I love that chart on the second to last page. The axis are labeled "Completeness of vision" and "Ability to execute".

- athrun 11y agoThis is Gartner's famous "Magic Quadrant".
- chris_wot 11y agoWhich is largely used for propaganda and often doesn't exactly mean very much.
- scholia 11y agoThe Magic Quadrant is just the eye-catching bit of what is generally a fairly substantial (15,000-25,000 word) report.
- scholia 11y agoYou can download the whole report from Microsoft (not surprising, since it came out top): https://info.microsoft.com/CO-SQL-CNTNT-FY16-09Sep-14-MQOperational-Register.html https://info.microsoft.com/CO-SQL-CNTNT-FY16-09Sep-14-MQOper... I've posted a big version of the Magic Quadrant here: http://imgur.com/3qFwPd6 http://imgur.com/3qFwPd6
- mcguire 11y agoI'm assuming Oracle is in the lower left?
- Spooky23 11y agoGartner identifies Micrsoft and Oracle as the leaders on the top right. Mongo, EnterpriseDB and Redisnare in the upper right as well.
- mistermann 11y agoIt's kind of funny that they included that when Microsoft is beating them on both axes (and with a far lower TCO). I have this feeling that Microsoft is going to be announcing some really big things in the data management area in the next 12 months.
- mrweasel 11y agoWhile they did add EnterpriseDB, they left out Postgresql. It also seems like the chart is stuffed with a ton of databases you wouldn't even consider, just to make it look like they are more ahead than is really the case. It's not that the databases in the lower-left aren't any good, they just fulfill very different roles.
