FAQs

Q: Why do vendors appear one year and not the next?

A: Vendors marked as nonparticipating vendors in the Forrester Wave graphic met the defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed only partially to the evaluation. These vendors are scored in accordance with Forrester's vendor participation policy and their positioning is published along with those of the participating vendors. The report notes that this is an assessment of the top vendors in the market and doesn't represent the entire vendor landscape.
