Notable Context

IBM, Informatica, and Qlik declined to participate in the full Forrester Wave evaluation process. For vendors that are not full participants, Forrester uses primary and secondary research in its analysis, including public information, data gathered via briefings, and independently sourced customer interviews to score the vendor.


FAQs

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

A: We score vendors that met our defined inclusion criteria but declined to participate in or contributed only partially to the evaluation in accordance with our vendor participation policy and publish their positioning along with those of the participating vendors. We conduct primary research to develop a list of vendors to consider for the evaluation. From that initial pool of vendors, we narrow our final list based on the inclusion criteria.
