Very good at collating data and presenting with multiple graphs and layout. Best for daily reporting and checking stats.

It is excellent to have a variety of quantifiable metrics for our website. It helps us make business decisions about projects.

Would certainly recommend for it's value for money benefit.

There are many things about Data Studio I liked. I liked being able to make beautiful, fully customizable reports integrating data from multiple sources.

I love that is easy to use, it has great customization, and really easy share.

I loved the fact that there are templates for interactive web page dashboards that help shortcut visualizations and common display formats for data.

Ability to integrate with Big Query. Different charts that are available.

I like the interactive way you present the reports. An advantage of using Google products is that there is a large community that contributes with tutorials and experiences.

But once the reports are setup and all the metrics are tracking, the reports look beautiful and presenting results to a group or a team is a breeze.

It's a fast way to put together a visually appealing dashboard without a lot of the 'frills' of the bigger players like Power BI.

If you do not change the data sources when copying a report, if you change it later, the original report will also get affected which became a cause for embarrassment for us at one time.

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

There are still a number of functions which can be done in GA which are difficult or impossible in GDS.

Also, this tool have a perfect integration for reading data from Google Sheets.

I liked how this product was easy to use and navigate.

A great solution for non-essential dashboarding solutions.

Lack of metrics functionality and aggregations that you need to do from the query side. Also visual customization are really poor for graphs.

Can’t move files to Team Drives. Separation between data and visualization is confusing.

I really like it it is really easy to use and i love it and i dont really like how people try to use u for your money and try and scam you but other than that its really helpful.

It's relatively easy to use and helps effectively visualize data. All of our clients love the reports that we are able to put together for them.

Another cool thing is the range of features it offers to compete with all major players in the market but at such an impressive pricing.

The inability to leave comments is a bummer. Every other Google product you can leave comments and tag people.

But yes, Google Data Studio will deliver all info you need in a beautiful interface - don't worry. Good price, clear and light interface, access from any device.

Loved having the ability to add our data sources to create intelligent and aesthetically pleasing charts.

Being able to automate analysis because of the ubiquity of Google sheets connectors made this an incredible free option for a non profit organization.

It really is the poor man's business intelligence automation tool.

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

Very useful application, for what it is proposed. And its price is quite good for what it provides.

Google Data Studio has the ability to create your own visualization Community Visualization and ready-made reports can later be used as templates.

I also like the fact that one can creates his own visualisation. To have this level of customisation is quite impressive.

Ability to create custom reports from Google Analytics data. Ability to style/format reports as you wish - fonts/colours/graphics etc.

I really like it it is really easy to use and i love it.

Excellent Data Integration, affordable price model and high user friendly.

Ease of install I suppose; that and its ease of uploading reports into our EHR.

Other report designers will offer time saving features that are missing here.

Data integrator for successful projct implementation.

This is easy to use but hard to integrate ,use is limited in many cases and not for every application.

Really helps to solve complex business solutions with its cool features and like their contribution to open source.

Using this kind of software brings ease and accurate data reports that helps the company on decision making.

The bugs are usually not so easy to solve, and the errors shown sometimes don't give you a clue of what is wrong.

Very easy to learn, provides efficient report designing tool and integration with different datasource is too good.

Pentaho, a great open source BI suit with strong community support.

Very good tools for visualisation of data. Dashboards are very easy to develop.

Lack of detailed comments in error messages. It does not have documentation in Spanish language.

Higher visual interface to processes,  has a good number of functions (and very easy to understand)  for data reporting, integration, data mining and ETL. Very simple but effective Big data transform.

Fastest growth and improvement. Better dashboard capabilities.

We have many difficult to install in cloud. The layout of some report that run in developing, don't run in production.

Interface is not intuitive. If you want to solve the problem by yourself there is no much information how to do that even with a very small problems.

Features like data reporting, integration, data mining and ETL. Provides easy and good insights of business.

PDI Community Edition is amazing the rest is mud.

Great analytics and results are very useful. Provides good insight of the business.

If you are not at all familiar with writing script, this program can be very challenging. No real user manuals are included.

I love the out of the box visualization templates.

The tool allows the creation of complex ETL projects in a quick way and save time to produce valuable solution for the company.

It is definitely the solution to carry out all the projects successfully.

I was using both PDI(data integration) and PRD(report designer) tool for my internal project. Totally enjoyed and satisfied with my experience.

Personally I think it is a very powerful tool, powerful, very robust and also free.

Best Pricing tier in industry, excellent Data Integration across the database nodes and high consistency in service.

A very well designed platform, of great cost benefit, as well as the integration and reports, even better than when we analyze the costs.

Data Integration allows the build of such a complex ETL projects in a quick way, it's very powerful. Being an open source software allows the user to always find hints over the web.

Pentaho allows for great flexibility in report writing. It provides access to data tables with limited restrictions.
