Gephi, a data visualization tool, has been widely used in various departments at Quaero. The Analytics department leverages Gephi to analyze traffic patterns across websites, specifically in the context of social networking. By mapping how individuals are connected on a website, Gephi provides valuable insights into social network analysis. Additionally, the IT Business Systems group and some members of the Research and Product Development teams have utilized Gephi to visualize data in innovative ways. Gephi proves its versatility by analyzing not only traditional business data like financials and customer support but also DNA sequence data. Colleagues in the lab, including scientists with a math background, have explored Gephi's capabilities in visually representing sequence data.
Furthermore, individual users have found value in Gephi for their own research endeavors. One user even published a paper in the Journal of Theoretical Biology that featured a network map plotted using Gephi. It is worth noting that Gephi's user base extends beyond Quaero as well. A medium-sized company with a considerable Data team employs Gephi for their analysis needs. In this setting, Gephi supports research on social networks such as analyzing the local food movement and studying real-world networks. Moreover, it has been used by a graduate student to examine social media networks and study patterns in hashtags during natural calamities.
Beyond academia and research, Gephi finds utility in other industries too. For instance, it has been employed for network analysis of relationships between Facebook and Twitter users for political and consumer brand analysis. Furthermore, Gephi is planned to be used for analyzing commonalities between patient pools and providers in insurance recovery auditing. It has also been utilized during networking events to identify key influencers and develop strategies for growing organizations.
In summary, Gephi offers a wide range of use cases across different departments within organizations. Whether it is visualizing social network data, analyzing DNA sequences, or studying patterns in social media networks, Gephi proves to be a versatile tool that empowers users with valuable insights and visualization capabilities.
Easy-to-use Interface: Many reviewers have found Gephi's interface to be very user-friendly and intuitive, allowing them to quickly access the tools they need without much training or learning required.
Simple Data Import Process: Several users have praised Gephi for its simple and easy data import process, especially when working with CSV files. The software automatically generates a graph once the relevant data is loaded and mapped together, making it convenient for users.
Flexible Visualization Capabilities: Numerous reviewers highly regard Gephi's visualization capabilities. They appreciate how easy it is to edit, drag, and customize visualizations in the software. The flexibility to change the size and color of nodes and edges allows for representing different characteristics of the graph effectively.
Export Feature Limitations: Several users have expressed frustration with the export feature in Gephi, as it only allows for taking screenshots and does not support exporting to an image or HTML document. This limitation has been mentioned by multiple reviewers who feel that it hinders their ability to share interactive maps outside of the Gephi file format.
Compatibility Issues between Versions: Some users have encountered compatibility issues when working with different versions of Gephi. They have reported that files built in earlier builds would not work in newer builds, forcing them to run separate versions of Gephi if they wanted to access new features while still being able to recreate models built in prior versions.
Lack of Comprehensive Documentation: Multiple reviewers have suggested that Gephi should improve its documentation. While there are third-party resources available, users find it difficult to locate comprehensive information on all the features and plug-ins within the product. The absence of official documentation has been highlighted as a drawback by several customers who believe that having an official resource would greatly benefit their experience with using Gephi.

Gephi for local food system social network analysis
I use Gephi in my research on social networks for the local food movement. Gephi allows me to write specific analysis programs and gather data on farm product movement through space in both distance and directionality while also analyzing the embeddedness of social networks.

I basically use it for my research on real world networks. My professor helped me in learning about Gephi initially. I use it for calculating centrality metrics on my edge lists. It is not used organizational level. My professor advised me to use this.

Gephi is great!
We used Gephi as the last phase of our big data analysis pipeline. After generating the desired metrics with Hadoop, and using a Java interface we could generate fully customized, sophisticated and intuitive pictures of our results, so that our customer could make sense of the huge complexity of the problem and the proposed solution to improve their business.

Gephi - Great Visualization Tool That Could Use Better Export Features
At Quaero, we've used Gephi primarily in our Analytics department for visualizations around social networking. We've used it to look at traffic patterns across websites. This helps as we have discussions with our clients to give them insight into site design and where changes in flow may need to be made. We've also used it to map how individuals are connected across the site, more of a classic social network analysis exercise.

Gephi - graph visualization's gateway drug

I am the only one using Gephi in my medium-sized company with a relatively large Data team. I needed a graph visualization software and, after looking briefly at a few reviews and features, I chose Gephi and love it. I'm still the only one using it at my company, though, because the application is still pretty advanced research for us.

Gui-Based Graph Builder That Anyone Can Use
Score 10 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Currently, Gephi is being used by the IT Business Systems group and perhaps a few members of Research and Product Development. The IT group is always looking for new and interesting ways to visualize our data, and Gephi was the first tool I found that had a quick and easy way to load and analyze data from a graph-centric point of view. The data i played with was a mixture of both traditional business data (financials, customer support, et al) and some DNA sequence data. I shared some of the graphing models with colleagues throughout the lab, and a few of the scientists with a math background gave Gephi for a test run as well. They too are also on the hunt for new/cool ways to visually represent sequence data.

I used Gephi as a student for an information systems/data-focused course. I chose an organization that ran events and then performed a network analysis on their networking event attendees in order to identify key influencers and strategies on how to grow the organization.

I worked for a digital media startup doing political and consumer brand analysis. I used Gephi for network analysis of relationships between facebook and twitter users to do GOTV outreach. I am now in insurance recovery auditing and plan to use it for analysis of commonalities between patient pools and providers who overcharge for services.

I used Gephi primarily during my graduate study for a course on Analyzing social media network. I have used Gephi along with Node XL for studying social media networks primarily Facebook and Twitter. It was also used during the final project for determining patterns in hash-tags used via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram during natural calamity and how that aided government and other organizations (radio channels) in sending important message across masses.
