Frequently Asked Questions

Unravel leverages a knowledge graph that integrates a wide range of cloud and operational data to deliver precise, actionable insights. Our AI’s deep learning capabilities are continuously enhanced by analyzing vast datasets across various cloud environments, keeping us at the forefront of emerging trends in cost management.

The knowledge graph encompasses metadata on cloud spending, resource utilization, workload characteristics, and configuration settings across multiple cloud platforms. This rich, interconnected data enables Unravel’s AI to generate accurate, targeted recommendations that effectively address real-world challenges in cloud operations.

Unravel prioritizes data privacy by ensuring that no data is sent back to your data warehouse, data lake, or lakehouse. Any data transfers are fully controlled by your team and occur only when explicitly configured. Our platform collects only job execution and configuration-related metadata, which is then utilized to generate tailored insights and actionable recommendations. This design upholds strict privacy standards while delivering valuable performance and cost optimization guidance.

Unravel is committed to security and focused on keeping our clients and their data safe. The solution designed by Unravel manages customer data based on the five SOC trust services criteria — security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. We use TLS encryption, the same standard used by secure websites, to secure data in transit. Unravel is SOC 2-compliant, and has earned a Service Organization Control (SOC) 2, Type II certification.
