Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were able to secure a 40% discount on the platform for Looker and a 20% discount on licensing by bringing in competitive bids. After leadership reviewed lower pricing from alternative vendors, they were adamant that the renewal needed to come down closer to that price point. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were first able to negotiate the mix of licenses from $89,784 down to $79,400 down to $74,760 as the best and final for single year terms. The top levers included budget constraints and competition as a driving force in reviews on pricing to bring the renewal lift down and support the reduction in license pricing. 40% discount on the platform and 20%+ on licensing."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were able to secure a 15% discount on this single year renewal. The top levers included budget constraints and competition as a driving force in reviews on pricing to bring the renewal lift down and support the reduction in license pricing. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis month
"We were able to secure a 40% discount on the Looker platform and 20% on each license type. Start with an anchor lower than 20% for license to support further discounting. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"Looker will attach at minimum a 3% lift, even with slight increase in usage for single year renewals. Beware of this increase and use growth and/or multi year terms to bring this down to flat or a discount. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"To run Looker efficiently, data must be pulled from one source. This can be a time consuming and expensive project upfront if your data is currently in multiple sources."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We were able to get net 30 quarterly payment terms upon renewal without any pushback."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter
"We were able to obtain a flat renewal, avoiding the mandatory 5% uplift year over year from Looker. In working with Looker in revised user counts, a discount in users was going to drive the price up. If we were to increase or build in growth, we could have gotten better pricing, but in the case where we were looking to decrease users, it made more sense to keep what we currently have as we do expect the numbers to fluctuate throughout the contract term."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis quarter

"After multiple rounds of negotiation we were able to secure 18% in savings by citing budget constraints and quick movement. We were also able to secure 5% uplift cap language in the terms of the contract which was a win in protecting the future renewals. Looker communicated that discounts are the same for single year and two year contracts. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"After multiple rounds of negotiations and remaining firm with budget constraints, even pulling in leadership for direct communication around budget, we were able to correct the scope and have it updated to reflect the team's needs. We were thrilled to secure the 5% renewal lift being waived due to growth of contract. Looker was hesitant to fill out the security questionnaire but we were able to get the needed information to allow for security approval. This did take a good bit of back and forth so be prepared for extra time if a questionnaire is included in the process. "Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Looker had a change in reps for our account, and therefore our renewal ended up slipping through the cracks. Because of this, they offered us a flat renewal immediately and extended our service to work through the renewal since we had passed the renewal date."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Looker is implementing a 5% increase in cost year over year. That said, if you increase users or do a multi year term, they will remove the uplift."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year

"Was able to leverage a 24 month term for a flat renewal despite no growth of scope to keep previous discounts in place."Company with 201-1000 employeesThis year
"Looker doesn't discount on users cumulatively over time, but rather by volume at the time of purchase. So if we expecting continued YoY growth, the way to get better user pricing would be to renew for two (or more) years, and ramp in the additional users we would need in year two. Looker would give pricing based on that greater volume of users, rather than buying a smaller volume now, and then doing the same thing again next year. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago

"We tried to negotiate, however, we were days before the renewal and Looker offered us a flat renewal rate. There wasn't much negotiating that could happen on our end. Engage with Looker at least a month out to get best results. "Company with 201-1000 employeesA while ago
