Find out in this report how the two Embedded BI solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's quite effortless to navigate through various applications and review their updated data in real-time."
"The stability of Looker has been good since I have been using it. However, it depends on what components are being used."
"Looker allows you to generate the most optimal SQL queries in a DC through UI actions. We had signed a contract with Google Cloud to use BigQuery. That was the primary reason we adopted Looker. It works better with BigQuery than any other BI platform. We also like how this tool was developed. It was designed with an eye toward microservices architecture."
"The product is easy to use."
"From a developer's perspective, the way the functionality's being handled is great."
"It is a pretty stable solution because it is a cloud-based product."
"We can centralize all our data models."

"I give the stability of the solution a nine out of ten."
"The feature that I like most is the drag and drop capability."
"The growth time is the most valuable feature of TIBCO Jaspersoft."
"You can do quite a lot with it in terms of automated reports and dashboards."
"We find the access restrictions on different user groups valuable."
"The solution is standalone with the flexibility to use visualize.js to embed within the application."
"With the online view, it's easier to create Ad Hoc reports. It has inbuilt reports so we can easily get data from the system and customize the fields."
"The visualization capability of the product is limited."
"The main area of concern in Looker is probably related to blending the data from the different sources, including the data present internally in the company and on the cloud."
"Looker doesn't connect to Excel, which is a huge disappointment because a lot of data is presented in Excel. Also, it can't consume data directly from REST APIs, which is necessary. Looker needs to expand its horizons when it comes to data sources. The inability to connect to different data sources is hampering our use cases. Currently, it only has an ODBC connection that connects to a database. It needs to connect to other data sources, such as Excel, APIs, and different platforms."
"Integrations with other BI tools could be better."
"The product does not have documented material."
"The integration with different databases must be improved."
"It needs to be more user-friendly."
"Stability needs improvement."
"Customization is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement."
"The upgrades are not easy."
"I would like to see some analysis done prior to data extraction. The data extraction itself could also be improved."
"TIBCO Jaspersoft would benefit from enabling you to run multiple reports in one file and incorporating more options related to multiple reports."
"The Ad Hoc Report Writer does not include as many features as Tableau and needs to be improved to meet expectations."
"We'd like to see the community version offer a little bit more support and better documentation and we'd like the enterprise edition to have better pricing."
"A better focus should be put on self-service reporting."
"The reporting templates have room for improvement."
