We use it for internal Business Intelligence use. I love that it requires no additional software, and can connect easily to our MySQL tables. > > **Cons**: As it's a relitively new product, there is some bugs. For example, sometimes I struggled to edit the title card and had to refresh the page to get it to load. Also, sometimes the graph creation seems a bit counter-intuitive, when compared to other similar platforms. > > We use a google ecosystem so it fits ridicuolusly easy into our workflow. It's cheap to set up, loading times are fast, and the options for creation and customisation of dashboards seem decent. I've only been using it a few months, but so far it does everything I want from such a platform. Considering how expensive competetive software can be, it's great\! ----- ### "Data studio, a must for marketing entrepreneurs and small businesses" — 4.0/5 > **Roger** | *26 December 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is very helpful when it comes to give proof to my clients it is very useful. I like the possibility to give them data visualization at real time > > **Cons**: Leaning is not too easy, it takes time and there is no enough templates to start and understand how to use the tool Also the live option to share would be great to be more accessible > > I must say thay it us very useful and I love discover it, because other tools are quite expensive. I love using it and I recommend to my colleagues ----- ### "Simple tool for building and sharing dashboards" — 4.0/5 > **Victor** | *11 March 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to build dashboards and visualize data. The interface is simple and you can connect many different data sources like Google Analytics or spreadsheets. It is very useful to share reports with a team and keep everyone aligned on the same data. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the performance can be slow when working with large datasets. Some advanced data transformations are also limited compared to more technical tools. It can require some workarounds depending on the data source. > > Overall I had a good experience using Google Data Studio. It is a great tool for creating dashboards and sharing insights with a team. It is easy to learn and works well for regular reporting and simple analytics. ----- ### "Amazing SEM reporting tool at no cost" — 5.0/5 > **Erin** | *16 April 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that you can easily create customised, interactive and professional looking reports for clients at no cost\! I know that perhaps at some stage I may have to page storage costs, but I went from paying almost $99 for a third-party platform to help me create client reports for SEM and SEO, to paying nothing with Google Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) -- creating reports that can show the same thing. > > **Cons**: It was perhaps a little bit tricky to figure out some functions initially, but a bit of Googling and exploring was all it took to remedy. ----- ### "Google Data Studio -" — 4.0/5 > **Willem** | *25 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Google Data Studio is easy to use with a lot of supporting documents. There is alot of self-paced learning, loads on youtubeb.. > > **Cons**: etl is not great compared to the others. It tends to expect the data to be near perfect. easy to fix but not as easy as some others > > Great for the team. They learnt this easily. The results were what we expected in a very short time. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/190616/data-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/190616/data-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
