## What is Marple Insight? <a href="#what-is-marple" id="what-is-marple"></a>

Marple Insight is a web-based platform for interactive time series data analysis. We believe that to properly understand your data you need to play with it. That is exactly what Marple Insight lets you do!

Designed for working with high-frequency test and measurement data, Marple Insight integrates effortlessly with databases like PostgreSQL, InfluxDB, Azure Data Explorer, Timescale, and more. This ensures that engineers can analyze data where it already resides—no more time wasted on transfers or fragmented storage.

## Why Marple Insight exists

There are plenty of tools for making dashboards, for business intelligence and there are plenty of plotting libraries. But there are barely any tools for time series data analysis in the engineering world!

Right now engineers and scientists are writing their own complicated analysis scripts in MATLAB or Python. Scripts that are able to load some data, read a few signals, and make a bunch of plots.&#x20;

But these scripts are fragile and cumbersome to work with, and every change usually requires a re-run of the script. Does this sound familiar? Try Marple Insight today and see how much easier and efficient your workflow becomes!
