ZetData

ZetData offers a cloud service (DataCanvas) to create, manage and share big data analytic pipelines. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Analytics, Big Data and Predictive Analytics, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

ZetData is based in San Jose, California and founded in 2014. More on datacanvas.io.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with ZetData, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
