Apache Pig vs. Gigasheet

Apache Pig is a platform for analyzing large data sets that consists of a high-level language for expressing data analysis programs, coupled with infrastructure for evaluating these programs. The salient property of Pig programs is that their structure is amenable to substantial parallelization, which in turns enables them to handle very large data sets.

Gigasheet is an analytics platform purpose-built for healthcare market intelligence. Gigasheet analyzes price transparency files and payer-negotiated rates at massive scale. Used by payers, consultants, and provider organizations, Gigasheet makes it easy to explore reimbursement data, benchmark pricing across payers and regions, and identify outliers using a familiar spreadsheet interface. The platform supports billions of rows and connects directly to data warehouses, cloud storage, and flat files, enabling rapid healthcare price intelligence without burdening IT resources.
