The GigaOm Radar

The GigaOm Radar synthesizes our practitioner-led, data-driven analysis of a technology sector. GigaOm analysts select solutions based on support for table stakes—features we expect all solutions in the sector to provide. They then score both the capabilities that differentiate solutions (key criteria) and the non-functional requirements that impact the value solutions have to the organization (evaluation metrics). Vendors are positioned on the Radar chart based on their relative scores.

The closer to the center of the Radar chart a vendor sits, the better its execution and value, with top performers occupying the inner Leaders circle.

“

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.”
