What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

No need to manage infrastructure; Google handles scaling, maintenance, and performance tuning automatically. Works well with other Google Cloud services (Cloud Storage, Dataflow, AI/ML tools) and external platforms like Looker, Tableau, and BigQuery ML for advanced analytics.Can process streaming data in real-time, making it ideal for use cases like fraud detection and live analytics. I don’t have to manage infrastructure, scaling, or indexing manually. It allows you to run SQL queries on massive datasets without worrying about performance tuning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

BigQuery follows a pay-per-query model, meaning costs can spike unexpectedly if queries are not optimized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Google Cloud BigQuery solves the challenge of processing and analyzing massive datasets efficiently without the need for complex infrastructure management. Traditional databases struggle with scalability and performance when handling terabytes or petabytes of data, but BigQuery’s serverless architecture allows businesses to run complex SQL queries in seconds. It eliminates the need for manual indexing and tuning, enabling seamless data analysis at scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Very fast processing, Computing power is very good. Even crores of records also it'll process in 5-10secs. Well Organised, UI is good. Even non techie can understand the things in no time. Scheduling queries creating views is super easy. We can even run AI/ML models in bigquery studio no need to explicitly build the models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Even if you have saved views name in your dataset and if you refresh the page because of network issues or any other issues it wont show your views names instead it'll show untitled query in studio. Then again you have go to your view path and have to open and edit it from your left side panel.

If we are working on small project then it is fine But when we're working on big projects where we have to open 10-15 views and edit it then that time it'll be hectic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As we have very big data of our company which is in crores. So to handle such big data we needed fast computing power which is solved by bigquery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Bigquery is one of that serverless warehouse where you don't have to thing about about compute, since it is managed by GCP, we as a engineers only needs to worry about how to store the data in BQ with effective partitioning and clustering strategy.

Bigquery as shifted the tradition from decoupled compute and storage ( spark + warehouse ) to a tightly coupled architecture which has drastically simplified the data platform architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

I believe costing needs to be controlled, I have seen couple of engineers firing an very expensive queries unknowingly which has significantly increase the billing.

I would recommend following changes:

1) There should be pop up kind of thing that we can implement which can warn the users ( on how many GB of data they are scanning along with its cost ).

2) Bigquery can also provide an optional features to the organisation where they can limit the data scan for their data users. ( lets say company decide to cap the data scan to 10 GB, none of the user should be able to query more than that )

3) With the help of AI, if BQ can provide recommendation based on the query patterns and the table structure, few ways in which they can optimise table scan would be really beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BQ is solving the problem of having compute and storage present at a common place. We are using the combination of DBT+ BQ to build our data platform. BQ is truly scalable product where we can store TB's of data without worrying about the underlying infrastructure, and this really makes Bigquery special.

We are also using Bigquery to create kind of data lake with the help of Biglake table in bigquery where we are using GCS for the storage and BQ infrastructure for querying it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

My company, Randstad, uses BigQuery as our data warehouse to store all our lead information and marketing metrics. It pulls numbers from various sources and then creates master data sources, which we use for the performance dashboards we present to internal stakeholders. More recently, we have been using Big Query to host our historical data from Google Analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

One of the things I dislike about BigQuery is that you need to be somewhat technical to use the product, it is confusing if you are not. A lot of people in my organization won't even go to the platform because it stresses them out. Also, if you don't know where the data is hosted it is hard to know where everything is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BigQuery is solving the problem of hosting all of our data in one central location so we have a source of truth when getting numbers for our reporting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
