46 Imply Testimonials

“To build our industry-leading solutions, we leverage Imply and Druid, which provide an interactive, highly scalable, and real-time analytics engine, helping us create differentiated offerings.”

“Our advertisers were requesting different slices of their data and [HBase] didn't really support that. We said what’s next for us? And we chose Apache Druid because it met all our key requirements.”

“A surprising conclusion emerged. The best platform for scalability and customer usage was Imply.”

"With Imply, now we're running at least 10 times faster than when we started."

“Thanks to Apache Druid, we feel not only that we’ve caught up with our competitors–the likes of Adobe, Facebook, Snapchat, and Google–but we are poised to take it to the next level.”

“Why do I have to do all this work just to add another column, or to give a specific market the daily aggregate that they need? We’re paying a fortune for processing and for storage – why can’t we just have a simple, wide view of a table? There must be something to help make this easier and more efficient”

“Druid is really good at being able to group on various aggregates at query time at speed. It gave us the confidence to build interactive analytics for users.”

“We use to wait for a day or two to crunch the data for A/B testing, for example. Now, we can get that data from Druid in real time, usually in less than two seconds.”

“Druid [has] a home in a number of areas in and around Yahoo, from executive-level dashboards to customer-facing analytics and even some analytically-powered products.”

“If your environment is ready and is optimized around the capabilities of Imply, it becomes a very valuable tool.”

“After we switched to Druid, our query latencies dropped to near sub-second and in general, the project fulfilled most of our requirements. Today, our cluster ingests nearly 1B+ events per day (2TB of raw data), and Druid has scaled quite well for us.”

“I call Imply Polaris a ‘five-minute analytics infrastructure’ because you can get from zero to a table with test data and build dashboards with the drag-and-drop-style report builder in literally no more than five minutes.”

“Our customers gain insights about their grid and at the same time the platform recommends different products for them to offer their customers, based on the insights we see.”

“The sheer volume of data we push through Imply is immense, but in an instant, we can answer a precise question like ‘How many ad opportunities were there for Words with Friends in Brighton today at 4 PM?’”

“The feature that we immediately loved is the Cluster Manager. With it, we can start a new Druid cluster in our AWS VPC or launch a major update in one click. Before, it was a time-consuming and dreaded operation for our data team.”
