Google BigQuery Likes & Dislikes
Out-of-the-box partitioning is very good, it allows terabyte scanning queries to run in minutes instead of hours, as is done by competitors. The interface is very clean and understandable, with easy SQL table creation from text files and parquet files. Preview version of tables are also very helpful.
The most compelling feature is data delivery from other google products - Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager most of all. The new-ish features for controlling spend are strong.
I like the support we get from the Google team, we can get incidents resolved in a matter of minutes. We would also like to have a quarterly feedback session with the team. Google pricing is better than the rest, an we can scale it across the business. I am impressed with the rate of feature releases. Google is an exception in up to date features, recently their Gemini is impressive
I believe that the cost is higher than for on premise services. It's also very cluttered with a lot of options, so I find it complicated to use for easy querying. It lacks some of the analytics for each column, something out of the box.
Working with google support is sometimes very frustruting
For now we are hoping there is more to be done in data cataloging, dataplex sucks. i am looking forward to more features in data side, and improvements.

Google BigQuery Offers Seamless Experience With Rapid Support and Timely Feature Releases
Google BigQuery is exceptional. We use this enterprise wide, it is seamless, and has a good user experience. I am fascinated with the theme of Google. Sticking to white makes it so good. To cap it off, the support we get from the Google team is truly exceptional - Staff Analytics Engineer50M-1B USDServices (non-Government)Review Source
Robust Performance Noted Despite Difficulties in Cross-Region Data Integration Processes
A very robust tool that serves most of our use-cases, the only complaint being related to how some of our third-party vendors have technical difficulties sharing their data sources and projects with us with the intent to integrate them to our data lake/warehouse. We faced both issues with permissions and intra-region availability, delaying the process of making the datasets available to our users. - Engineer1B-10B USDTelecommunicationReview Source
Scalability and Ease Found in Data Tool, But Complex Queries Raise Costs Quickly
Working with BQ has been really positive. I find it fast and easy to use and has scaled well as our demands have grown. We have been using it with Looker and the experience has been smooth. Performance tuning and cost control is why I like BQ. Features like materialized views and clustering made a big difference for us. I also find it easy to find errors in my SQL with BQ. Aesthetically, it's the best data tool to use for data engineers. - Data Engineer50M-1B USDRetailReview Source
BigQuery Praised for Performance Yet Criticized for Complexity and High Pricing
BigQuery is an outstanding cloud data warehouse solution.Its serverless architecture eliminates infrastructure management, while auto-scaling ensures performance even at massive query load.
