The Problem

You've felt it too.

Q.01

Why does your analytics bill triple every year while the insights stay the same?

Q.02

Why do you need a $200/hour consultant to add a field to your data model?

Q.03

Why are you explaining to regulators where your customer data lives, and who else can see it?

Q.04

Why does 'real-time' still mean tomorrow's batch?

Q.05

Why do you have twelve different IDs for the same customer?

Q.06

Why is your 'cloud-native' platform suddenly an irreversible procurement decision?

For Data Workbench teams

Still running Data Workbench? Adobe stopped fixing it on December 31, 2023.

Perpetual-license holders can keep it running, but Adobe's end-of-life FAQ says it has no plans to fix bugs or security vulnerabilities. Every month it stays in production is another month of unpatched software holding your customer data.

Adobe's recommended path is Customer Journey Analytics in its cloud. Marver is the other path: the desktop power-analyst workflow your team relied on, on servers you already control.

The Workbench in Action

See what your data is doing.

Sixty-four seconds inside Marver Workbench: schema authoring, self-refreshing workspaces, and identity resolution, captured live.

What We Built

The platform that should have existed.

Live data collection, user-defined schemas, cross-channel identity resolution, and a desktop analyst workbench, running on infrastructure your team controls.

A real desktop workbench

A desktop app for the analysts who lived in Data Workbench. Explore paths, funnels and correlations interactively against your own server, not in a browser tab waiting on a cloud query queue.

Model your business

Define schemas that match the way your business actually works. Add fields and dimensions without a migration or a consultant; only breaking changes need a rebuild.

Unify the same customerAnalytics + CDP

Resolve identity across web, server-side and batch-file sources with deterministic matching, a full history of how each profile formed, and un-merge when a link is wrong.

Fresh data, not yesterday's batch

New events are queryable within about a minute at default settings, and open workspaces refresh themselves while you watch.

Unlimited analysts.No per-seat fees. No MAU tax. Your customer data stays in your network.
Multichannel by Design

Blend every channel into a single timeline for each customer.

Data Workbench was built to analyze customer interactions online and offline in one place. Marver keeps that model: you route live digital events and imported files into the datasets you define, and rows that share an email, customer ID or user ID resolve to the same customer before they get there.

Live digital channels

Web and Next.js SDKs, events forwarded from Google Tag Manager or Tealium, and any system that can POST JSON over HTTP.

Offline and batch sources

CSV, JSON and NDJSON files from CRM, point-of-sale or call-center systems. Each is a registered source with its own join key and consent purpose, and every import returns a receipt of rejected and consent-suppressed rows.

Reference data

Lookup dimensions that turn raw codes into business names through a direct mapping, a pattern, or an uploaded CSV: SKU to product family, store ID to region.

All your channels, one profile per customerAnalytics + CDP

Route your channels into a shared dataset and Marver links each customer's web visits, store receipts and support calls to a single profile, while every row keeps the channel it came from. Compare channels side by side, or follow one customer across all of them in Path Browser, Funnels and attribution.

How an Evaluation Works

Evaluate it on your hardware, on your schedule.

Request a license, start the server with Docker Compose, and point real traffic at it. Your customer data never touches our systems, and every question gets a written answer from the engineer who built it.

Inside your network

  1. Your channels

    Web and tag-manager events, server-side calls, and CRM, POS or call-center files

  2. Marver server

    Collection, processing and identity, on your hardware or cloud account

  3. Marver Workbench

    Desktop app on your analysts' machines. macOS today, Windows next.

Leaves your network

A license check, once a day

A license ID and an install fingerprint. Never customer or event data. It can go through your HTTP proxy. If it can't get through for 30 days, Marver goes read-only until it can. Air-gapped Enterprise licenses skip it entirely.

STEP 01

Request a license

Tell me your company and where the server will run. I reply with a signed 45-day license file and the Docker Compose bundle.

