Gartner Magic Quadrant: Who's Winning In The Data And Machine Learning Space

If you're a buyer of technology stocks and solutions, you are most likely familiar with Gartner, Inc. (NYSE: IT) and the power it holds in the space. The firm, founded in 1979 by Gideon Gartner, now has a market capitalization of $10B and it employs a team of 1,900 analysts who glean insights from more than 380,000 client interactions each year. When it comes to industry research, Gartner is the 800-pound gorilla. And when Gartner publishes market research, people pay attention. Take for example the last pieces the firm released over the last two weeks: Gartner's February 2018 Magic Quadrant for Data Science and Machine-Learning Platforms and the Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms.
