SentVi Overview

SentVi is a Windows-based program that provides data visualization, analysis and knowledgebase management all within one product. Formerly, Sentinel Visualizer, SentVi produces interactive dynamic link charts, timeline and geospatial views, and provides a variety of analysis tools including Social Network Analysis, temporal analysis and entity and relationship weighting. SentVi includes a multi-user knowledgebase for efficiently and economically storing analysis data.

SentVi is secure and private. We never see or touch your data. The Windows version of SentVi runs on your PC and hardware, not ours and can be completely disconnected from the Internet.

SentVi is available in 4 editions (Standard, Professional, Premium, and Ultimate) to better meet your needs and requirements.

Link Analysis

With Microsoft SQL Server, SentVi supports millions of entity and relationship records. Turn rows and columns into visual data revealing multi-level hierarchical relationships and hidden links among people, places and events. Send all your data to the diagram or use search features like the Dataset BuilderThe Dataset Builder lets you select all or some of the data in your database with increasing levels of refinement. and Advanced Dataset Builder The Advanced Dataset Builder Wizard offers more options for selecting entities and relationships including names, numeric and date range values, and document text content. to select a subset of data for your link chart. Pick entities and relationships by their specific characteristics and links to each other.

You can start big and drill down to details, or expand from individual entities one degree at a time until you include their entire network. Thousands of data points can be added to your diagram in a highly optimized, scalable, and shareable manner.

SentVi provides a variety of automated layout functions that make it easy to quickly organize networks into different configurations. Layouts include incremental, hierarchical, circular, elliptical, rectangular, square, triangular, orthogonal, and force-directed. Entities can also be grouped by their entity type.

Additional options control the entity sort order, multiple network displays, and other customizations.

Data Analysis

After using search to add entities and relationships on a Visualizer diagram, data analytics are available to find, filter, add, color and analyze.

  • Find an entity on the diagram by searching for its name
  • Easily reduce the diagram to just the selected entities with or without their connected entities
  • Only display linked or unlinked entities
  • Filter the data by removing entities and relationships based on their characteristics
    • Filter entities based on their details like Entity Type
    • Filter entities based on numeric range values (low and high values)
    • Filter relationships on their details like Relationship Type
    • Filter relationships based on numeric range values
    • Use the same data refinement to limit new data retrieved via Get Links
  • Replace Entities based on their entity and relationship types
  • Color and size entities on a gradient scaled based on their metrics
  • Color and set the thickness of relationship lines on a gradient scaled based on their metrics
  • Select two entities and perform Shortest Path and All Path analysis between them
  • Identify entity cut-points to disrupt a network
  • Calculate Cliques of closely connected entities within a network
  • Select and filter individual networks
  • Calculate metrics like Social Network Analysis (SNA)
  • Apply date information for Temporal filtering and analysis

Training, Mentoring, and Consulting Services

Though you can use SentVi “right out of the box”, many people purchase services at the same time that they purchase the software in order to start using Sentinel Visualizer as quickly and as effectively as possible.

Services (training) are especially important if you have a complex set of data that you’d like to visualize. Our team can provide training on how to use the software as well as providing assistance on how to organize and configure your data in order to prepare it for import into the SentVi database.

You can also purchase services at a later time, on an as-needed basis, if you have “How Do I …?” questions. Contact us for current training and services pricing.

All SentVi editions include Microsoft SQL Express

Licensing

The Software License prices reflect a one-time purchase of a perpetual software license. Buy it once, it’ll work forever even if you don’t purchase the annual support plan. In general, there are two licensing options:

  1. Buy a license for each computer
  2. Share one or more licenses among multiple computers. (Concurrency option)

You must have administrative rights on your computer to install the SentVi software. For the Premium and Ultimate Editions, the client must have “network discovery” turned on to work with a shared SQL Server database.

As an example, if you buy one license without concurrency, you can install Sentinel Visualizer on one computer. If you want to operate Sentinel Visualizer on two different machines simultaneously and without restriction, you’ll need two licenses. Three computers? You’ll need three licenses. And so on. Annual software support is optional for Individual (non-concurrent) licenses.
The Concurrency option lets you install and share one or more licenses on an unlimited number of computers (without a dongle!). This is a low-cost alternative to buying a separate license for each computer.

The number of concurrent (simultaneous) users is limited by the number of licenses purchased. If you buy one license, then only one computer at-a-time can operate Sentinel Visualizer (even though the software can be installed on many computers). Two licenses allow two concurrent (simultaneous) users, etc.

There are two requirements for Concurrency:

While operating Sentinel Visualizer, the computer must have a constant, live connection to the Internet.
An annual support contract must be maintained.

If your annual support subscription lapses, Concurrency is terminated. You can contact us to convert the license to a perpetual license that is installed on one computer.

Note 1: During the Sentinel Visualizer installation, we generate an anonymous identifier for each unique installation. When concurrency is enabled, we contacts our concurrency server periodically, passing this anonymous encrypted identifier. No machine identifiable information is exchanged between the Sentinel Visualizer client and our concurrency server. Sentinel Visualizer never sees or touches user data … we check only that the license is valid and that the number of current users does not exceed the number of licenses.

Note 2: If you need to operate Sentinel Visualizer on a portable computer “in the field,” then that portable computer must have an Internet connection to use a Concurrent license. If the computer does not have a constant Internet connection, it will need an individual Sentinel Visualizer license (without Concurrency). You can purchase concurrent and non-concurrent licenses in any combination/quantity.

To share a database between two or more users for multi-user collaboration (regardless of whether or not you have Concurrency), you must own the Premium or Ultimate Edition. Those editions allow you to create a Microsoft SQL Server database on your network server or the cloud, rather than on your computer’s local hard drive. Your SQL Server administrator can set the security settings to limit the users. SentVi respects those security settings.

You do not need a SentVi license for the database server but you do need the appropriate Microsoft SQL licenses for your server and computers. Please contact us if you’d like a price-quote for Microsoft SQL Server.

If, for security reasons, you do not want certain users to have access to one or more databases, the Premium or Ultimate version also allows you to create databases on your local hard drive similar to the Standard and Professional versions.

Software as a Service (SAAS) is a subscription alternative to purchasing a perpetual license of the SentVi Premium Edition. Just pay for the time period you need.

You can install SentVi on multiple PCs, but can only run it on one PC at a time (per subscription).

SentVi SAAS is a desktop solution that requires an Internet connection.
