GBQ takes tasks like partitioning, building feeds from/to other systems simple, fine-grain access controls, plugs into Looker like a dream, built in connectors for other Google products (Search console, GA) > > **Cons**: The permission-ing for GBQ can sometimes be vague depending on what the user is needing/wanting to do. Some roles require items that you think would be included in higher access level roles (I'm looking at you BigQuery Job User role). > > GBQ powers a lot of our analysis tooling and reps use it directly with Python to make their own custom flows. ----- ### "BigQuery is Great for Lots of Data" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *May 17, 2023* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: BigQuery is great at working with lots of data at a good price, especially when used with other Google Cloud tools > > **Cons**: It can get messy when you're working with many different data sets at once, and changing existing data columns is hard. > > Using BigQuery was a learning curve, it's great for analyzing data but not like my favorite relational database, Postgres, for everyday tasks. ----- ### "BigQuery for a Data Engineer" — 5.0/5 > **Luis** | *September 27, 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For someone like me who works on the complete cycle of the data, it turns out to be a very good tool, since it allows us to do the complete cycle, from the initial step that is to put together a good ETL, clean our data, and be able to present it in a dashboard > > **Cons**: once the table is created it is difficult to edit the columns, so you have to delete it when you use the data stream, your data is in a cache, and you can't manipulate it until a couple of hours have passed > > for 3 months our mobile applications stopped saving certain data, thanks to its integration with firebase, we were able to recover that data by querying its partitioned tables, and we were able to restore that data with its integration with python We have also built a dashboard where we make a conciliation of our clients' data, in case something goes wrong, we immediately realize what is happening ----- ### "Superb, Scalable Technology" — 5.0/5 > **John** | *June 8, 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: BigQuery is powerful, easy to set up and use, and wonderfully transparent about costs. I also prefer its mechanisms for dataset partitioning over, e.g., Snowflake's. > > **Cons**: The BigQuery UI is not great. Saved queries are messy, and scheduled queries are very difficult to maintain (to the point that they probably should not be used at all). > > I really love BigQuery especially insofar as it fits within a GCP environment. It is incredibly powerful and, given some governance, not very expensive at all. I find it cheaper and slightly easier to manage than Snowflake, though both products are incredible to use. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057619/google-cloud-bigquery?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2057619/google-cloud-bigquery) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
