Our take
For enterprises, data capture is increasing at a rapid rate, but visibility into this data is still surprisingly low. Acceldata enables businesses to monitor their data across a range of environments, exposing interactions between data sets and optimizing databases to increase performance and reliability while lowering costs.
Acceldata was founded by veterans of Zalando, InMobi ,and Hortonworks, which allowed it to both identify and address key data pain points facing enterprises today. The platform leverages AI and machine learning to help its clients "win in the data economy" by reducing performance incidents, improving productivity, and lowering spend on infrastructure.
Data observability platforms are becoming increasingly prevalent, and Acceldata's main challenge will be competing with companies like Datafold and Monte Carlo. Despite this, Acceldata has displayed promising growth, and carved itself a space in the burgeoning market. 2023 funding will be used to increase awareness for data observability, and in turn capture more data-driven companies as clients.
