Products

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]
