Trifacta is a privately owned software company headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Bangalore, Boston, Berlin and London. The company was founded in October 2012[1] and primarily develops data wrangling software for data exploration and self-service data preparation on cloud and on-premises data platforms.[2]

Its platform, also named Trifacta, is "designed for analysts to explore, transform, and enrich raw data into clean and structured formats."[3] Trifacta utilizes techniques in machine learning, data visualization, human-computer interaction, and parallel processing so non-technical users can work with large datasets.[4]

History

The company was developed from a joint research project with Ph.D. and UC Berkeley Professor Joe Hellerstein, Ph.D. and University of Washington and former Stanford professor Jeffrey Heer, and Stanford Ph.D. Sean Kandel. The company created a software application that combines visual interaction with intelligent inference for the process of data transformation and was launched in October 2012; to date, Trifacta has raised over $76 million in funding from Accel Partners, Greylock Partners, Ignition Partners and Cathay Innovation.[5] The company also has investments from X/Seed Capital, Data Collective and angel investors Dave Goldberg, Venky Harinarayan and Anand Rajaraman.

Milestones

Products & partnerships

Trifacta has three products available via its platform:Trifacta Wrangler, Wrangler Pro, and Trifacta Wrangler Enterprise. Trifacta Wrangler is a connected desktop application to transform data for downstream analytics and visualization.[24] Wrangler Pro supports larger data volumes, cloud and on-premises deployment options, and the ability to schedule and operationalize data preparation workflows.[25] Wrangler Enterprises is an enterprise-level offering for teams in organizations and offers centralized management of security, governance and operationalization.[26]

Trifacta Wrangler Enterprise features include expanded self-service scheduling and flow view, increased sampling flexibility, and context-aware wrangling tasks.[27] Wrangler Pro is designed for analyst teams wrangling diverse data outside of big data environments.[28]

In March 2017, Google announced the launch of Cloud Dataprep, a service for users to clean up their data sets before pushing it into a service like Google's BigQuery managed data warehousing service. The software is an embedded version of Trifacta's Wrangler Enterprise app.[29]

In November 2017, Trifacta announced expanded support for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and made available Wrangler Edge and Wrangler Enterprise on the AWS Marketplace. Trifacta was additionally awarded the AWS Machine Learning (ML) Competency status for previous success in machine learning deployment on AWS.[30]

In March 2018, Trifacta and Microsoft announced their co-sell partner status and the introduction of Trifacta's Wrangler Enterprise product on the Azure Marketplace.[31] [32]
