Standing by category

Every category where a model named DataRobot for a mid-market B2B company. Share is first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts; rank is within every product named in that category.

Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for DataRobot yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

How each model treated DataRobot across every prompt where it was named for a mid-market B2B company. Twelve models, six prompts per category.

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you need rapid, governed predictive models: DataRobot's AutoML and compliance features can accelerate time-to-value.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · ML platforms · comparative prompt · alternative
“Consider AutoML platforms (DataRobot, SageMaker Autopilot) when you need rapid model development” Kimi K2 · ML platforms · comparative prompt · alternative
“Highly intuitive visual interfaces designed to bridge data scientists and business analysts.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ML platforms · comparative prompt · alternative
“Enterprise AutoML; automates model building, tuning, and deployment for non-experts” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ML platforms · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“DataRobot is famous for its opaque and highly expensive enterprise licensing” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ML platforms · negative prompt · hard negative
“enterprise low-code platforms like Alteryx or DataRobot charge steep enterprise licensing fees” Gemini 3.5 Flash · ML platforms · budget prompt · soft negative
“premium-priced — restrictive licensing for smaller teams/startups; heavy enterprise focus” DeepSeek V4 Flash · ML platforms · negative prompt · soft negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named DataRobot. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, four of the twelve in this edition, so these counts come from 56 of the 70 answers that named DataRobot and are not a share of its labels.

Is this your product?

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when DataRobot's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as DataRobot, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at datarobot.com is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
