Magic Quadrant for Desktop as a Service
Vendors or products added in this year’s report may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
Vendors or products dropped from one year to the next may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
The inclusion criteria has changed from 2023. In 2023, a vendor could qualify if 25,000 virtual desktops with GPUs or 250,000 virtual desktops with CPUs were available. In 2024, vendors could qualify with 100,000 CPU-enabled virtual desktops. Gartner expects this number to rise in future years.
A: We review and adjust our inclusion criteria for Magic Quadrants as markets change. As a result of these adjustments, the mix of vendors in any Magic Quadrant may change over time. A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate that we have changed our opinion of that vendor. It may be a reflection of a change in the market and, therefore, changed evaluation criteria, or of a change of focus by that vendor.
