Overall Satisfaction with Google BigQuery

We store all kinds of data accross marketing to product on Google BigQuery. Every single employee has access to these data by themselves, and could simply conduct easy queries to find the data they need. In my case, I'm using many Google SEM table data as well as Bing tables, without other's help I can always direct myself to find the data in need.

Pros

  • Easy navigation
  • Quick access to big amount of data
  • Quick processing time

Cons

  • If one stores too much data, everything costs
  • Would be nice to be able to download more rows of data for analysis purpose
  • Can add some tutorial of easy sql functions
  • We calculate ROI base on the data here
  • We need to decrease the data we store to do cost saving
  • We rely on the explore data functionality to do analysis
It's easier to connect data between BigQuery and Looker Studio instead of connecting the data between BigQuery and Tableau in terms of data explore or dashboard creating. Therefore we are considering migrating dashboards from Tableau to Looker Studio for the whole company.
On the other hand it might be a more cost efficient method.

Do you think Google BigQuery delivers good value for the price?

Did Google BigQuery live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Google BigQuery go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google BigQuery again?

Yes

It's where you find most of the data we're using in the company, by learning some easy queries and look into the table you're using daily, it can be powerful and you won't need to rely on data team too much. However, it can be also overwelming sometimes, if the data you need are from multiple tables, which a very long and complicated query needs to be written, then you might need someone else who's good in writing queries.
