Independent Research. Expert Guidance. Confident Technology Decisions.
Technology decisions deserve more than reports. They deserve the insight that comes from independent research, hands-on validation, and direct access to experienced analysts.
What we do
We cover more than 150 technology topics across multiple domains, producing research that reveals how technology is bought, deployed, and defended. Our practitioner-led research delivers operationalized insights and resources that solve real-world problems.
See latest researchOur approach
We start with how technology is actually evaluated, deployed, and operated, then focus on the decisions enterprises need to make. By bringing clarity to the decisions that matter most, we ensure technology choices hold up in practice.
ExploreHow we're different
Our research is led by practitioners, not analysts without field experience. That powers our mission to help enterprises evaluate technology through outcomes and risk, not just features. Our understanding of the technology buyer is our differentiator.

Six ways the research gets used
Syndicated research is published independently by GigaOm. Commissioned research is paid for by a vendor and still run to our own methodology — the difference is who asked for it, not how it is tested.

GigaOm Radar
A Radar built around how buyers actually decide
Every provider is scored through three executive lenses — CTO, CIO, and CISO — so any score traces back to a specific executive's priorities. Placement is separate: four quadrants describe the kind of buying decision a vendor fits.

Turn Radar recognition into executive action
An executive-facing brief that converts Radar strengths into ROI, risk, and operational impact — an at-a-glance summary first, then a brief designed to be read in minutes.
Learn moreSales Enablement
Turning analyst insight into revenue-driving sales conversations
Analyst-led guidance on representing Radar positioning accurately and handling competitor comparisons with published research rather than assertion.

Benchmark Report
The shortest path from comparison to confidence
How a solution performs under real enterprise workloads, including the metrics that decide an investment and rarely appear in a datasheet: latency, scalability, and long-term cost.
Learn moreCxO Decision Brief
Bridging the gap between engineering innovation and executive decision-making
A structured evaluation written for the role that has to sign off — CFO, CISO, or COO — with an Analyst's Take anchored in reproducible benchmark data rather than vendor claims.
Learn moreCompete Battlecards
Turn product differentiation into executive buy-in
Competitive analysis through a buyer's lens: business impact, implementation complexity, and true time-to-value in place of a feature checklist.
Learn moreFrom uncertainty to clarity
GigaOm helps translate market complexity into clear, defensible narratives so you can move from uncertainty to clarity and confidence for your teams and stakeholders.
