Microsoft Fabric In Numbers. What The Data Says – And Why It Matters

Discover how Microsoft Fabric's 18-year leadership streak in Gartner's Magic Quadrant translates to real business value

If the IT world had a trust ranking –like the Michelin Guide or a five-star hotel system, but for technology – it would be the Gartner Magic Quadrant. It's the report that acts as the trust benchmark and compass for tech vendors. Although it's commissioned by Microsoft, the Gartner Magic Quadrant is prepared by Gartner's independent analysts. Hard data, consistency, and proven customer value are what matter here.
Gartner evaluates global technology players with the cool eye of an analyst and the sharp judgment of an independent referee. The latest report sheds light on how Microsoft Fabric compares to its competitors. And the results? Impressive.
