The markets/categories I am in are not listed on Gartner Peer Insights. What markets/categories are opening next?

Our goal is to expand Gartner Peer Insights to cover many more MQ/MG aligned markets and GPI-Defined markets. We will continue to roll out new MQ/MG aligned markets and GPI-Defined markets in a controlled fashion. The list of MQ/MG aligned markets and GPI-Defined markets currently open for review is available here. You can suggest a new category/GPI-Defined market to be opened on Peer Insights by submitting this suggestion form. Your suggestion will then be evaluated by the Peer Insights team.

Today if there are products or services that do not fit within an existing MQ/MG aligned market or GPI-Defined market, then we may add these products to broad “Other” classifications. However, Vendors can still be denied for inclusion in these broad classifications if they don’t meet Gartner Peer Insights criteria for serving mid to large-size enterprise customers.

What is Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice?

In some MQ/MG aligned markets and GPI-Defined markets, Gartner Peer Insights recognizes the vendors that are the most highly rated by their customers through the Customers’ Choice distinction.

Read More about Customer Choice.

What is Gartner Peer Insights product audit activity?

Gartner Peer Insights product audit activity is the periodic process for reviewing a technology provider’s product/ service offering alignment to the MQ/MG aligned markets or GPI-Defined markets.

MQ/MG aligned market definitions are continuously evolving and GPI-Defined markets are periodically reviewed to ensure alignment is maintained. As a part of product audit activity, a dedicated Gartner Peer Insights team uses a set of criteria for evaluating if a technology provider’s products and/or services align with the Gartner Peer Insights MQ/MG aligned market and/or GPI-Defined market definitions.

For final determination if a product or service fits in a Gartner Peer Insights market, the following criteria are considered for Vendors’ products or services:

  • The product or service must have all capabilities described as “mandatory” in the GPI-Defined markets or MQ/MG aligned markets (as defined in Magic Quadrant or Market Guide research documents). If no capabilities are described specifically as “mandatory,” the product/service must have 50% or more of all other features or capabilities enumerated in the market definition and description

  • The Vendor must sell to mid to large-size enterprise clients. We do not include small business or consumer IT solutions since we are aligned to meet the needs of enterprise buyers.

Today if there are products or services that do not fit within an existing MQ/MG aligned market or GPI-Defined market then we may add these products to broad “Other” classifications. However, Vendors can still be denied for inclusion in these broad classifications if they don’t meet Gartner Peer Insights criteria for serving mid to large-size enterprise customers.

If the product has already been placed in any MQ/MG aligned market or GPI-Defined market, it cannot also be placed in a broad “Other” classification.

Please visit Community Guidelines for more information.
