How would we compare Splunk and Palantir with this company? I know their focus may be a bit different: Splunk is geared towards "logs" and Palantir towards govt datasets, etc... but at the essence of each company is the task of bringing diverse datasets together and making sense of it. Which makes me think that the companies that are successful at this focus on a particular use-case - as opposed to trying to build for a generic one. thoughts?



Splunk is mainly about log analysis, though they have a new BI product. It's primarily about making sense of your logs. We primarily work with a database you already have (and eventually the data warehouse you'll spin up).

Palantir is a wide set of tools and really about much more powerful analysis than we're targeting.

Our whole bag is letting non-technical people in your company get answers to their common questions by themselves.
