Deeper View with the Gartner® Critical Capabilities for SIEM
The Gartner® Critical Capabilities for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) report is a comparative analysis that scores competing products or services against a set of critical differentiators identified by Gartner, scoring how well each one supports real-world use cases like Out-of-the-Box SIEM, Customizable SIEM, and Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response.
Designed to be used alongside the Gartner Magic Quadrant™, this research helps security leaders and procurement teams go beyond strategic placement to understand which solutions best meet their operational needs.
What Is Gartner Critical Capabilities?
Critical Capabilities research complements a Gartner Magic Quadrant by allowing deeper insight into the providers’ product or service offerings by identifying which ones best fit various use cases. Magic Quadrants position vendors in a market, while Critical Capabilities provides a deeper dive into the providers’ product and service offerings. It offers:
- Companion Analysis: A deeper technical evaluation that complements the broader Magic Quadrant.
- Use Case Focus: Scores are tied to practical, high-value use cases chosen by Gartner analysts.
- Comparative Scoring: Products are rated across a set of differentiating capabilities.
- Actionable Insight: Results are designed to help you build a confident, qualified shortlist.
