Comparison
A modern alternative
to Cognite Data Fusion
Curiosity connects every industrial record; Cognite contextualizes operational data.
Who each tool is for
Different problems, honestly stated
Curiosity
For industrial and regulated teams whose knowledge sits in engineering systems and structured records, where the answer depends on how those records connect, and where the deployment has to run on their own infrastructure.
Cognite Data Fusion
An industrial DataOps platform with an industrial knowledge graph of assets, time series, events, documents and 3D models, and Atlas AI for building agents on it. It is strong in energy, utilities and process industries, delivered as a cloud service.
How Curiosity compares
Operational data, or the whole record
Cognite is very good at putting sensor and asset data in context. Curiosity is broader in what it connects (tickets, supplier notices, email, engineering change orders) and runs on your own infrastructure.
Every record, not only plant data
Sensor and asset data tell you what happened. The tickets, part records, supplier notices and field reports around them tell you why. Curiosity joins both.
Across vendors, not inside one
A plant runs systems from many suppliers. Curiosity connects them into one graph rather than adding intelligence to one vendor’s applications.
Tools your teams describe
Studio builds the app, dashboard or agent from a sentence, on the connected data, so a new tool is not a new project.
