TigerGraph is a private company headquartered in Redwood City, California. It provides graph database and graph analytics software.
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]
TigerGraph's hybrid transactional/analytical processing database and analytics software can scale to hundreds of terabytes of data with trillions of edges, and is used for data intensive applications such as fraud detection, customer data analysis (customer 360), IoT, artificial intelligence and machine learning. [1] [4] It is available using the cloud computing delivery model. [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 that is similar to SQL. [1] [2] [6] : 9–10 TigerGraph also provides a software development kit for creating graphs and visual representations. [1] [7]
As of Nov 2023, TigerGraph version is up to version 3.9.3. [7]
A 2018 review of TigerGraph 2.2 in Infoworld gave the product 4.5 out of 5 stars. [8]
GSQL is a SQL-like Turing complete query language designed by TigerGraph. [9]
Db2 is a family of data management products, including database servers, developed by IBM. It initially supported the relational model, but was extended to support object–relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. The brand name was originally styled as DB/2, then DB2 until 2017 and finally changed to its present form.
In computer programming contexts, a data cube is a multi-dimensional ("n-D") array of values. Typically, the term data cube is applied in contexts where these arrays are massively larger than the hosting computer's main memory; examples include multi-terabyte/petabyte data warehouses and time series of image data.
MonetDB is an open-source column-oriented relational database management system (RDBMS) originally developed at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands. It is designed to provide high performance on complex queries against large databases, such as combining tables with hundreds of columns and millions of rows. MonetDB has been applied in high-performance applications for online analytical processing, data mining, geographic information system (GIS), Resource Description Framework (RDF), text retrieval and sequence alignment processing.
MarkLogic is an American software business that develops and provides an enterprise NoSQL database, also named MarkLogic. It has offices in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
Greenplum is a big data technology based on MPP architecture and the Postgres open source database technology. The technology was created by a company of the same name headquartered in San Mateo, California around 2005. Greenplum was acquired by EMC Corporation in July 2010.
A graph database (GDB) is a database that uses graph structures for semantic queries with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. A key concept of the system is the graph. The graph relates the data items in the store to a collection of nodes and edges, the edges representing the relationships between the nodes. The relationships allow data in the store to be linked together directly and, in many cases, retrieved with one operation. Graph databases hold the relationships between data as a priority. Querying relationships is fast because they are perpetually stored in the database. Relationships can be intuitively visualized using graph databases, making them useful for heavily inter-connected data.
SingleStore is a proprietary, cloud-native database designed for data-intensive applications. A distributed, relational, SQL database management system (RDBMS) that features ANSI SQL support, it is known for speed in data ingest, transaction processing, and query processing.

RainStor was a software company that developed a database management system of the same name, designed to manage and analyze big data for large enterprises. It used de-duplication techniques to organize the process of storing excessive amounts of data for reference. The company originated as a project by the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence to store volumes of data from years of field operations for ongoing analysis and training purposes.
SAP HANA is an in-memory, column-oriented, relational database management system developed and marketed by SAP SE.