STEP 02

Run it on your infrastructure

Bring the server up on a Linux host (x86-64 or ARM64), or under Docker Desktop on a Mac or Windows machine. Analysts install the desktop Workbench and connect to it.

STEP 03

Keep it, or let it lapse

To continue, reply for an order form or invoice and drop in the paid license, with no reinstall. If you don't, Marver stops taking new events and you keep view, query and export access to everything it already holds. Raw events sit on your disks as plain NDJSON text, readable without Marver.

Best Fit

Best for teams with a real data ownership problem.

Marver is a strong fit when customer data control, identity quality, and analyst workflow matter more than buying another generic dashboard.

Best fit for

Teams with privacy, residency, or procurement constraints around customer data
Organizations that need user-level analytics across web, server-side, and offline events
Former Data Workbench teams who lost their desktop power-analyst workflow
Technical teams frustrated by per-seat pricing, vendor lock-in, or slow cloud analytics workflows

Probably not for

Very early startups with low event volume and no dedicated technical owner
Teams looking for a plug-and-play marketing dashboard in an afternoon
Buyers who want a fully managed multi-tenant SaaS product instead of owning the stack
Pricing

Pricing that scales with your deployment.

Not with your headcount.

No per-seat fees, no MAU pricing, and no event metering on paid tiers. Start with a full 45-day trial on your own hardware, then pick the tier that fits. Every tier includes unlimited users.

Try everything free for 45 days: the full platform, including CDP identity resolution, on your hardware. No card required, and no customer data leaves your network.

Air-gapped · Custom terms

Everything in Analytics + CDP, plus offline licenses for air-gapped networks, a TLS-on deployment profile, custom license terms, and help with your security review. SSO and high availability are on the roadmap.

Add the intern. Add the VP. Add the auditor. Add the data science team that rotates every six months. The price doesn't move.

Security questionnaires, order forms and purchase orders are handled by email.

Compliance

The questions your CISO will ask, answered by architecture.

Self-hosted architecture does not replace legal review, but it does give security, privacy, and procurement teams cleaner answers about where data lives, who controls it, and which vendors sit in the path.

Data residency

Keep customer data inside infrastructure and jurisdictions your team controls.

Architectural advantage

Vendor exposure

Reduce dependence on third-party analytics vendors, subprocessors, and external data paths.

Fewer third parties

Sensitive workloads

Run regulated workloads with TLS and mutual TLS between components, three-role access control, and an audit trail of configuration and identity changes.

Designed for scrutiny

Air-gap capable

Enterprise licenses can run fully offline, with no license server and no outbound calls.

Enterprise tier

Deletion and retention

Retention and deletion happen on storage you own. No vendor can read, copy, or delete your customer data.

Customer controlled

Audit posture

Make it easier to explain where customer data lives, who can access it, and how it is governed.

Why I Built It

The only person building this is the same person who had to buy it.

Andrew Chepurny

Founder & Principal Architect, Chip Hosting Solutions, LLC

I built and operated Adobe Data Workbench at enterprise scale for Fortune 500 organizations. When Adobe announced end-of-life, three clients called me in 48 hours. Telecom. Insurance. Financial services. All asking the same question:

"Where do we go now?"

Everything was cloud-only. The legacy thick-client power-analyst workflow (the one data scientists actually used to run path analysis, attribution, and statistical exploration) just disappeared. I didn't have an answer for them then. So I spent the last 5 years engineering one.

You are not buying a black box. You are buying the platform and written answers from the person who built it.

Deploy on bare metal or your own private cloud.

Some teams have the regulatory headroom to deploy on cloud infrastructure they fully control. If that's you, nothing stops you: your AWS account, your Azure tenant, your GCP project, or a local Linux server. The architecture doesn't care where it lives.

What matters is that you own the keys, you own the data, and you own the machine.

The difference isn't cloud versus on-prem. It's renting versus owning.
