The version control and pull request design is exactly why I've selected Looker. LookML enables the power of the explore functionality as well.
Looker's visualizations, however, are very weak when compared to the competition. It's been their weakness for years now, and they've really failed to address it.
One aspect of Looker that I've also generally enjoyed is their on-boarding and support processes. They do a superb job at this and I feel like they should be a model for startups selling into B2B.
- georgewfraser 8y agoI agree that their viz is weak. I comfort myself by saying that this is the easy part and they'll surely fix it eventually...still waiting after two years.
- groj 8y agoI think the community can have a big impact here, there are so many libraries that make it easy to add custom visuals. Specifically, vega is incredible https://vega.github.io/ https://vega.github.io/ and there is a port for Looker https://github.com/groodlooker/vega-lite https://github.com/groodlooker/vega-lite
