The analytics challenge
facing SaaS companies.

Many SaaS companies evaluate analytics platforms for external customer use, but general-purpose BI platforms like Looker are designed for internal use.

A common evaluation mistake is assuming capabilities available for internal deployments will transfer to customers in a multi-tenant deployment.

Looker works well for internal enterprise BI.
Qrvey is built specifically for SaaS.

Looker works well for internal enterprise BI when a high-performance analytic data store has already been established. Looker is not designed for multi-tenant self-service embedded analytics. Qrvey is the embedded analytics platform designed specifically for SaaS companies. Let's take a deeper look.

Self-service
Looker
Looker embeds are limited to pre-built components, allowing tenants to interact with embedded dashboards through actions like filtering or drilling down. SaaS organizations cannot embed a dashboard builder and cannot provide a self-service customization experience for tenants.
Qrvey
Qrvey lets tenants create their own datasets, visualizations, and dashboards — with both embedded dashboards and embedded dashboard builders. Self-service customization is native, not a workaround.
Data management
Looker
Looker offers a semantic layer with LookML but does not provide ETL, data transformation, or a data engine. Organizations must invest in a high-performance database and extra software and expertise to handle complex ETL and data pipeline processes. Looker also lacks direct support for multi-tenancy — there is no official documentation on how to set Looker up in a multi-tenant environment.
Qrvey
Qrvey is a complete platform with multi-tenant security at its core, plus ETL, data transformation, and a powerful data engine. Comprehensive documentation, tutorials, and support for multi-tenant setup come standard.
Deployment
Looker
Deploying Looker outside of Google Cloud is possible, but technically challenging. SaaS organizations face substantial hurdles around manual setup, maintenance overhead, performance optimizations, and licensing costs.
Qrvey
Qrvey deploys into your cloud of choice with a fully containerized Kubernetes architecture. Built for SaaS companies with a multi-cloud strategy.
Embedding
Looker
Embedding in Looker is only possible using iFrames. iFrame embedding is not favored by developers — it has limitations in security, customization, performance, responsiveness, and browser compatibility.
Qrvey
Every element and function of the Qrvey platform embeds directly into your SaaS application with JavaScript widgets, components, and comprehensive APIs. Powerful, secure analytics experiences your tenants actually want to use.
— The bottom line —

Looker falls short of meeting the unique requirements of SaaS companies who want to offer self-service analytics to their customers.
