"Bigquery is a reliable tool for analytics and handling large data."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

The best thing about Google Cloud BigQuery is its speed in handling large datasets. It processes queries very fast and integrates well with tools like Power BI and Google Data Studio. The main upside is that I don’t need heavy infrastructure, and still I can easily analyze and manage big data for my MBA projects and analytics work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Sometimes the pricing can be a little confusing because it charges based on the amount of data processed. Also, for someone new, the learning curve feels a bit tough in the beginning. Apart from that, I don’t find major issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transforms Data Analysis with Impressive Speed"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

I like the structured and organized way Google Cloud BigQuery deals with data. The quickness with which it handles and analyzes data is another favorite aspect of mine. It really reduces costs for the organization because it quickly processes data, and since it's well-organized, it makes navigating the required data much easier and saves time. The initial setup was pretty easy too, as the infrastructure and everything else is automatically taken care of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

I don't dislike anything about it at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BigQuery makes large scale data analysis ridiculously easy"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

I love the speed and scalability of BigQuery. As someone working on analytics dashboards and automation tools, it’s incredibly efficient to query large datasets directly from GCP without needing complex ETL pipelines. Integration with Looker Studio and Google Sheets is seamless. We can run massive queries in seconds, which would take minutes or hours on traditional DBs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

The pricing can be unpredictable at times, especially with large or unoptimized queries. Also, the UI, while powerful, could be more intuitive for non-technical users. I’d like more guidance or alerts before hitting high costs during query runs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Takes getting used to"
0/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

Google Cloud Bigquery has a plethora of features allowing it to integrate with various other google products, managing servers, other internal management applications.

Additionally, there are tutorials available which I delve into for more advanced functions and integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

It is often difficult to navigate the interface, especially if there is a greater amount of content coming in to manage. Consequently, the invoicing and the pricing to manage this content increases which can become overwhelming and difficult to track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Data Management and Seamless Integrations in BigQuery"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

The management interface in BigQuery is very convenient — it’s easy to query tables, locate datasets, access query history and rerun past queries, and the product integrates seamlessly with many other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

- It is very hard to predict the costs- this tool is collaborative and many people in the organization have access-users may run heavy JOINs or use SELECT *, which significantly increases the amount of data scanned

-There were several use cases that required millisecond-level response times, and BigQuery is less suitable for those scenarios.

-Although I really like the interface, it’s very difficult to manage the data at a high level , for example, handling schema versioning is quite challenging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
