Key Findings

• • Data movement topology and complex data transformation are among the highest-scoring critical capabilities in this evaluation. However, support for specialized data delivery styles such as data virtualization, streaming data integration and data replication are less consistently delivered across the range of products evaluated.
  • Active metadata and augmented data integration are the key capabilities supporting forward-facing use cases like data fabric design. The products in this evaluation show relatively lower levels of maturity compared to more traditional capabilities.
  • Products supporting data migration demands are entering the market rapidly, targeting cloud migration scenarios. All products evaluated for this use case meet or exceed expectations, complicating the vendor and product selection for end users. Therefore, tool selection usually comes down to licensing and pricing models.
