Has supported detailed policy and education analysis with low-code data exploration
I do not use AWS as my main cloud provider within the company and am not currently using it with AWS. My company did not buy it through the AWS Marketplace as I'm the founder of the company. I do not use BigQuery's integration with Google Analytics for custom behavior analysis. I have not utilized the geospatial analysis capabilities with BigQuery as I'm doing mostly human capital work, so geospatial wouldn't make sense. I would rate their service on a scale of one to 10 for Google as ten. I would rate BigQuery as nine out of 10. My experience with the pricing for BigQuery was through a grant from Google. Their pricing is fairly priced and pretty comparable to Microsoft's offering. I haven't had direct experience, but I did look at the pricing of the Microsoft offering and it's pretty similar. I do not deal with Google AI tools such as Vertex.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It stands out in efficiently handling internal actions without the need for manual intervention in tasks like building cubes and defining final dimensions."
"It's pretty stable. It's fast, and it is able to go through large quantities of data pretty quickly."
"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."
"Its integration with other tools like Atlan through a Google Chrome extension is highly beneficial."
"The interface is what I find particularly valuable."
"We basically used it to store server data and generate reports for enterprise architects. It was a valuable tool for our enterprise design architect."
"To be frank, the performance, reliability, and everything else have improved, even the downtime."
"BigQuery's querying capabilities are very optimized for large datasets."
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
 

Cons

"The solution should reduce its pricing."
"To be very specific, here in the Middle East, I'm based out of the UAE, and Google has a very narrow footprint, a very limited footprint here in the region."
"I rate BigQuery six out of 10 for affordability. It could be cheaper."
"When I open many of the Google Cloud products, I am in an environment that I do not feel familiar with; it is a little overwhelming."
"BigQuery can be very expensive if not used properly. Introducing AI tools that would allow you to optimize the data extraction process is an area of serious improvement."
"With other columnar databases like Snowflake, you can actually increase your VM size or increase your machine size, and you can buy more memory and it will start working faster, but that's not available in BigQuery. You have to actually open a ticket and then follow it up with Google support."
"The price is a bit high but the technology is worth it."
"They could enhance the platform's user accessibility."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product operates on a pay-for-use model. Costs include storage and query execution, which can accumulate based on data volume and complexity."
"The product’s pricing could be more flexible for end users."
"Price-wise, I think that is very reasonable."
"The pricing is adaptable, ensuring that organizations can tailor their usage and costs based on their specific requirements and configurations within the Google Cloud Platform."
"BigQuery is inexpensive."
"The pricing appears to be competitive for the intended usage scenarios we have in mind."
"The solution is pretty affordable and quite cheap in comparison to PDP or Cloudera."
"The solution's pricing is cheaper compared to other solutions."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
