SentVi (formerly Sentinel Visualizer)

SentVi, formerly Sentinel Visualizer, is link analysis and data visualization software from FMS, Inc. for investigations, intelligence analysis, litigation support, fraud analysis, and related research. It converts structured records into interactive relationship maps that show connections among people, organizations, places, events, phone numbers, accounts, transactions, and other user-defined entities.

Analysts can import data from Excel, CSV, Microsoft Access, and SQL Server sources, then use dataset-building and search tools to select relevant entities and relationships. SentVi supports automated and manually arranged link charts, shortest-path and all-path analysis, network clustering, cut-point identification, entity and relationship weighting, and social network analysis metrics. Timeline filtering and geospatial views help analysts examine when and where communications, transactions, incidents, and other relationships occurred.

SentVi can be used with call detail records, financial transactions, case files, email metadata, location records, and other investigative datasets. Charts and supporting data can be exported for reports or shared through the free SentVi Reader, allowing people without a paid license to examine completed analyses and associated metadata.

The Windows-based application stores data in Microsoft SQL Server and supports single-user and multi-user knowledge bases. Deployment options include local desktops, internal network servers, cloud-hosted environments, browser-based data retrieval, and remote application access. SentVi is available in Standard, Professional, Premium, and Ultimate editions, with perpetual, concurrent-use, enterprise, and SaaS licensing options. A free trial is also available.
