FAQs

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

A: This is the inaugural Magic Quadrant for CPaaS, replacing the previous Market Guide format. Therefore, there are no vendors added or dropped from a previous Magic Quadrant edition. Vendors were evaluated based on meeting specific inclusion criteria including minimum revenue thresholds ($350 million or more, or $250-349.99 million with 40% growth), geographic presence across at least two major regions, core CPaaS capabilities (SMS, voice, DID, phone number registration, identity confirmation, and at least one rich communications messaging medium), and customer service/support capabilities.
