360Quadrants powered by MarketsandMarkets™, the world’s only
comparison platform that combines expert analysis with crowdsourced insights,
has released a quadrant on Big
Data Security Solutions to help businesses make quicker and more informed
decisions. The first release of the quadrant has IBM, Oracle, and Symantec
sharing space as Visionary Leaders. 360Quadrants are generated post analysis of
companies (product portfolios and business strategy). Quadrants will be updated
every three months, and the position of vendors will reflect how buyers,
industry experts, and other vendors rate them on different parameters.
Quadrant highlights
100+ companies offering big data security solutions were
analyzed of which 25 companies were shortlisted and categorized on a quadrant
under Visionary Leaders, Innovators, Dynamic Differentiators, and Emerging
Leaders.
IBM
Corporation, Oracle,
Symantec, Amazon Web Services, Informatica, Check Point Software, Imperva, and
HPE have been identified as visionary leaders as they have established product
portfolios and a robust market presence and business strategy.
Gemalto, AlienVault, FireEye, Proofpoint, Hortonworks,
Thales Group, and Centrify have been identified as innovators as they have
focused product portfolios, but a mediocre business strategy.
McAfee, Microsoft, LogRhythm, and Cloudera have been

Pivotal, and Fortinet have been identified as emerging companies as they have a
niche product offering but poor business strategy.
The 360Quadrants platform provides the most granular big
data security solutions comparison between vendors.
Methodology
The methodology used to rank big
data security solutions companies involved the use of extensive secondary
research to identify key vendors by referring to annual reports, press
releases, investor presentations, white papers, and various related directories
and databases. 25 key vendors were shortlisted on the basis of their breadth of
product offerings, organization size, and other criteria. The scores and
weights for shortlisted vendors against each parameter were finalized post
research. After the ratings were
finalized, each vendor was placed in respective quadrants based on their score
in the product offering and business strategy parameters.
About 360Quadrants
360Quadrants
essentially compares companies in emerging technologies on 6 broad maturities:
product maturity, company maturity, use-case maturity, investment maturity,
technology maturity, and business outcome maturity. Each company is reviewed by
4 stakeholders—buyers, industry experts, other vendors, and MarketsandMarkets
analysts—to make it unbiased. 360 aims to simplify and de-risk complex purchase
decisions. Buyers get to personalize their quadrant against their specific
needs. The combined insights from peers, analysts, experts, and vendors cut the
bias and helps the buyer find the best fit solution. Vendors get to position
themselves to win ideal new customers, customize their quadrants, decide key
parameters, and position themselves strategically in a niche space, to be
consumed by giants and start-ups alike. Experts get to grow their personal
brand and increase their thought leadership. The 360 platform targets the
building of a social network that links industry experts with companies
worldwide.
360Quadrants has also launched quadrants in fields like
Cybersecurity Software, Perimeter Security, and Biometrics as a Service.
