Here’s the new Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems, which ranks the top 20 global leaders in the market—from AWS, Microsoft and Oracle to Snowflake, SAP and Databricks.

The 20 Leading Cloud Database Management Market Leaders

Companies of all shapes and sizes are investing heavily in their cloud database management systems with 20 vendors standing above the rest, according to Gartner’s new Cloud Database Management Systems Magic Quadrant.

From cloud giants like Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft and Oracle, to innovators like Teradata, Snowflake and Databricks—cloud database management is top of mind for many businesses.

By 2025, 90 percent of new data and analytics deployments will be through an established data ecosystem, causing consolidation across the data and analytics market, according to IT market research firm Gartner.

“The pace of change continues,” Gartner said in its Magic Quadrant. “There is constant improvement in each of the [vendors’] products as each seeks to fill in the gaps versus its competitors.”

Key trends in the cloud database management systems (DBMS) market include enabling multicloud operations, open-source interface adoption, and the consolidation of advanced analytical and transactional functions. DBMS price performance in the cloud remains the top priority for customers.

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant For Cloud DBMS

To make Gartner’s 2022 Cloud Database Management Systems Magic Quadrant, vendors need to fully supply provider-managed public or private cloud software systems that manage data on cloud storage.

Companies must help customers optimization strategies designed to support transactions and analytical processing for use cases such as data lake, data warehouse, streaming analytics, lightweight transactions and stream event processing,

Gartner’s Magic Quadrant ranks vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision and places them in four categories: Niche Players (low on vision and execution), Visionaries (good vision but low execution), Challengers (good execution but low vision) and Leaders (excelling in both vision and execution).
