Coginiti vs. Hull CDP (discontinued)

Aginity is well suited for writing ad-hoc queries and data analysis, having all of the features that data analysts come to expect in a database querying tool. Aginity is also great for basic operation and management allowing an engineer or DBA to store multiple databases and credentials, see how tables are distributed or sorted, and see table sizes and row counts. However, for more advanced database management another tool or the RedShift console is still required

If you are a fast scaling team using segment and slack, Hull is a must. For your sales reps trying to understand the activity of customers/prospects/users of your applicaiton, there is no easier way to surface that information than using Hull. We've been thoroughly impressed by the wide use cases and integrations Hull can offer and we use it many times a day. 100% would recommend this tool

Incentivized

• Explore, model and analyze data across all company platforms.
• With Aginity, we improve team engagements where we can access and re-use colleagues' SQL.
• Make faster data-driven decisions with BI capabilities.

Incentivized

• Good fit for our SME marketing/ Sales Tech stack. Integrations like HubSpot and Clearbit are native and easy to use within Hull- and it was one of the only providers that fit that criteria when we were vetting options.
• Ease of Use. Hull is fairly intuitive for a casual user. The only real questions that came up for us were doing the data-mapping phase when we mapped fields against Hull.
• No database to maintain. A critical selling point for us, and something which has freed up a fair amount of engineering time on an ongoing basis has been that Hull, unlike Segment, didn't require us to maintain a database.

Incentivized

• with Hortonworks, you have to modify manually some settings in order to correctly see the metadata (HCAT properties)
• with reclaim, the generate only express statistics and "limit 100" on the select is a little risky if you do not pay attention.
• Saved views cannot be retrieved with the same [syntax] you wrote them, but they become really hard to read

Incentivized

• I am not sure about new features, if they are rolling out or what!
• It might also be valuable to see the responsiveness of things triggered through Hull, sometimes data takes a bit longer than expected to trigger a workflow (but never really more than a minute so not a huge deal really...)

Aginity learning curve was smooth and we didn't need to hire a specialist to teach us the system. it also offers free trials and a free version which enabled us to use and test the system's compatibility with our organisation's needs before fully investing in one. moreover, its ability to drag and drop tabs has made our work easier.

Incentivized

We had initially identified Segment as a solution due to the number of integrations they supported. The problem is that with Segment we would have still had to build and maintain a database along with query tools. Overall Hull emerged as a better starting point for us

Incentivized

• I think Aginity really allows us to quickly dive into the data, by providing easy and quick access to our database. This allowed us to solve our business problems on an efficient and timely manner. But since it is not a critical component of our department, (a lot of people also use Toad for the same thing, since Netezza is retiring soon, and Aginity, which belongs to IBM, has had legal issues, and is no longer available to new hires of our department. It is sort of our legacy software.)

Incentivized

• No ROI. I invested in it for months and promised functionality was never delivered
