Outstanding Cloud Analytical Data Warehouse!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google BigQuery from other similar products?

Excellent cloud analytics data warehouse with outstanding query performance. It ended up being cheaper for all of the user queries than we thought it would be. We are still working to optimize data ingestion and transformation as we transferred everything directly from our old Cloudera Hadoop platform.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Performance is amazing and you do not have to worry about scaling servers or storage.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Data ingestion and transformation into BigQuery can be somewhat costly so beware that you will want to optimize as much as possible to save money.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Find a great implementation partner who has implemented BigQuery several times in the past so that you can partner with them. Beware of data ingestion and data transformation costs because those can add up quickly, but we found that BigQuery query costs were much lower than we forecasted.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
