Few days back, I talked about Google Data Studio, Google’s answer for reporting tool for their Google Cloud users. We talked about its simplicity and the way it integrates with its clouds seamlessly.

Today in this story I am going to compare the Titan of this visualization reporting industry — Tableau and the Google Data Studio.

So lets jump into it!

Tableau vs Google Data Studio (Credits: eduCBA)

Google Data Studio

One of the best feature I like about Google Data Studio is that multiple people can work on the same data visualization. Data Studio allows more than one team member to work simultaneously to create and edit data visualization, which promotes collaboration.

Since its a Google product , it integrates so well with other services of google such as Google Sheets, Big Query etc. But but… Data Studio has limited connections to external apps

Learning Curve for Google Data Studio

Google Data Studio only has a small video series on how to get started and a documentation page that gives a brief overview of the product. There are also multiple third-party companies that offer online and/or in-person training sessions, majority of those cost money.
