Clarifai, Enlitic, and Imagga were all named as IDC Innovators in the worldwide image analytics market for 2016.

Enlitic uses a combination of natural language processing and deep learning techniques to build a platform for image distillation and analytics to discover emerging insights within the healthcare sector. Imagga provides a high level of customization and scalability with its image analysis, focusing on customer-provided data for training sets rather than providing generic or focused web-crawling services.
