The Gigaom Radar is an analytical tool designed to help technology decision-makers quickly evaluate and compare solutions within a specific market sector. Unlike reports that focus on vendor market share, the Gigaom Radar emphasizes technical capabilities, execution, innovation, and alignment with user needs. It visually maps vendors on a chart based on their strengths across key features, business criteria, and their ability to deliver value and execute on their vision.

The chart is organized into concentric rings, with top-performing vendors positioned closer to the center, indicating higher execution and value.

The Radar distinguishes between leaders, challengers, and new entrants, providing a nuanced view of each vendor’s maturity, innovation, and feature set. Ultimately, the Gigaom Radar serves as a practical decision-making framework, enabling organizations to make informed, efficient, and risk-aware technology investments by highlighting the most relevant solutions for their specific requirements.
