Trifacta v2
Big data can be messy. Trifacta attracted a lot of attention this year with its Trifacta Data Transformation Platform that uses visualization, machine learning and "predictive interaction" technology to "easily transform raw, complex data [in Hadoop] into clean and structured formats" for analysis. That, according to the company, makes it easier for businesses to derive real value from their data.
Trifacta launched the first release of its software in February, followed up with the 2.0 release in October that adds advanced data-profiling functions, the ability to leverage Hadoop's multiworkload processing capabilities, and native support for more complex data formats, including JSON, Avro, ORC and Parquet.
