We performed a comparison between BigQuery and SAP Business Warehouse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."BigQuery can be used for any type of company. It has the capability of building applications and storing data. It can be used for OLTP or OLAP. It has many other products within the Google space."
"I like that we can synch and run a large query. I also like that we can work with a large amount of data. You don't need to work separately, as it's a ready-made solution. It also comes with a built-in machine-learning feature. Once we start inputting the data, it will suggest some things related to the data, and we can come up with nice dashboards and statistics from a vast amount of data."
"The most valuable features of this solution, in my opinion, are speed and performance, as well as cost-effectiveness."
"The integrated data storage features are good."
"As a cloud solution, it's easy to set up."
"The solution's reporting, dashboard, and out-of-the-box capabilities match exactly our requirements."
"It has a well-structured suite of complimentary tools for data integration and so forth."
"BigQuery is a powerful tool for managing and analyzing large datasets. The versatility of BigQuery extends to its compatibility with external data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau. This means you not only get query results but can also seamlessly integrate and visualize your data for better insights."
"Having the back-end data set with the right information is the best qualification for this solution."
"Now, because of the HANA integration, the hard disk and RAM are together, and because of that, the output is very quick and very fast actually."
"SAP Business Warehouse is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration with SAP ERP."
"Having the integration with the reporting tool which is provided by SAP is great."
"The solution has functionality that makes it easy for end-users to readily extract data directly from Business Warehouse into Excel and carry on their analysis on their own."
"Out-of-the-box reports are very useful."
"The real-time information is great."
"As a product, BigQuery still requires a lot of maturity to accommodate other use cases and to be widely acceptable across other organizations."
"I understand that Snowflake has made some improvements on its end to further reduce costs, so I believe BigQuery can catch up."
"So our challenge in Yemen is convincing many people to go to cloud services."
"There are many tools that you have to use with BigQuery that are different services also provided for by Google. They need to all be integrated into BigQuery to make the solution easier to use."
"The primary hurdle in this migration lies in the initial phase of moving substantial volumes of data to cloud-based platforms."
"When it comes to queries or the code being executed in the data warehouse, the management of this code, like integration with the GitHub repository or the GitLab repository, is kind of complicated, and it's not so direct."
"Some of the queries are complex and difficult to understand."
"We'd like to see more local data residency."
"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"I get all the information quickly, but it is one day old."
"The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data."
"We are very unhappy with technical support. First of all, they send their sales agents or pre-sales agents and most of them who don't know the solution as a properly trained tech would. We have an on-site SAP representative who is supposed to help us with our high priority and production issues, and they're not satisfactory to say the least."
"SAP Business Warehouse could integrate better with other ETL tools."
"It's a product that is at the end of life so they will not improve it anymore."
"More integration with Microsoft Office products (not just Excel) would be helpful."
"What I'd like improved in SAP Business Warehouse is its setup. It could be more flexible, and it could be a configuration-based setup."
