Our take
TigerGraph specialises in graph databases, powerful databases that can connect multiple data points at once. Purpose-built to manage large amounts of highly connected data, it's flexible and easily scalable, and widely preferred over traditional relational databases.
TigerGraph's substantial funding has enabled its expansion, and it now supports Google Cloud Platform workloads. This has uniquely positioned TigerGraph as the only distributed graph database available as SaaS on all major cloud platforms. Additionally, TigerGraph now integrates connectors for Snowflake and Salesforce Tableau, further enhancing customer options. GraphStudio, a graphical user interface for TigerGraph DB, brings together all aspects of graph database analysis into one application specifically created for ease of use.
TigerGraph is currently the fastest graph database in the world, ahead of competitors such as Neo4j, ArangoDB and Redis, a position the business will no doubt be eager to maintain as it is a key differentiator.
