“Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Protection
Platforms” by Peter Firstbrook, Eric Ouellet, February 1, 2016
Magic
Quadrants provide a graphical comparative positioning of technology and service
providers where market growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct.
Magic Quadrants depict markets in the middle phases of their life cycle by
using a two-dimensional matrix that evaluates vendors based on their “Completeness
of Vision” and “Ability to Execute.”**
