Dragon1 is pleased to announce that it has been mentioned by Gartner in the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools report in 2019. Dragon1 has also been mentioned in previous editions of the report, including 2018, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
The Magic Quadrant reports are authored by leading Gartner research analysts and provide an overview of the enterprise architecture (EA) tools market, including key trends, vendor positioning, and market direction. The 2019 report was written by Gartner analysts James McGovern, Samantha Searl, Mark McGregor, and Saul Brand, who reference Dragon1 in the Market Overview section and cite the following:
"Midsize and smaller organizations will probably respond to the demands of digital business by acquiring niche, simple, out-of-the-box, low-cost, cloud-based EA tools, such as .... and Dragon1. These organizations will market these tools for specific EA needs, ranging from ideation and innovation to quick, lean, and highly structured approaches to EA. These approaches may not be based on a methodology that drives business outcomes. While these vendors do not currently meet the inclusion criteria for this Magic Quadrant or may not have all the capabilities we consider critical for EA tools (see Market Definition/Description section for details), it may be that their specific functionality or pricing makes them a suitable choice for some organizations."
