Google data studio

Google data studio is a free business intelligence solution made by Google. They have some native connectors to databases such as Postgres or BigQuery, but when it comes to having connectors to SAAS platform such as Salesforce, Hubspot, or Amplitude, you often time need to go through a third party like Supermetrics that will add up to your bill. Overall you can easily create & customize dashboards even though you might suffer from response time because you Google won't optimize queries for you. You will also suffer from lack of self service whenever a user will want to ask a new question, they will have to start a dashboard from scratch.
