Overall Satisfaction with Google BigQuery
We use Google BigQuery to pull marketing data into a warehouse, run queries on the data to transform it into a more usable form, and then use the resulting tables as data sources for marketing reporting platforms. The problem it addresses is our need for a comprehensive data warehouse where we can store all our business and marketing data so that we can visualize and report on it later on.
- Inexpensive data storage.
- Relatively easy to use interface once you get used to it.
- Inexpensive query costs.
- Good number of native integrations.
- Difficult to use interface if you're not used to it.
- User management has proven confusing when trying to add new people to projects/accounts.
- There is no user support, which is a huge issue.
- Low cost for warehousing and running queries.
- Simple and reliable place to store data.
- Access to most SQL formulas, easy to use query interface.
- With Google BigQuery, we're able to report on data we didn't have access to with our old reporting.
- I've tried a few visualization/BI tools, but for our immediate needs (that are basic for now), the BQ warehouse with GDS as the visualization piece has been a good option.
