Overall Satisfaction with Google BigQuery
In our organization, Google BigQuery is for storing very large data which is created within seconds. We log each and every event done by any user. We also log data like payment status, order status, and user address details. Basically, all of the information is logged. To sort through it we are using BigQuery as it is fast and provides data to us within miliseconds.
- It is faster than the product we use for our websites, MySQL.
- Can query millions of rows within seconds and can give you the data very fast.
- Documentation should be detailed. I had a very hard time learning it. My seniors are also facing so many hurdles while using this.
- No proper flow is mentioned in the docs about how to use this product. We faced so many errors at different stages.
- ROI is very small although it's positive. Still, I am not happy with this product as it took five to six days to understand the flow of the product and how to implement it into our project, whereas other database systems would have taken one to two days.
