Cons
"The price could be better. Compared to competing solutions, BigQuery is expensive. It's only suitable for enterprise customers, not small and medium-sized businesses, as they cannot afford this kind of solution. In the next release, it would be better if they improved their AI bot. Although machine learning and artificial intelligence are doing wonders, there is still a lot of room to enhance them.""It would be beneficial to integrate additional tools, particularly from a business intelligence perspective.""I understand that Snowflake has made some improvements on its end to further reduce costs, so I believe BigQuery can catch up.""The product’s performance could be much faster.""They could enhance the platform's user accessibility.""I noticed recently it's more expensive now.""The main challenges are in the areas of performance and cost optimizations.""Some of the queries are complex and difficult to understand."

"It could be a bit more user-friendly.""Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets.""The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have tried my own setup using my Gmail ID, and I think it had a $300 limit for free for a new user. That's what Google is offering, and we can register and create a project."
  • "BigQuery is inexpensive."
  • "One terabyte of data costs $20 to $22 per month for storage on BigQuery and $25 on Snowflake. Snowflake is costlier for one terabyte, but BigQuery charges based on how much data is inserted into the tables. BigQuery charges you based on the amount of data that you handle and not the time in which you handle it. This is why the pricing models are different and it becomes a key consideration in the decision of which platform to use."
  • "The price is a bit high but the technology is worth it."
  • "The price could be better. Usually, you need to buy the license for a year. Whenever you want more, you can subscribe to it, and you can use it. Otherwise, you can terminate the license. You can use it daily or monthly, and we use it based on a project's requirements."
  • "The solution is pretty affordable and quite cheap in comparison to PDP or Cloudera."
  • "BigQuery pricing can increase quickly. It's a high-priced solution."
  • "The pricing is good and there are no additional costs involved."

  • "Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."

    Overview

    BigQuery is an enterprise data warehouse that solves this problem by enabling super-fast SQL queries using the processing power of Google's infrastructure. ... You can control access to both the project and your data based on your business needs, such as giving others the ability to view or query your data.

    Teradata IntelliCloud provides data and analytic software as a service (SaaS). You can subscribe to Teradata Database, Aster Analytics, and/or Hadoop and receive complete setup and management of software and infrastructure – so that you can focus on business outcomes.

    IntelliCloud services are available with new deployment choices: Teradata IntelliFlex – our flagship enterprise data warehouse platform that we deploy and manage in our data centers – and public cloud infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) that we provision and manage.
