The latest Gartner Magic Quadrants for Data Warehouse Database Management Systems, Business Intelligence Platforms, CPM Suites have been released. You can find them respectively, here, here, and here. I don't have too much to say about these. Curt Monash has some interesting comments here and here. For the most part, I agree with Curt. These reports are interesting but not always reflective of what is happening in real world implementations.
For example, Sybase is ranked only slighly above HP in ability to execute, yet Sybase has about 1500 Sybase IQ customers and HP might have as many as 30 Neoview customers. And how many of those are in production? Maybe, none of them are.
Yes, Sybase IQ and HP Neoview are two different products with different strategies and target markets. That is exacltly the point. If you only looked at the MQ, then you would think these two products are close, but there would be nothing further from the truth.
