What the Magic Quadrant shows
Gartner places each CLM vendor it evaluates in one of four quadrants: Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries and Niche Players. A vendor's position comes from two measures, Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.
The report sets out the criteria behind both measures, the capabilities Gartner expects of a CLM platform, and the strengths and cautions it sees for each vendor. Use it to build a shortlist, then test each vendor against your own contracts, systems and teams.
