Looker Studio Pro – Product

Enterprise-Grade Self-Service BI & Collaboration

Looker Studio Pro elevates the flexible self-service capabilities of the standard Looker Studio by adding essential enterprise management features. It introduces Team Workspaces for collaborative asset ownership, Google Cloud project linking for robust governance, and dedicated support SLAs. This solution empowers teams to generate insights rapidly while ensuring data security and organizational continuity.

Enterprise-Grade Self-Service BI & Collaboration

Team Workspaces

Team Workspaces solve the challenge of individual asset ownership. Reports and data sources belong to the team, not a specific user, ensuring that content remains accessible and managed even if an employee leaves the organization.

Google Cloud Governance

By linking Looker Studio Pro to a Google Cloud Project, organizations gain centralized control over assets. This enables the management of permissions through Identity and Access Management (IAM) and ensures compliance with corporate data policies.

Mobile App Access

Users can access their data anywhere with the Looker Studio mobile app. It allows for the monitoring of key metrics and reports on the go, ensuring that decision-makers stay connected to their business performance at all times.

SLA & Support

Looker Studio Pro includes a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for report serving and editing, providing the reliability enterprises require. Additionally, it grants access to Google Cloud Customer Care for technical troubleshooting.

See what features Looker Studio Pro offers:

Collaboration at Scale

Collaboration is seamless with Team Workspaces. Unlike the standard version where files are tied to individual drives, Looker Studio Pro allows multiple users to manage and edit content within a shared environment. This structure supports granular roles – Manager, Content Manager, and Contributor – allowing for precise control over who can edit reports or simply view data.

Team Workspaces

Centralize content ownership. Reports and data sources are stored in a shared space, preventing data loss when personnel changes occur.

Role-Based Access

Manage permissions with precision. Assign specific roles such as Manager, Content Manager, or Contributor to control editing and viewing rights.

Shared Folders

Organize assets efficiently. Use structured folders within Team Workspaces to keep reports and data sources logical and accessible for the whole team.

Automated Personal Reports

Looker Studio Pro enhances report delivery with automated personal report links. When scheduling email delivery, the system can send a version of the report that is filtered specifically for the recipient’s data view. This ensures that stakeholders receive only the relevant insights without needing to manually adjust filters every time.

Smart Filtering

Configure reports to automatically filter data based on the recipient. One dashboard can serve unique insights to unlimited stakeholders.

Scheduled Delivery

Automate the distribution of insights. Stakeholders receive critical updates directly in their inbox, formatted specifically for their needs.

Efficiency & Scale

Eliminate the need for duplicate reports. Maintain a single master template while serving personalized views to different departments or regions.

Governance & Lineage

Integration with Dataplex offers visibility into data lineage, helping teams understand how data flows into their reports. Furthermore, the linkage to Google Cloud Projects ensures that all assets are governed under organization-wide policies, making Looker Studio Pro a compliant choice for regulated industries.

Google Cloud Linking

Secure your environment. Link Looker Studio Pro to a Google Cloud Project to enforce enterprise IAM policies and centralize billing.

Dataplex Lineage

Gain visibility into data flow. Automatically track how data moves from BigQuery to your reports to ensure accuracy and auditability.

Organization Policies

Enforce compliance standards. Administrators can restrict external sharing and manage asset locations to meet corporate data governance requirements.
