Overall Satisfaction with Google BigQuery

My company, Randstad, uses BigQuery as our data warehouse to store all our lead information and marketing metrics. It pulls numbers from various sources and then creates master data sources, which we use for the performance dashboards we present to internal stakeholders. More recently, we have been using Big Query to host our historical data from Google Analytics.
  • Good place to store historical data.
  • It has free connectors to other Google platforms like Looker, which makes it easy to use as a data source.
  • User interface is easy to navigate.
  • Hard to find data if you don't know where everything is hosted.
  • If you have to upload excel files it takes so long.
  • If you aren't a technical users you likely won't know how to use BigQuery effectively.
  • Has provided an easier to way to automate our performance reporting.
  • Saved a lot of time storing our historical data so everybody knows where to access old numbers.
  • It is inexpensive for data storage.
I've used Domo while working for an advertising agency and the functionality was way worse and the user interface was not near as good.

Would you buy Google BigQuery again?

Yes

BigQuery has been a great product for getting information from many different sources. We can use BigQuery to connect/join other sources together and find ways to match the data together to have a master data source. There have been times when we have used it, though, when I do not think it was needed and it was probably more of a headache.
