DataRobot BI & Analytics scores better in our study than GoodData but slightly worse than Hitachi Vantara. Of all the categories in our research, DataRobot has the best performance in artificial intelligence and has the worst score in 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 MLOps et cetera.

How does DataRobot BI & Analytics score on different parts?

In our survey, we also judged all relevant products of DataRobot software. More than 720 evaluation criteria were examined.

Behind each product, we show the version numbers, the most recent versions are mentioned first.

What are the licensing costs of DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core, and DataRobot MLOps?

It is difficult to determine exactly what a license of DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core, and DataRobot MLOps costs because it depends on the country, the number of users (or the number of CPUs in the case of server software), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you do this a few weeks before the end of DataRobot’s fiscal quarter, you may be in for a decent discount. In addition, nowadays it is recommended that you run the software in the cloud. You then only pay for what you actually use in resources. The purchase cost of DataRobot Artificial Intelligence, DataRobot Core, and DataRobot MLOps may not be the most important costs, but maintenance and support do show up in your budget every year.

What makes DataRobot BI & Analytics worth watching
