Gartner Magic Quadrant Advanced Analytics: Fast Growth Continues
Summary
The Gartner Magic Quadrant Advanced Analytics report shows the market is growing quickly for platforms that use data and algorithms to predict, prescribe, optimize, and simulate. Gartner also noted that Dell had executed an ambitious roadmap during the past year by increasing the functionality of Statistica and at the same time making it easier to use for citizen data scientists. "SAS has been the most common choice for organizations seeking an advanced analytics environment and it has high market penetration in all verticals," the Gartner report found. The Swiss company offers a free, open source, desktop-based analytics platform and a commercial, server-based solution for the enterprise that can be deployed on-premises or in a private cloud. "We expect strong interest and investment in advanced analytics platforms to continue as organizations hire more data scientists to build capabilities that help foster better decision making and improve business outcomes," Gartner reports.
