Gartner’s Magic Quadrant: shallow analysis, even subjective and sometimes misleading.

At most it’s slightly informative as a market scoreboard that’s at least a year behind.

Advice: Don’t give it too much weight or mistake it for insightful tech product guidance.

Doh! Moot posting that here.

If you are here on Mastadon you are probably already tech-savvy, likely to consider alternatives and probably an open-source enthusiast.

Also, financial situation and customer base is important metrics for Gartner, so startups and more local vendors will never make it to the top right corner, even though they might be a much better choice.
