## Reviews

### "Get started with BigQuery, A powerful tool for analysing Big data" — 3.0/5

> **Chhaya** | *18 September 2022* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Our salesforce campaigns relies heavily on data warehouse, which is the backbone of everything we do. This data set contains both row data sets and BigQuery is used to aggregate this sets by running schedule queries on it.
> 
> **Cons**: This platform requires strong SQL skills. Huge dependency on tech team to fix queries sometime.

-----

### "GBQ is an analysts best friend" — 5.0/5

> **Bryan** | *7 September 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Literally everything.  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.

### "GBQ is a good Choice" — 4.0/5

> **Erika** | *3 January 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Super fast\! Can handle tons of data in seconds. No worries about it slowing down. Works well with other Google stuff
> 
> **Cons**: Pricing is a bit confusing. Not easy to know how much it will cost. Interface could be better

### "My review for Google Cloud BigQuery" — 5.0/5

> **Pranav** | *22 January 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The things I liked most about Google Cloud BigQuery are the robust data extraction and columnar data storing.
> 
> **Cons**: The thing I dislike about Google Cloud BigQuery is the longer time taking to handle big data.
> 
> Overall Google Cloud BigQuery is very good for data analysis and getting actionable insights from the raw data.

### "Do you like Google Stack? It's good to go with BigQuery" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *7 June 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If you work with Google Stack in your company, using BigQuery makes sense. It's cloud, it's fast and it's easy to keep and update.
> 
> **Cons**: It's not so easy as some other tools. But in the other hand, it's part of Google Stack and you have easy information to get in the net.
> 
> An excellent option for keep a consistent tech stack, some limits (no problems) but fast and easy after you built you database and connections.
