We look forward to building on our momentum by delivering even more value to existing and future customers of Looker as we transition into a new year full of new opportunities. Customers such as Fox and Wix have partnered with Looker to leverage the power and flexibility of our platform to deliver innovative solutions that have improved business outcomes by enabling all of their employees and customers to make data-driven decisions. We believe that this recognition by Gartner is a result of our relentless focus on the success of our customers coupled with an ongoing commitment to building a differentiated platform that enables customers to deliver new and innovative data experiences that go far beyond traditional BI. Gartner has placed Google (Looker) highest on execution and farthest to the right on vision in the Challenger quadrant. We are also very proud that we have been able to maintain our focus on customer success and support while simultaneously integrating Looker into the Google Cloud ecosystem without the disruption that is typical of an acquisition. Looker’s differentiation continues to be our modeling layer-enabled data platform designed to deliver a broad range of data experiences, including data visualization and exploration, to a diverse community of users.Įveryone here at Looker is humbled by, and extremely grateful for, the trust that customers have placed in us to help them solve the unprecedented and complex challenges they faced last year. This year is no exception as Gartner notes in the report that the once-disruptive force of data visualization is now considered a commodity that vendors no longer differentiate on. The BI and analytics platform market is in a constant state of change and evolution, which creates both opportunities and challenges for vendors trying to differentiate from the competition. Today, we’re proud and very excited to announce that Google (Looker) has been recognized in the Gartner 2021 Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms1 for the fourth year running and has been named a Challenger for the second straight year. This is true in a typical year, but it is even more critical this year as companies search for modern data and analytics products to help them rapidly transform their businesses in response to the disruptions that impacted every industry across the globe in 2020. This report plays an integral role in helping companies understand the current market landscape and deciding which vendors are best suited to meet their needs. In an environment as dynamic and rapidly evolving as the BI and analytics platform market, the release of the annual Gartner Research Magic Quadrant is always highly anticipated.
