\"D\u00e9j\u00e0<\/a>If you follow Data Integration, then you probably already know that Gartner<\/a> has released its 2014 Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools. It\u2019s a fairly long document and like most people, you won\u2019t have the time to thoroughly read\u00a0it. So here’s a bit of advice: If you still have last year’s report, then just skim it . . . Not that much has changed. Below is a brief review that summarizes the few\u00a0changes in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools between 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n

If you look at the Gartner Magic Quadrant, you\u00a0can see that Informatica is now positioned at the upper-right most spot in the Gartner Magic Quadrant (\u201cLeaders\u201d), by overtaking IBM in “ability to execute”, making them the outright leader in both execution and vision in the data integration space. Informatica is a company striving to create broader solutions and has launched or will be launching more comprehensive offerings\u00a0with a breadth of functionality and usage in the near future. https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/data-integration\/informatica-new-tools-and-platforms-the-future-is-looking-broader\/<\/a><\/p>\n

In the upper-left quadrant (\u201cChallengers\u201d) Microsoft made a move up in its \u201cability to execute\u201d passing incumbents Oracle and SAP. This is largely due to some key factors. First, their aligned support of data and process-oriented integration which offers access to almost any commercially available relational database sources and targets making them extremely flexible. Second, their user-friendly interface design allows users to grasp it quickly enhancing productivity and time to value.<\/p>\n
