Looker

What differentiates Looker from other similar products?

When views are already modeled, Looker aids in answering inquiries and encourages the organization to adhere to set metrics. The fact that Looker is a controlled setting is something I really appreciate. For instance, data analysts specify the formula for a particular measure inside the LookML code, which makes it simple for the business to use the same metrics.
