"BigQueryML Makes Data Science Fast and Effortless"
4/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

i am using GCP as main cloud platform, along with Azure, and BigQuery is my favorite data warehousing tool and also for model development. i like it because its fast and stable, and also its scalability is great as compare to other cloud. its been more than 2 years , and still using it for handling huge datasets so easily. and i just love the integration of BigQueryML , i mean its amazing i can build and train simple ML models directly using SQL. it helps me a lot when i want to test quick predictions or run feature analysis without moving data to another platform, i have connected it with Vertex AI and looker and Tableau. to make end to end pipelines. and it really easy to use.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

i dont have any complaint about performance issue, but yeah its lil bit costly, if i run multiple experiments or large queries, it can get expensive fast,. but its okay because i am getting fast and large scale ML workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Scripting and Smooth BigQuery Integration for Interactive Dashboards"
5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

It works similarly to other databases, and it also supports scripting in multiple languages such as shell scripts, SQL, and JavaScript. We used it to build interactive vulnerability data dashboards in Google Looker Studio by extracting data from Axonius into BigQuery and then using BigQuery as the data source.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery?

We’ve scheduled multiple SQL jobs, and when they failed during the daily runs, we wanted to send an email notification. However, we weren’t able to configure the email setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Data Management with Advanced SQL Capabilities"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigQuery?

I really like Google Cloud BigQuery's interface; it’s very neat and everything looks like it's in one place. I can easily switch between BigQuery, Vertex AI, and other tools I need, making transitions smooth and finding whatever I'm looking for pretty easy. It's very convenient. I also appreciate the advanced SQL features it offers compared to standard SQL. It makes some tasks easier, and I find the estimation of query costs really helpful as it allows me to optimize my queries before running them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
