One of the drawbacks of Looker Studio is its limited capability to handle large datasets efficiently. When working with extensive data, the platform tends to slow down, which negatively affects productivity during crucial hours. As a performance marketer, I frequently need to work with substantial amounts of data, and this performance limitation significantly impacts my workflow.

However, it is worth noting that if you have complex data models or require advanced analytics, you may want to test Looker's capabilities with your specific data.
