The ‘Company to Beat’ is identified by a methodology based on, but not limited to, six key criteria that differentiate top vendors in the space: technical capabilities, customer implementations, potential customer base, business model, key partnerships, and the broader surrounding ecosystem. Assessment is performed by teams of expert analysts who collaborate to establish Gartner’s opinions. Analysts consider a variety of data and information sources including, but not limited to, interactions with end users and vendors, peer review, public data, Gartner proprietary data and analyst’s own explorations on the market. As the race evolves, Gartner’s assessment, insights, and advice about how to compete in the market will evolve too, and different vendors can become the ‘Company to Beat’.
