AWS recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms

We are thrilled to announce that Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence (ABI) Platforms.

This recognition marks the second consecutive year AWS has been named a Challenger, which we believe reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in the ABI space.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant evaluates 20 ABI companies based on their Ability to Execute, which measures a vendor’s capacity to deliver its products or services effectively, and Completeness of Vision, which assesses a vendor’s understanding of the market and its strategy for future growth, according to Gartner’s report, How Markets and Vendors Are Evaluated in Gartner Magic Quadrants.
