TigerGraph (2020)
Date:
By: Philip Howard and Daniel Howard
Classification: InBrief
TigerGraph uses a property graph paradigm and has been designed specifically to support real-time (less than one second) analytics.
The key point about TigerGraph is its performance. Most other graph databases were built originally to support operational environments and were not intended to be used for complex large-scale and real-time analytics, though they may have been extended in that direction since they were originally designed. TigerGraph, on the other hand, was designed specifically for these environments. We are also particularly pleased by the introduction of the visual query builder, which should help to democratise the use of TigerGraph by providing self-service capabilities for business analysts and others that do not, and do not want, to understand GSQL.
