Trifacta is a platform for exploring and preparing data for analysis. Trifacta works with cloud and on-premises data platforms.[1]

Trifacta is designed to allow analysts to explore, transform and enrich raw, diverse data into clean and structured formats for analysis through self-service data preparation. Trifacta’s approach focuses on utilizing the latest techniques in machine learning, data visualization, human-computer interaction and parallel processing and allows non-technical users who have the most context for the data to quickly make the data ready for a variety of business processes such as analytics.[2]

Trifacta Wrangler is a connected desktop application that lets users transform data for downstream analytics and visualization.[18] Wrangler Edge gives support for multiple users, larger data volumes, broader connectivity, cloud, and on-premises deployment options, and the ability to schedule and operationalize wrangling workflows.[19] Wrangler Enterprises lets analyst teams in an organization use self-service to explore and transform data with a centralized management of security, governance and operationalization.[20]

With the Spring 2017 release, Trifacta Wrangler Enterprise features include expanded self-service scheduling and flow view, enhanced collaboration, increased sampling flexibility, and context aware wrangling tasks.[21] Wrangler Edge is a platform designed for analyst teams wrangling diverse data outside of big data environments.[22]

In March 2017, Google announced the launch of Cloud Dataprep, a service that lets people clean up their data sets before pushing it into a service like Google’s BigQuery managed data warehousing service. The software is an embedded version of Trifacta’s Wrangler Enterprise app.[23]
