Approximately 80% of enterprise technology decisions lead to post-purchase regret. Technology can quickly become outdated, so it’s crucial that decision-makers continuously evaluate and adapt their tech stack to ensure they have tools that will remain effective in the rapidly changing tech landscape.  

Each year, Gartner releases its Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools, an industry-leading report that helps organizations understand where the market is heading and how the top vendors compare. 

But why is the Magic Quadrant so important? 

 

Unbiased expert analysis 

The Magic Quadrant offers an independent and thoroughly researched analysis of the top vendors in the enterprise architecture space. Gartner evaluates each vendor on two key criteria – completeness of vision and ability to execute – providing a clear view of the market leaders, challengers, visionaries, and niche players. 

 

Essential market insights 

The report dives deep into market trends, technological advancements, and the challenges that businesses are facing today. If you’re tasked with making decisions about enterprise architecture tools, having this level of insight can help you: 

  • Benchmark your current solution 
  • Identify new opportunities for innovation 
  • Avoid potential pitfalls with underperforming tools 

 

Data-driven decisions 

Choosing the right enterprise architecture tool is a major decision with long-term implications. The Magic Quadrant empowers you to make a data-driven decision, comparing vendors side-by-side with real-world data, helping you choose a tool that aligns with your business goals.
