What is the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™
Whether you’re new to the IT sector or an old pro, there’s always something we can take away from the Gartner Magic® Quadrant™. But what is the Magic Quadrant™? And why is important to manufacturers across the globe?
The Magic Quadrant is a graph that has evaluation criteria that help buyers understand where certain companies are by defining them as challengers, leaders, niche, and visionary solution providers. Each section has different pros and cons and selecting the leader may not fit into your specific buying needs but a different company on the graphic may.
Example of the Quadrant
What do the four sections mean?
- Leaders: execute their current visions and goals and have good standing for the future
- Visionaries: understand where the market is heading but lacks execution
- Niche: focus on a small segment of the market, or don’t out-innovate others
- Challengers: execute well, but may not understand market direction yet
What other items can you learn from the Magic Quadrant?
Gartner also provides relevant insight, company history, and background that can help you determine which company would be best for you. It also highlights the good, while providing any places where the solution could gain strength by improving items.
