By now, you know that data is the lifeblood of digital transformation. But the true digital leaders have taken a step beyond by starting to understand the need to preserve this lifeblood with people, process and tools. That’s why data quality is so important in its ability to take control of the health of your data assets from diagnostic to treatment and monitoring with whistleblowers.With this respect, we are especially proud that.Strong Dynamics in the Data Quality MarketThis ability for organizations to deliver trusted data at speed across the organization and beyond has become imperative. In Gartner’s hype cycle for data management, “Data Quality Tools” was removed for its 2018 version compared to the previous year because it reached the plateau.However, Gartner pinpoints that: “This market is still among the fastest-growing in the infrastructure software subsector of the enterprise software market.
Recently, analyst house Gartner, Inc. Leaders, Challengers, and Niche Players ConsistencyGartner’s Magic Quadrants are broken down into 4 categories: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, and Niche Players. Each vendor is placed on the quadrant based on their strengths, weaknesses, market share, and user reviews, among other metrics. The 12 vendors that Gartner analyzed for this Magic Quadrant are Broadcom (CA Technologies), Cisco (AppDynamics), Dynatrace, IBM, ManageEngine, Micro Focus, Microsoft, New Relic, Oracle, Riverbed, SolarWinds, and Tingyun.Typically, you see a lot of movement of vendors among quadrants, especially in recent or developing markets. However, the 2019 APM Magic Quadrant has stayed astonishingly consistent with last year’s report. In terms of vendor placement, the Leaders and Challengers categories remain unchanged.
Gartner Monitoring Magic Quadrant
Broadcom, Cisco, Dynatrace, and New Relic maintain their Leader position, while IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Riverbed are still Gartner’s Challengers. Conversely, the Visionaries quadrant has no vendors in it, just like last year.The only changes in vendor placement is in the Niche Players category, which saw the addition of Micro Focus after they acquired the software division of HPE in 2017.
The quadrant also saw the removal of three vendors from last year: BMC, Correlsense, and Nastel Technologies. BMC is no longer offering an APM tool, while Correlsense and Nastel didn’t meet Gartner’s inclusion requirements this year. What does the empty Visionary quadrant mean?As we stated above, Gartner placed no vendors in the Visionary quadrant this year.
Gartner Network Monitoring Magic Quadrant
This continues a trend from last year’s Magic Quadrant. Visionaries typically have a higher completeness of their vision but a lower ability to execute. Gartner describes Visionaries as vendors who “provide products that have built a compelling plan to competitively address current and future APM suite market requirements, but whose current product portfolio may still be a work in progress.”The lack of Visionaries suggests that the APM market is currently stagnant in terms of development. Potentially, this could indicate that the current APM solutions are currently fully equipped to deal with developing problems. Do the current APM Leaders have a firm grasp on the market’s problems? Considering that all Leaders except for Broadcom have been named so for at least seven consecutive years, it’s definitely a possibility.Unless some new developments in the market come about, we don’t expect that next year’s Magic Quadrant will change much. Gartner concluded that new APM vendors continue to prop up, indicating that the market is healthy despite the lack of change in the quadrants.
However, they noted that upcoming APM vendors need to do more than just the bare minimum. New vendors need to introduce fresh capabilities or focus strongly on a specific niche in order to compete with established providers. Integrated all-in-one monitoring capabilitiesIn their research, Gartner uncovered a trend that APM vendors increasing their monitoring functionality across all spectrums. Vendors are currently focused on providing all-in-one monitoring suites to cover performance analysis across several areas, including applications, networks, databases, and servers. By broadening their monitoring capabilities, these vendors want to capitalize every monitoring market they can. Gartner suggests that enterprise choose carefully between an all-in-one tool suite for all their monitoring needs or cherry-picking the best of each monitoring solution sector.Our contains profiles on the top network performance monitor vendors, as well as questions you should ask providers and yourself before buying.Check us out on for the latest in NetMon news and developments!
The Magic Quadrant (MQ) is an influential series of reports published annually by the IT consulting firm Gartner, Inc. The latest edition of the MQ for Data Integration has been recently released (you can read it here) and it identifies several key trends that are shaping the data management market.In this post I will briefly review some of them from Denodo’s perspective.
