From a functionality standpoint, Trifacta stands comparison with any other product on the market,” said Philip Howard, research director at Bloor Research. “Congratulations to Trifacta for ranking so highly in our report.”

Bloor Research analysts defined a benchmark score for a domain leading company based on their overall ratings and those above that rating are in the Champions segment.

The exact position in each segment is calculated based on their combined innovation and overall score. Depicted in the above graph, Trifacta is the top-rated Champion in the 2016 Self-Service Data Preparation & Cataloguing Report.
