Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms 2008


Early this year, the Gartner published its report called Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms 2008. This report is Gartner's opinion about the market of BI and their main vendors.

It is interesting how they divide the vendors in four quadrants, considering the ability to execute and the completeness of vision:
- leaders (Cognos, Business Objects, SAS, Microstrategy, Microsoft, Oracle)
- challengers (SAP, Information Builders)
- niche players (Actuate, Panorama Software, Board International, Arcplan)
- visionaries (Tibco Spotfire, QlikTech)

They define the market overview and also the strengths and the cautions of each BI vendor mentioned.
