Overall Satisfaction with Google BigQuery

We have UI survey reporting database in Google BigQuery.
It is meant to give insights of how the users or sales people like the user experience.
We recieve files which finally gets loaded in gcp env.
Querying tables In Google BigQuery gives fast insights with comparatively less time than other cloud dbs.

Pros

  • Compatibility with traditional ETL tools
  • Time travel
  • Columnar storage
  • An intuitive UI

Cons

  • Not very Easy Integration with spark
  • Data lineage tool kind feature is not there
  • Orchestration can be better
  • We got faster survey insights
  • Our sales folks and users got better ui.
  • For us it is to scale if the data size increases
  • Though we have not used the data sharing capabilities but can use in future
Google BigQuery is simpler and I say it has simpler UI too.
If you have a clear long term ask , mainly business intelligence needs then Google BigQuery offers you good.
If you need too much of features under a single cloud and you are ok to be lil clumsy then you can check others too

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

Yes

Are you happy with Google BigQuery's feature set?

No

Did Google BigQuery live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Google BigQuery go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Google BigQuery again?

Yes

I feel like Choosing it when we have Streaming data with pub sub playing a big role.
Though streaming analytics can be a lil.challenging when you have real time insights needed fast.

Much suited for micro batches or batch data.
You can create a big data warehouse store history.
Batch is where I would prefer
