Palo Alto Networks positioned as a LEADER in the Gartner Magic Quadrant
As many of you know, Gartner bases its vendor positioning on two major elements: ability to execute and completeness of vision. Palo Alto Networks entered the MQ in 2010 as a visionary vendor based on their highly differentiated technology and rapid market adoption.
This year, the MQ looks very different from its 2010 incarnation. Clearly, Palo Alto Networks position as a leader indicates that the balance of power in enterprise network security has continued to shift towards the Next-Generation Firewall – an idea that Gartner launched some years ago and is now rapidly becoming mainstream.
Palo Alto Networks is assessed as a leading vendor mostly due to its:
• Next-generation firewall design;
• Redirection of the market along the next-generation firewall path;
• Consistent displacement of leaders and challengers; and
• Market disruption forcing leaders to react.
