Adaptive_Insights_300-200Gartner has positioned Adaptive Insights as a Leader in its 2016 Magic Quadrant for Strategic Corporate Performance Management Solutions report, reflecting a new category definition for CPM from Gartner. This is the first year that Adaptive Insights has appeared in the Leaders Quadrant of a Gartner CPM report and now holds the distinction of being the first and only cloud corporate performance management (CPM) vendor to ever ascend to Gartner’s Leader Quadrant.

The 2016 Magic Quadrant for Strategic Corporate Performance Management Solutions report evaluated 16 different software vendors on the following weighted criteria: market share, new license and subscription revenue, product strategy, customer satisfaction, and market understanding.

Highlights of the report:

  • Adaptive Insights is the ONLY pure-play SaaS vendor to be named in the Leaders Quadrant
  • Customers placed Adaptive Insights in the top quartile for their satisfaction with budgeting, planning, ease of implementation, ease of use, ongoing support, and for their overall satisfaction with both vendor and solution
  • Adaptive Insights has 3,000 customers in production, which compares favorably with other vendors listed in the Leaders quadrant
  • Adaptive Insights’ recent Adaptive Suite 2016.2 release has new features that allow for more complex planning models and the linking of planning dimensions across multiple applications

“We wish to congratulate Adaptive Insights for this achievement and recognition from Gartner,” stated Ethan Carlson, CEO and founder of Carlson Management Consulting, an Adaptive Insights Platinum Partner. “Adaptive Insights has been at the forefront of cloud technology, the customer experience and enabling productivity in the financial solutions space.  This report further validates their vision, execution and dedication to customer success.”
