Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms 2022

 Today’s analytics and BI platforms are augmented throughout and enable users to compose low/no-code workflows and applications.

Analytics and business intelligence (ABI) platforms enable less technical users, including businesspeople, to model, analyze, explore, share and manage data, and collaborate and share findings, enabled by IT and augmented by artificial intelligence (AI). ABI platforms may optionally include the ability to create, modify or enrich a semantic model including business rules.

ABI platform functionality includes the following 12 critical capabilities: Security, Governance , Cloud-enabled analytics, Data source connectivity, Data preparation, Catalog, Automated insights, Data visualization, Natural language query, Data storytelling, Natural language generation & Reporting

Microsoft, Tableau & Qlik are the leaders in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms 2022.

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems 2021

 By 2025, cloud preference for data management will substantially reduce the vendor landscape while the growth in multicloud will increase the complexity for data governance and integration.

Gartner defines the cloud DBMS market as follows. Core capabilities are that vendors fully supply provider-managed public or private cloud software systems that manage data on cloud storage. Data is stored in a cloud storage tier (such as a cloud object store, distributed data store or other proprietary cloud storage infrastructure). Optionally, they may cater to multiple data models and data types — relational, nonrelational (document, key value, wide column, graph), geospatial, time series and others.

AWS (RDS, Redshift, Athena, EMR, Nitro..), Microsoft (Synapse, Cosmos, HDInsight..), Oracle, Google (Google Cloud SQL, Cloud Spanner, Cloud Bigtable, BigQuery, Dataproc), SAP, IBM, Teradata, Snowflake, Alibaba cloud (PolarDB, MyBase)  and Databricks (LakeHouse) are the leaders in "Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems 2021".

Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Solutions, Q3 2021

Data protection and privacy regulations such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been major drivers for data governance initiatives and the emergence of data governance solutions.They have expanded the scope of data governance from an initial technical focus (master data management, data catalogs, data quality, etc.) to include data privacy, protection, and sovereignty. But organizations have an ever-increasing appetite to leverage their data for business advantage, either through internal collaboration, data sharing across ecosystems, direct commercialization, or as the basis for AI-driven business decision-making. While doing so, organizations must take care to maintain employee, partner, and customer trust in their approach of leveraging data (and technology fueled by data). This requires data governance and data governance solutions to step up once again and enable data-driven businesses to leverage their data responsibly, ethically, compliantly, and accountably.
