Google Data Studio Reviews

It is an inexpensive and at times seamless experience to automate reporting dashboards to help with insights and client reporting

It can be difficult to get multiple connectors to work correctly and there can often be issues with data as the dashboards get more complex, with it seemilntly being set up correctly but data being different to the source itself, e.g. GA4 data displaying inaccurate data

Being able to combine data from several tools, such as Google Search Console and Google Analytics, is super useful for analysing content performance.

The software is a massive pain in the bum to use. Sure you can connect your data sources. And you can get data from those sources onto a single page/dashboard. But there’s no guarantee it’ll accurately display the data and combine it correctly. I gave up using GDS because the combined data was always wrong and it was incredibly difficult to actually get it to combine the data in a useful way. I switched to a paid tool that does it soo much better and far more easily!

I liked the data management and dashboard features the mos as the provided the most value and they were both easy to use even for beginners.

The lack of proper costumer support, and the data management being quite hard to setup are the things I hated the most about this software.

Google Data Studio offers an great platform for data visualization and reporting. It seamlessly integrates with other Google tools and data sources (specially GA for us) , making it easy to create interactive and visually appealing reports.

While it's a powerful tool, the learning curve can be steep, especially for some staffmembers. Additionally, it lacks some advanced features that more specialized data visualization tools might offer. Longing for more AI tools to work with.

The ability to manipulate the multitude of data provided and present it to clients, customers, staff, and executives is unmatched. The reporting and analytical fields that are covered are second to none and we wouldn't survive as a business without Data Studio.

Getting new users set up takes longer than anticipated as well as once we've created our custom dashboards and custom reports, but that's all semantics at this rate.

Has best business intelligence and reporting features
It makes data visualization easy and is affordable too.

Not specific hurdles that I can mention. Google Data Studio is amazing.

Google Data Studio provides a great option for creating dashboards: basic and advanced data.Connection to wide range sources (Google Analytics / Google Analytics 360, Google Sheets etc).Easy to use.

From time to time its a bit slow.Complex connection of less widespread systems, and it is therefore necessary to either buy an external connector or deal with a backbreaking connection.

Having different services in one report is now easier with the new free Google Ads + Google Analytics report. Previously, users had to manually download and compile data into an xls report.
It's free

At times, I found the properties confusing and was receiving data from the test set. But that was at the beginning, now most of the reports just come to my email automatically

Google Data Studio is free and pretty easily connects to all of the Google platforms that we use when reporting to clients.

We had a few issues with the reports not loading properly when downloaded as a PDF (Blank pages when there should have been data) and the only solution that we have found is repeatedly downloading and/or waiting a few hours to try again.

Google Data Studio is an intuitive and powerful tool for data analysis and visualization. It is easy to use, even for those who are unfamiliar with data analysis. It allows you to quickly create beautiful and informative charts, diagrams, and maps to help you better understand your data.

One downside of Google Data Studio is that it can be quite complex and difficult to use for more advanced data analysis. It also lacks some features that are available in other data analysis tools.

The capabilities that it offers, and the different source of connections that allows you to create different types of reports.

It has some limitations in comparison to other tools such as Power BI but due to the cost is not bad.

Google Data Studio is very easy to use with BigQuery's connection : we can connect directly tables, views or custom query.

Before integration with looker, we were limited with left join between tables (no inner join and no right join)

Google Data Studio gives me great flexibility to analyse data , and the function to automate reports saves me a lot of time.

Sometimes it takes a lot of time to load the reports

It allows you to create good and complete reports for free, you can see real-time data, and when you connect it with other feeds you get a full overview. You can visualize, merge, and filter your data easily and quickly.

Learning how to properly use it can take a while when you are a beginner. Sometimes it can be a little slow for my needs.

Google Data Studio is a powerful and seamless integration with various data sources. It transforms complex data into visually reports and dashboards.

The only laid back thing in Google Data Studio is it's restricted data sources.

It is simple to use, cost-free, seamlessly integrated with all Google reporting and advertising tools, has third-party data connections for other platforms, is simple to set up and configure, and is simple to understand.

"But, stick with the readymade dashboards if you are not a data analyst or are not interested in statistics. The customizations and settings can seem a little overwhelming."Reporting is more laborious and time-consuming than it should be because it can be difficult to establish up connections to refresh data sources and import data often.The unfavourable aspect of Data Studio is how frequently I have to stop working to address the software crashes.There are a few things that are lacking, and there are a few glitches here and there.

I guess its layout: very intuitive and optimized to help the user find all the insights he/she needs.It allows marketers to organize dahsboard easily and monitor all KPIs in a very efficient way.

The fact that we needed to rely on an external partner for the initial set-up, and it wasn't something we were able to do on our own.We provided all the business requirements, of course, but we had to wait for its deployment.

I see that it is a tool that fulfills what it proposes to do, it allows very easy integrations, it is easy to manage and organize data, it allows the visualization of dashboards and the management of sharing is easy.

In terms of building dashboards, it could have more features that would allow customizing dashboards for a more visual build. I feel that there are still few resources for this front.

Google gives me the exact information what I'm looking for. This helpls me a lot.

Nothing bad in Google map I felt until now.

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

i feel the multiple data sources can be even more improved. also the search filters need to be made more effective and precise.

Google data studio is the best tool for dashboard making. It is also very good and can give very stunning information. So i liked this

The major issue is only working with online

Colourful graphs mixed with numbers and percentages can make a great data presentation. Also, you can use and transform the data in numerous ways.

Using data from different sources in this software has been quite a challenge.
