  • Comment: Hi @HighKing: and @DoubleGrazing: I have PDF copies of all three analyst reports, but Wikipedia will not let me post a link to Google Drive here. I can provide the analyst reports if you email me at david.ronald@tigergraph.com. Each has a short "Vendor Profile" not nearly as long/in-depth as some of the media articles, but it may be useful that Forrester said TigerGraph was one of the "most significant" companies in the space. Whatever your decision, thanks for taking the time to review. DRonald0412 (talk) 18:17, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: FWIW, I think this can be accepted. The sources add up to GNG. The tone is not too promo-ey, for something that was written by the marketing dept. And judging by the Forrester report, this seems a noteworthy player in their space. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:44, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: I am neither rejecting nor accepting this article at this time. Your references appear to indicate that the company has been profiled by analyst organizations such as Forrester and Gartner. Can you provide a link to an analyst report discussing this company?

TigerGraph is a private company headquartered in Redwood City, California. It provides graph database and graph analytics software.

History

TigerGraph was founded in 2012 by programmer Dr. Yu Xu under the name GraphSQL.[1]

In September 2017, the company came out of stealth mode under the name TigerGraph with $33 million in funding.[1] It raised an additional $32 million in funding in September 2019[2] and another $105 million in a series C round in February 2021.[3] Cumulative funding as of March 2021 is $170 million.[4]

Products

TigerGraph's hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP) database and analytics software can scale to tens of terabytes of data with billions of edges, and is used for data intensive applications such as fraud detection, customer 360, IoT, AI and machine learning.[1][4] It is available in the cloud.[5] The analytics uses C++ based software and a parallel processing engine to process algorithms and queries.[1] It has its own graph query language (GSQL) that is similar to SQL.[1][2][6]: 9–10  TigerGraph also provides a software development kit (SDK) for creating graphs and visual representations.[1][7]

Reception

A review in Infoworld of TigerGraph 2.2 gave the product 4.5 out of 5 stars.[8] The review said TigerGraph excelled at parallel processing and in multi-hop analytic queries.[8]
