About Netvibes
Netvibes, founded in Paris in 2005 by Tariq Krim, began as a personalized dashboard and RSS feed reader, pioneering the use of widgets for a customizable web experience. The company secured $16 million in two funding rounds, with a significant Series A round of $15 million in 2006 led by Accel and Index Ventures. In February 2012, Dassault Systèmes acquired Netvibes, integrating its dashboard intelligence capabilities into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to enhance data-driven decision-making.
Read full description
The core of Netvibes' offering is a highly customizable dashboard that allows users to aggregate, monitor, and analyze information from a multitude of sources in real-time. This includes everything from news and RSS feeds to social media streams and internal enterprise systems. The platform caters to a diverse client base, ranging from individual consumers and small businesses to large enterprises and government agencies like the US Department of Energy and Fortune 500 companies such as Coca-Cola. Revenue is generated through a tiered subscription model, with plans for individuals, teams, and large enterprises, offering progressively advanced features.
For business clients, Netvibes positions itself as a dashboard intelligence platform for brand monitoring, social media analytics, and market research. Its enterprise version enables organizations to connect internal systems like Salesforce and ERP with external data, providing a holistic view of their operational and market landscape. A key feature, MisoData, allows users to perform drag-and-drop analysis to compare datasets and visualize correlations, for instance, between social media activity and sales figures. The platform also offers automated reporting and real-time alerts (PushMail) to keep users informed of significant events. Since the acquisition, Netvibes has been further integrated into Dassault Systèmes' portfolio, contributing to solutions for various industries by connecting data with virtual twin experiences and product lifecycle management processes.
