Gather objective knowledge about DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core and DataRobot AutoML

On this page we are showcasing the main features of our 100% vendor-independent BI & Analytics survey about the software vendor DataRobot and its product portfolio (such as DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core and DataRobot AutoML). DataRobot BI & Analytics scores better in our study than Dundas but slightly worse than Infor. DataRobot is outstanding in artificial intelligence and comes out the least strong in the category multidimensional models. We have been able to establish this objectively. Within the context of BI & Analytics, we have put together the main advantages and disadvantages of DataRobot platform, and listed them by theme (BI, Big Data, data analytics, AI and data science). We also point out the key functionalities of the software products such as DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core and DataRobot AutoML et cetera.
