Best cloud for data workloads

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Cloud from other similar products?

Big query is an amazing product by Google. The prices are way cheaper than any other cloud and big query has amazing integration with other google products. As a big data engineer I found big query best in the class.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

As a data engineer, I like big query & data flow. These two products are really amazing and very flexible to develop data integration pipelines. Another thing about data integration in GCP is you can use a single pipeline for real time & batch processing which is very helpful.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't have any dislike. Just one suggestion google team is that GCP should be more user friendly like Azure cloud. Especially the data integration pipeline UI is not very user friendly like Azure data factory. Other than that performance wise GCP is one of the best in the class.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

As GCP is relatively a new cloud, so before considering GCP make sure the GCP has data center in your region based on your data governance policies. Also GCP is more open source so if you are thinking about GCP then make sure you have suitable developer for open source tech i.e. python, JavaScript, SQL
