Composite score: 70% visibility (% of AI answers naming the brand) + 30% citation rate (% citing the brand's domain). Full methodology →

What we observed in this categoryauto-generated

Talend and Ataccama share the category lead with identical visibility scores of 50.0% and citation rates of 12.5%, placing them well above the category average visibility of 16.2%. The next tier, including Soda, Informatica, Collibra, Monte Carlo, and Great Expectations, clusters at 37.5% visibility, creating a clear two-tier structure. The gap between the top pair and the average is significant at more than 30 percentage points, meaning the majority of the 20 tracked brands are largely absent from AI-generated responses.

A notable divergence exists between being named and being cited. Informatica, Collibra, Monte Carlo, and Great Expectations all reach 37.5% visibility but hold a 0.0% citation rate, meaning Google AI Mode mentions them without linking to their domains. Soda achieves the same 37.5% visibility but carries a 12.5% citation rate, matching the top two brands on that metric. Acceldata presents the sharpest inversion: 0.0% visibility paired with a 12.5% citation rate, suggesting its domain appears as a source reference without the brand being named in responses.

Google AI Mode is the top engine for every brand in this dataset, indicating the audit is concentrated on that single surface. The cited sources list is notably varied, including Gartner, YouTube, Reddit, and smaller specialist domains such as ovaledge.com, gable.ai, and julius.ai. Ataccama's own domain, ataccama.com, appears in the top cited sources list, which likely contributes to its strong composite score of 38.8 and reinforces how direct domain citation supports overall AI presence in this category.

How to read this ranking

Four things worth knowing before you act on the numbers above. These are the same definitions across every industry page — for category-specific observations, see the What we observed section above (where available) and the per-brand insights inline in the ranking.

Visibility = being named

A brand's visibility % is the share of AI answers that mention it by name in the response prose. This is who AI engines actively recommend to the buyer.

Citation rate = being trusted

Citation rate is the share of AI answers that include the brand's domain as a clickable source link. This is what the AI treats as authoritative evidence — different from being named.

Top engine differs by brand

The "top engine" column shows which AI surface each brand performs best on. Big gaps between a brand's score across engines usually points to specific content or schema gaps.

Rankings move month to month

AI engines re-crawl and re-rank on shorter cycles than classical search. We re-audit every brand on this list at least every 30 days and refresh this page automatically.
