1. Cogility: Cogynt
This GigaOm Solution Brief was commissioned by Cogility and is based on the GigaOm Radar Report for Streaming Data Platforms, 2024.
Solution Overview
Cogility specializes in predictive analytics and operational intelligence. Its platform, Cogynt, enables real-time analysis of voluminous and complex data, offering actionable insights to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
Cogynt is an integrated “continuous intelligence” platform that employs patented hierarchical complex event processing (HCEP). This technology transforms data streams into actionable insights and continuous risk assessments. Instead of querying data, users receive proactive findings prioritized by risk or opportunity.
Cogynt features a no-code authoring environment, empowering data scientists and subject matter experts (SMEs) to create structured analytic solutions without writing code. The platform comprises several applications tailored to different user needs:
- Authoring Tool: Connects to data sources, creates models, and deploys them as Apache Flink jobs using a built-in Flink Kubernetes Operator. Model deployment is fully automated, eliminating the need for users to know how to program or manage Flink operations.
- ModelDoc: Automatically generates documentation for models created by data scientists and SMEs.
- Data Management Tool: Manages data connectors and entry forms for data ingestion.
- Workstation: Analysts can investigate findings, collaborate on case files, and produce reports using the Report Builder.
- Apache Superset: Enables decision makers to create customizable dashboards to assess Cogynt’s effectiveness.
- User Management: Manages users, roles, and permissions.
- Audit Viewer: Provides auditors with a review of user actions and changes.
- Delivery Tool: Automates the creation and deployment of infrastructure into self-hosted virtual private clouds.
How to Read This Report
The GigaOm Solution Brief concisely analyzes a vendor’s offering in a specific market. It builds on the framework developed in GigaOm’s Key Criteria and Radar reports and outlines how a vendor performs against three primary decision criteria:
- Key features differentiate solutions and highlight the primary criteria to consider when evaluating a streaming data platform solution.
- Emerging features show how well each vendor implements capabilities that are not yet mainstream but are expected to become more widespread and compelling within the next 12 to 18 months.
- Business criteria provide insight into the nonfunctional requirements that factor into a purchase decision and determine a solution’s impact on an organization.
The specific decision criteria applied in this report are summarized below. The corresponding report, GigaOm Key Criteria for Evaluating Streaming Data Platforms, provides more detailed descriptions. The corresponding report, GigaOm Radar for Streaming Data Platforms, provides a complete vendor comparison.
Purchase Considerations and Use Cases
Cogynt is available as a vendor-hosted platform or a self-managed Kubernetes cluster within the customer’s virtual private cloud, licensed via an annual subscription.
Cogynt’s no-code Authoring Tool allows technical and non-technical users to create streaming data applications. It is ideal for large enterprises and specialized use cases, though it is not targeted at SMBs. Cogynt has been successfully used in Department of Defense (DoD) counter-insider threat-detection programs, commercial cybersecurity, insurance underwriting assessments, case file management, financial services, logistics, and risk assessment.
