Gartner Reviews

I like the human addition to the Gartner offering. While a site like G2 crowd gives reviews, its harder to get direction without knowing what you are looking for. I see Gartner is adding more reviews which is a good extra feature and helpful for both sides of the search.

High costs for contract and the free reviews are limited.

Great in helping you really make the right decisions.

What software to buy for my business.

They are very exclusive, almost one to one support any time is required.

Sometimes they provide too much information and we can't handle, but isnt their fault.

If you need references to help you about the future of technology or tendencies, they will help you out.

Gartner provides industry leading reports on vendors, technologies, and trends. There is a very high level of detail within most reports.

You pay a high price to access the data.

Consider the full cost of the data you want.

The huge database of research is most helpful to me and my team. It's easy to find anything on the web, but to have a verified and trusted source of research helps us make confident decisions. The Analyst calls are a great resource as well. They're incredibly intelligent and focused on specific areas.

The platform is sometimes hard to navigate and the search tool could use improvement (limited filtering and sorting options). Furthermore, it is sometimes difficult to find the perfect Analyst for specific topic or project (also sometimes incredibly easy).

I like the unbias report that best because I wasn't so pressure to buy. Being unbias has a good market in IT.

What I don't like is the amount of articles to look at. I wish that I can filter my search to include key words to narrow my result more.

If you are stuck with forums or other websites to look for answers, give Gartner a try.

They offered thorough breakdowns of all software we were interested in.

They did not offer any real reviews which I find most helpful.

I would personally recommend G2 Crowd over Gartner. I’ve had positive results choosing software based on G2 user reviews.

Quality, trustworthly, industry standard

Requires license, can be difficult to search

Quadrant maps, and information on various important business sectors

That compnies that are customers are the only ones that seem to get good placement

Check out other options like G2Crowd for instance. Likely that vendors get fairer treatment and that analysis is more accurate

Content and quality of their research is awesome!

Hope there is a free account!! Only corporate accounts can leverage all their expertise and data!

Easy to distribute, very informative, non-biased approach.

Customers have to pay to play - this can be an issue for greenfield.

For someone looking to add new functionality to their IT landscape, the research provided by Gartner is invaluable. They stay on top of market trends and are able to provide a good picture of what similar companies in the same industry are doing.

There's not really much to dislike. The more data you have to help make an informed decision, the better.

The only thing I would say is don't let this be your only source of data for any research that you're doing. Gartner should definitely be one of the first sources that you take into consideration, but the bigger variety of sources you can look at the better.

The magic quadrant is awesome at helping me identify potential vendors.

It doesnt always provide enough information about global provisions.

available to complete research on long and short term goals

high cost - not sustainable for a non profit

easy n helpful info-graphic display

wide services

nothing much as it always user friendly

The ease of finding research, and documents created by experts or other professionals that provide you insight into new technologies or products.

Perusing through the copious amounts of data can be daunting. It can be very difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.

Gartner or Forrester, they are truly 1 in the same. Gartner will provide you a lot of good research material, but so will Google.
