Gartner Names Winners of 2021 Voice of the Customer for Primary Storage Arrays

Gartner Names Four 2021 Cool Vendors in Storage and Hybrid Infrastructure

Gartner Names Winners of 2021 Voice of the Customer for Primary Storage ArraysAnalyst house Gartner, Inc. recently announced the winners of its new 2021 Peer Insights Voice of the Customer: Primary Storage Arrays. The report marks the latest addition to the researcher’s list of buyer-centric resources, which already includes its popular Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities. Gartner Peer Insights provides first-hand reviews of software and services contributed by enterprise users. The new report is an extension of Gartner’s Customer Choice Awards released in previous years.

Peer Insights Voice of the Customer does not include an expansive vendor listing or proprietary graphic to help organizations select the best tools. Rather, it provides reviews that go through a strict validation process to ensure they are authentic. Gartner Peer Insights are meant to be a complement to its expert-led research reports. At Solutions Review, we read the report, available here, and pulled out the key takeaways.

Our Buyer’s Guide for Data Storage helps you evaluate the best solution for your use case and features profiles of the leading providers, as well as a category overview of the marketplace.
