Product Description

Unravel Data radically simplifies the way businesses understand and optimize the performance of their modern data applications – and the complex pipelines that power those applications. Providing a unified view across the entire stack, Unravel’s data operations platform leverages AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to offer actionable recommendations and automation for tuning, troubleshooting, and improving performance.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unravel’s purpose-built AI enables granular and real-time visibility, platform-specific recommendations, and automation designed to empower and unify DataOps and FinOps teams.

Unlike cloud service provider and third-party generalist FinOps tools, Unravel provides granular, user-level and job-level reporting for cost allocation, showback, and chargeback. Create budgets and accurate forecasts for predictable cloud data analytics spending. Code-level optimization recommendations enable data engineers to run more data workloads within your existing budget. Automated guardrails and spend controls catch cost efficiency issues before they go off the rails.

Traditional monitoring/APM tools do a great job of monitoring and optimizing the performance of web applications, but they were never intended to handle the complexities of today’s data workloads. Unravel is designed specifically for modern data stacks, including Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon EMR, and more.

Only Unravel provides full-stack, cross-platform visibility, AI-driven insights and recommendations, and automated tuning and troubleshooting across the enterprise data stack.
