Overview of Sentinel Visualizer
Free TrialSentinel Visualizer combines powerful link analysis, social network analysis, geospatial visualization, and temporal analysis with an integrated Microsoft SQL Server knowledgebase. Explore millions of entities and relationships, uncover connections, identify important people and organizations, and transform complex information into actionable intelligence.
Start with the big picture and drill down to the details, or begin with an individual entity and expand its network one relationship at a time.
Explore Connections with Link Analysis
Visualize complex networks and explore the connections between people, organizations, events, locations, and other entities. Sentinel Visualizer makes it easy to follow relationships, reveal indirect connections, and focus on the information most relevant to your analysis.
Turn rows and columns into visual networks that reveal multi-level relationships and hidden connections among people, places, events, and other entities. Use the Dataset Builder and Advanced Dataset Builder to select exactly which entities and relationships to visualize based on their characteristics and connections to each other.
"Sentinel Visualizer is robust enough to handle complex and meaningful link and social network analyses over complex data, yet intuitive enough to be immediately accessible. The
new query and data management capabilities, as well as previously unavailable non-enterprise licensing options, make Sentinel Visualizer a competitive alternative to other link analysis products
on the market."

"Sentinel Visualizer enables state and local government agencies, police departments, and fusion centers to better analyze data. This in turn leads to high-quality, actionable
intelligence."
B. Batty
President and CEO of Forensic Logic which manages the data for the Texas law enforcement community
"Sentinel Visualizer represents an innovative use of Microsoft SQL Server and Visual Studio .NET to deliver the next generation data analysis and visualization solutions to
Federal Agencies"

Quickly transform complex networks into clear, understandable visualizations with automatic link chart layouts. Choose from incremental, hierarchical, circular, elliptical, rectangular, square, triangular, orthogonal, and force-directed layouts, or group entities by type.
Additional options let you control entity sort order, display multiple networks, and customize the visualization for your analysis.
Plot entities with latitude and longitude data directly on maps using their custom icons. Filter networks by geographic area or use Geo-Query to discover entities and relationships associated with specific locations.
Explore online topographic and road maps anywhere in the world, integrate with Google Earth, or work with offline maps, ESRI data, and Shapefiles. Export maps for reports, presentations, and further analysis.
Quickly find specific entities and relationships using search tools ranging from simple lookups to advanced queries. Review and edit selected records, add them to reports, export them to Excel, or send them directly to a link analysis diagram.
Entity Search: Most Recently Used Entities
The Entity Search form opens with your most recent ones so you can select them immediately.
The bottom toolbar offers options for the selected entities.
Entity Name Search
Enter a search term to list the Entities with that name.
The search also finds aliases and other metadata values.
Relationship Search: Most Recently Used Relationships
The Relationship Search form opens with your most recent ones so you can select them immediately.
The bottom toolbar offers options for the selected relationships.
Relationship Search by Entity
Select an Entity and find all the Relationships with it.
A relationship has two entities with a relationship type between them.
The Advanced Dataset Builder Wizard combines 15 illustrated relationship patterns with powerful search criteria, making it easy to define complex selections of entities and relationships. Preview the results or send them directly to the Visualizer for analysis.
Select the Options
Decide if entities and relationships are filtered, how they are linked, and result options.
Selections here determine the following pages in the Wizard.
Filter Entities
Specify entity name, types, values, and ranges for numeric and date fields. Autofill with [Retrieve Ranges].
A second tab filters on metadata and lookup values.
Filter Relationships
Specify entities, relationship types, values, and ranges for numeric and date fields. Autofill with [Retrieve Ranges].
A second tab filters on metadata and lookup values.
Preview Results
See the lists of entities and relationships that passed the Wizard with options to send them to Visualizer, view them in detail, export to Excel, and more.
Display in Visualizer Diagram
See the results on the Visualizer Diagram with options to add more data, calculate Social Network Analysis (SNA) metrics, filter the data, examine networks and cliques, find shortest paths, apply color gradients, sizes and other analytics.
Reveal time-based patterns with interactive timelines and dynamic time sliders. View entity and relationship start and end dates in a scrollable timeline to identify events, overlapping periods, and other temporal patterns.
Choose Hour, Day, Week, Month, or Year views, then move the Time Slider to watch the network change as your selected time window moves forward or backward.
Apply Social Network Analysis (SNA) to identify the people, organizations, and other entities that play the most important roles within a network. Measure centrality and node importance using multiple analytical criteria to uncover influential entities, critical connections, and network structure.
Sentinel Visualizer includes a powerful, configurable, and scalable knowledgebase built on Microsoft SQL Server.
Store text, graphics, documents, video, audio, and other information in a flexible multi-user repository directly integrated with Sentinel Visualizer's analysis tools.
Host databases locally, on your network, or in the cloud. Microsoft SQL Server authentication and encryption capabilities help protect sensitive information and support your organization's database security requirements.
Sentinel Visualizer maximizes your screens so you can view and analyze your large networks in detail.
