What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Honestly, what I love most about BigQuery is how easy it makes working with huge amounts of data. It's part my of may daily work. You know, like, really huge. It's like having this super-powerful engine that you don't have to worry about maintaining. You just throw your data in, and it just... works.

I think the biggest thing is that I don't have to deal with servers. No more worrying about setting things up, scaling, or any of that. It's just there, ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

The biggest thing that can get you is the cost. If you're not careful, those queries, especially the complex ones on huge datasets, can really add up. You've got to be smart about optimising them, or you'll get a surprise bill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud BigQuery solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigQuery lets me access and analyze huge datasets quickly and efficiently, which is a massive time-saver and lets me make better informed decisions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

BigQuery has been a reliable tool for marketing data integration. It's serverless, so it's easy to scale and let's us focus on other things rather than maintenance overall.

It's fast, so big querys that requires a lot of data takes just a few seconds to get the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

While BigQuery is an awesome tool, there are a few things that can be a bit frustrating.

Costs can add up quickly if you’re not careful. You need to focus on optimization and spend time setting up tables propperly.

Another thing is that the learning curve requires time if you’re not familiar with SQL, getting started can feel overwhelming (a lot of traditional SQL techniques does not work on BigQuery, and some capabilities in BigQuery are not industry standards) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud BigQuery solving and how is that benefiting you?

BigQuery is solving some problems we face in digital marketing like data integration and specially data analysis.

One of the biggest problems it solves is handling big files or rows of data from various sources like Google Analytics, Google Ads, CRM platforms, etc. We usually dealt with google sheets files for some marketing dashboards in the past, even traditional SQL tables, and the performance wasn't great and the dashboards wheren't stable.

BigQuery fixed that.

Another key benefit is centralized data storage and analysis. Before BigQuery, data was scattered across multiple platforms (even excel files), making it hard to get a complete picture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

The way Google Cloud Big Query has evolved from it's inception is really comendable. So there are very less dislikes at the moment.

SQL Support could be further enhanced and integrations with different platforms via APIs can be added Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Google Cloud BigQuery solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is by far the easiest Data Warehouse available in the market. the Big Data Analytics in Big Query is pretty easy and someone who is a beginer can easily pick this up. For me it is helping to store the Ecommerce Data into the Data Warehouse and then perform various analysis on that data and present it to business for further actions. Using this on a daily basis for a few years now, I can say this is by far the best cloud based data warehouse among others like Redhsift, Azure .

What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Misunderstanding of how queries are billed can lead to unexpected costs and requires careful optimization and awareness of best practices and while basic quering is simple, features like partitioning, clustering, and BigQuery ML reequire some learning and users heavily reliant on UI might find some limitations compared to standalone SQL clientsof third-party tools.

What problems is Google Cloud BigQuery solving and how is that benefiting you?

To solve a sales performance in real time as for data ingestion in stream transaction data from POS systems to BigQuery using Pub/Sub and for data transformation we use dataflow to clean and normalize incoming data and mainly for analysis to run SQL queries in BigQuery to calculate metrics like revenue, top selling products, and sales trendas and finally to create a dashboard in Google Data Studio to show real time KPIs.
