"No code Data transfer for enterprise agility"
What do you like best about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

Anyone can use it! You also have many data sources available; if you can't find yours, there are more on the GCP marketplace, just a click away.

You also get all the tools to achieve secure data transfer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

Once you transfer, it is very difficult to forecast the price of the data due to the serverless nature of bigquery. You should also be aware of the table formats available in bigquery to avoid transfer errors Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GCP-AWS data transfer made easy"
What do you like best about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

We use the service to transfer data from Bigquery which aggregates the Google Analytics data, to AWS S3, the data store layer for our enterprise data platform.

The BQ command line tool makes it easy to set up and helps to make seamless data transfer between Google cloud storage and S3

The performance of data transfer is very good compared to manually downloading the file local and then upload to S3 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

There is some manual effort in setting up the authentication using the credential file during the initial setup, but the operation is seamless once it is up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Enjoyable interface for analytics and interim data transformation work."
What do you like best about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

Bigquery is easy to set up and connect to data sources using Fivetran. Exploring data is intuitive, queries (SQL-like) are easy to learn and familiar. There are some innovative features, like automatically nesting tables (which is very interesting and not typical in a traditional database). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google BigQuery Data Transfer Service?

If data sources (from DBT, for example) update, there is no option to reload data in Bigquery without refreshing the whole page, which is heavy and takes a moment to load.

Working in a schema with 18 tables, I quickly have a ton of tabs open, and the interface is not super for navigating so many tabs at the same time, at least not on a laptop screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
