Roambi Offers Interactive Mobile Big Data Visualizations

Roambi is a big data startup that completely focuses on mobile visualizations and they understand that practice pretty well. They have created an analytics tool that is easy to use and straightforward to install and users can import any type of data. Many companies see the importance of mobile visualizations and customers from Roambi come from many different industries as well as from Global Fortune 500 companies to SMEs.

They store the data locally in order to ensure that also without coverage users can have access to the data. This can lead to potential security issues, when for example an employee loses his or her iPhone. However, they have several security measures in place among others remotely deleting all data on an iPhone and 256-bit encryption it, so that should be sufficient.

In addition they have developed Roambi Business that brings all the analytics to organizations from any size. This suite is available via the cloud or on-premises and offers employees at different levels in an organization access to the data they require.

Their Roambi Analytics tool and Business Suite is a great visualization tool for big data, but they have built another tool that is definitely worth mentioning. Roambi Flow is a tool that allows users to create rich multi-touch publications to tell the story behind the analytics.
