Also cost is high... very high ----- ### "Our datawarehouse" — 5.0/5 > **Alex** | *January 5, 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It stores all our data. It is very easy to access and use SQL to query the data and great to integrate with PowerBI for custom dashboards. > > **Cons**: I don't have anything negative to say about BigQuery. It delivers what it promises and is easy enough to use. > > We integrate BigQuery with all our data analysis software to store all the raw data from all our products.
