"BigQuery a faster data access utility for bigger projects"
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigTable?

Supports high volume of data from multiple sources and lots of connectors available.

SQL query can be used to query the data which is easy to learn.

Preview feature is very good.

It has great capabilities to connect with data studio and even export the data in google sheets which can also be put in real time sync.

Good user interface and serverless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigTable?

Quite expensive if not managed well.

BigQuery sandbox doesnt provide all features to practice on public datasets.

Missing some filters and some sql queries does not work with big query.

Laggy UI, takes time to switch from one project to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BigTable has made our life a lot simpler than before, when we had to maintain yet another DB - HBase"
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigTable?

It's a managed service of BigData DB by Google with great SLAs. Now we don't need to manage yet another DB (HBase) on our own. It's a managed service of BigData DB by Google with great SLAs. Now we don't need to manage yet another DB (HBase) on our own.

Earlier whenever we used to launch a new growth campaign, we used to first do a lot of work to upscale our systems for the upcoming growth but with the advent of BigTable, it has given us the capability for scaling in a jiffy. And we are very happy with its uptime/low latencies, overall extremely good performance.

Another good thing is the service that we get from the BigTable support team. It is quite good and fast. If at all there are any issues/downtime, a support engineer is always readily available to help us out and the issue is resolved in a swift manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigTable?

In my experience so far, I haven't had much of a problem in dealing with BigTable till now. Pretty satisfied as of now. Things are pretty stable and smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool to bring SQL and ML together"
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigTable?

The ability to combine both SQL and machine Learning in one tool has not been made possible previously. In addition it is possible to actually store data in a horizontal way without directly making relationships between tables. This makes it very easy to actually find data and because storage is relatively cheap as well, it is also possible to store a large amount of tables without comprising performance and/or storage costs. Data duplication has been a problem in the past (which is why we normalized most of the tables before). Working with a database as a service which does not have this limitation makes it very easy to actually store data (even when not normalizing the data up front). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigTable?

Currently - compatibility with other systems is limited. With the introduction of Anthos this will become possible.The only thing you should take in to account is that you mainly pay for the calculations done on the tables you make. If the table is huge ór if you have a user that does a relatively cost-ineffective query, the costs can go up pretty quickly. Mainly when using large data sets this can be a problem.

"Best NoSQL Database as a Service - Scale with ease - Minimal effort"
What do you like best about Google Cloud BigTable?

It's super-fast, scales easily and there is no compromise on any aspect. The cost is reasonable relative to other vendors. Alignment with BigQuery provides differentiated service from others. It has great geospatial extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Google Cloud BigTable?

BigTable provides consistency for single-row updates but does not guarantee the same for multi-row updates or cross-table updates. Applications need to manage any consistency requirements across rows or tables themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
