At The Information Difference we have developed these charts which summarise the key players in the MDM Landscape, DQ Landscape and Big Data Warehouse Landscape and assesses their relative positions. It is important to understand that any summary level diagram like this combines various weighted assessments of a vendor and its technology, and these may not match your particular project priorities. For example, certain vendors have a much better track record in tackling certain data domains (customer, product) than others.
