Looker vs Microsoft Power BI: Which is best for you?

Within 3 clicks I can connect a big query script to a looker dashboard and begin working on creating clear and coherent visuals on the back of the data.

Another con however is a standard across modern cloud platforms is the reliablity on a third party provider. When there are outages on google this renders looker useless until this is fixed.

Power BI provides good value with easy-to-use dashboards, rapid deployment, and a clean UI that enables our editors to view submission patterns, reviewer response time, and publication schedules with little training investment.

The customizability of the charts isn't as rich as in Excel or Tableau, and you need to understand how to model the data if you're dealing with multiple datasets and build relationships between them accordingly.
