Our take

TigerGraph specialises in graph databases - which are powerful databases that can connect multiple data points at once. Purpose built to manage large amounts of highly connected data, flexible and easily scalable, this technology is becoming increasingly preferred over traditional relational databases.

Its substantial funding has enabled TigerGraph to expand, now with support for Google Cloud Platform workloads, putting TigerGraph in the unique position of being the only distributed graph database to be made available as SaaS on all major cloud platforms. In addition, connectors for Snowflake and Salesforce Tableau further enhance the integration options for TigerGraph. GraphStudio, a graphical user interface for TigerGraph DB brings together all aspects of the graph database analysis in one application created specifically 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.
