The Forrester Wave evaluation is an assessment of the top vendors in the market; it doesn't represent the entire vendor landscape.

FAQs

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

A: Vendors may appear in one evaluation and not the next due to strategic shifts such as no longer prioritizing the enterprise market, changing business direction after acquisitions, or refocusing on different market segments (e.g., SMB vs. enterprise). Vendors must meet specific inclusion criteria including meaningful market share as a primary account and contact data provider to enterprises, at least $10 million USD in annual revenue from B2B marketing and sales data, and mindshare among Forrester's enterprise clients.
