About Gartner Magic Quadrant
A Gartner Magic Quadrant is a culmination of research in a
specific market, giving you a wide-angle view of the relative
positions of the market's competitors. A Magic Quadrant provides a
graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology
providers, in markets where growth is high and provider
differentiation is distinct:Leaders execute well against their
current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow; Visionaries
understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing
market rules, but do not yet execute well; Niche Players focus
successfully on a small segment, or are unfocused and do not
out-innovate or outperform others; Challengers execute well today
or may dominate a large segment, but do not demonstrate an
understanding of market direction.1
