What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?
The Gartner Magic Quadrant offers an overview of the competitive landscape within a specific market, giving you a clear view of where key players stand. It visually compares technology and service providers, highlighting the leaders in fast-growing markets with distinct differentiators. The Magic Quadrant uses a dynamic two-dimensional matrix to assess vendors based on two key factors: their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision. With 15 weighted criteria, it maps out each vendor’s relative strengths, helping you navigate the market with confidence and clarity.
