LEVERAGE GIGAOM RADAR REPORTS

GigaOm Radar Reports build on the decision-making framework of Key Criteria reports to enable IT leadership to make informed decisions about technology.

A GigaOm Key Criteria report analyzes the most important features of a technology category to help IT professionals understand how solutions may impact an enterprise and its IT organization. These features are grouped into three categories:

Table Stakes: Assumed Value. The features that every solution in a sector should have, forming a baseline for consideration.

Key Criteria: Differentiating Value. The most critical features that define solution capability, impact, and value.

Emerging Technologies: Future Value. Advanced functionality entering the space that can impact downfield value.

Over time, advances in technology and tooling enable emerging technologies to evolve into key criteria, and key criteria to become table stakes.

A vital tool for technology acquisition success

The Key Criteria report enables CXOs, Architects, and IT Directors and Managers to quickly master a solution sector and identify products that are best for their business requirements.

Helping Brands Grow

“

I am a big fan of your service. Radar reports probably save a good week’s worth of research into the players in the market, and who we actually need to care about. It definitely delivers additional value because I’m getting that wider field view than just the vendors we know. We end up making better decisions for something that’s more feature rich. Realistically, it probably adds an additional 20-30% value to our research process. GigaOm Radar reports are super cost effective for the areas I need information on. ”

“

Leader in emerging cloud and data technologies. I like the radar and key criteria reports you have produced. Lots of information presented in a ‘easy to consume’ format”

Large Energy Company

“

GigaOm’s Radar is distinctive – it’s looking at the product attributes rather than the market share of a company. Market share is a ‘rear view’ metric – and isn’t very useful given the pace of technological change.”

Digital native with top experts on new technologies like Object storage, Kubernetes, AIOps.”
