to operate. I'm not sure I have the data expertise to make it work for my teams reporting needs.

Google Data Studio is a tool that I use regularly to report and visualize the effects of online campaigns.

Pros

Google Data Studio is a great tool for data visualization and reporting of digital marketing activities. The multitude of available charts, tables and data allows you to quickly create legible reports.

### "Excellent Free-to-Use tool for BI"

September 5, 2019

5.0

Despite that it's not the best functional BI tool, it really solves a lot of data needs.

Pros

What I most liked about this tool is that it makes so easy and secure to share reports with people in my organization (we have G-Suite accounts). Also, this tool have a perfect integration for reading data from Google Sheets.

Cons

As I said, the Free-to-Use comes at a cost: it lacks a wide variety of functionalities. For example: is not possible to connect to SQL Server databases, lacks support for a wide variety of charts (gauge) and is not possible to modify chart labels.

August 7, 2019

5.0

Pros

Obviously there's lots more you can do with Data Studio other than just reporting, but for digital marketing this has made life so much easier creating reports as often as needed, and even have them emailed on a schedule via PDF.

Sometimes filters don't allow you to get as granular as you would like.

### "My favorite new Google program"

July 31, 2019

5.0

My SEO analyst uses this software every month to deliver my website data reports and I've LOVED the reports she has sent me. They're so easy to use and understand and I highly recommend this program to anyone trying to organize and present data in an interactive way.

Pros

I like that the data is interactive, easy to understand, and so clear and organized for the viewer.

Cons

The Google share settings annoy me but that isn't specific to this program, just Google as a whole.

### "Amazing data crunching, but with a step learning curve"

July 2, 2020

5.0

Frustrating at first. But after I took a CE course, wonderful!

Pros

This software can spit out just about any piece of analytical data you want, in just about any format, and you can really customize the reports to work for you and your company.

Cons

There is a STEP learning curve with this product. I would highly recommend taking a course online on how to use it as some parts just don't make sense.

### "I know this is probably the best data reporting tool to use, I just don't know how to use it. "

November 20, 2020

3.0

Pros

You can plug in your data and google data studio will literally sort it and display it for you. this is great for easily and quickly reporting data without having to meticulously do everything manually.

Cons

It would be nice if Google put out like a small training course on how to use data studio if you're a newbie at it. Otherwise it's kind of really difficult to figure out.
