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.

[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]
