NodeX

 

node XL

NodeX makes analysis and visualization of network data easier for you by combining the common analysis and visualization functions with the familiar spreadsheet. This tool simplifies the process of network data analysis, making it easier to convert edge lists and incidence matrices into useful visualizations. It doesn't have all of the flexibility of Gephi in terms of visualization but can produce some quality visualizations. It also interfaces directly with the SNAP library for analysis which gives it access to a good set of efficient algorithms for metric calculations. The main advantage of NodeXL is in its data collection rather than in its visualization or analysis functionality. For example, it can interface with the Twitter API well. Many of the use cases for NodeXL involve the visualization and analysis of social media data.
