The existing literature emphasizes that big data applications and analytics can empower those who apply Big Data Analytics during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reviews the existing literature specializing in big data applications pre and peri-COVID-19. A comparison between Pre and Peri of the pandemic for using Big Data applications is presented. The comparison is expanded to four highly recognized industry fields: Healthcare, Education, Transportation, and Banking. A discussion on the effectiveness of the four major types of data analytics across the mentioned industries is highlighted. Hence, this paper provides an illustrative description of the importance of big data applications in the era of COVID-19, as well as aligning the applications to their relevant big data analytics models. This review paper concludes that applying the ultimate big data applications and their associated data analytics models can harness the significant limitations faced by organizations during one of the most fateful pandemics worldwide. Future work will conduct a systematic literature review and a comparative analysis of the existing Big Data Systems and models. Moreover, future work will investigate the critical challenges of Big Data Analytics and applications during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bdcc6040157","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,14]],"date-time":"2022-12-14T05:27:23Z","timestamp":1670995643000},"page":"157","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Explore Big Data Analytics Applications and Opportunities: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5386-5313","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zaher Ali","family":"Al-Sai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management Information Systems, Faculty of Business, Al-Zaytoonah University of Jordan, Amman 11733, Jordan"},{"name":"School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3667-3894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohd Heikal","family":"Husin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Sharifah Mashita","family":"Syed-Mohamad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Rasha Moh\u2019d Sadeq","family":"Abdin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Nour","family":"Damer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"King Talal School of Business Technology, Princess Sumaya University for Technology, Amman 11941, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2203-4549","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laith","family":"Abualigah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Pulau Pinang 11800, Malaysia"},{"name":"Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah College for Information Technology, Al Al-Bayt University, Mafraq 25113, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Amman 19328, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Middle East University, Amman 11831, Jordan"},{"name":"Faculty of Information Technology, Applied Science Private University, Amman 11931, Jordan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2798-0104","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amir H.","family":"Gandomi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney 2007, Australia"},{"name":"University Research and Innovation Center (EKIK), \u00d3buda University, 1034 Budapest, Hungary"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"166","article-title":"The role of cloud computing technology: A savior to fight the lockdown in COVID-19 crisis, the benefits, characteristics and applications","volume":"2","author":"Alhomdy","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
