When business operations run at lightning speed generating large data volumes and operational complexity abounds, real-time data visualization and data exploration becomes increasingly critical to manage daily operations. Striim enables businesses to access, analyze, visualize and explore live operational data to understand their “Now,” and take control of business operations.
Real-Time, Comprehensive Insight Made Easy
By combining real-time data integration, streaming analytics, and rich data visualization in a single, enterprise-grade platform, Striim allows businesses to respond to business trends and emerging issues proactively and with full context. With Striim, users not only have up-to-the-second visibility into all corners of the business with advanced custom metrics, but also the flexibility to explore streaming data without needing to write code.
Create Sophisticated Metrics Easily
Unlike packaged solutions with fixed and generic metrics, Striim’s software platform gives businesses the flexibility to gain fast and deep insight using business-specific metrics. By ingesting, filtering, aggregating, transforming, enriching, and analyzing real-time data from virtually any source, it enables custom metrics using all relevant data and the ability to dice and slice the metrics across a wide range of dimensions for fast insight. A comprehensive set of built-in SQL operations and functions – such as Math, Statistics, Date, Spatial, String – along with customizable, jumping and sliding time windowsprovide the granular and precise metric definitions that deliver accurate performance assessment.
Gain Real-Time and Flexible Visibility into Operations
By combining streaming integration and analytics capabilities with in-memory processing, Striim updates all metrics in real time as new data streams in from various sources, and stores historical data within the built-in results store for time-based comparisons.
Via the dashboards, users can compare live data to historical averages or to a specific date and time in the past, without having to write code. Real-time, interactive dashboards allow business users to view live data with detailed field and time-based filtering at the page or chart level. In addition, users can search streaming data directly on the dashboard and drill down to detail pages.
