For the fifth year in a row, Episerver has been named as a leader for digital commerce, sitting amongst 18 of the world's most important technology vendors, including Oracle, Adobe, Sitecore, and Kentico.
Positioned in 3rd place for Completeness of Vision and 4th for Ability to Execute, it was one of the 4 key vendors that were clearly ahead of the rest as the Episerver features continue to close the gap on it’s nearest rivals, Sitecore and Adobe.
Highlights from the Episerver Gartner report were that Episerver products’ cloud capability and personalisation were two of the key areas that Gartner were impressed by along with:
Strong messaging: Episerver offers a broad product portfolio across Episerver content management systems, digital marketing, and digital commerce, with packaging and bundling well-aligned with typical customer use cases and maturity levels. Episerver’s business-savvy packaging stands in favorable contrast to vendors whose offerings are technology-driven and oftentimes very confusing.
Strong IT and business usability: Episerver is well-regarded for usability by both IT and business teams. Advanced experience management capabilities, such as event triggering, AI-based personalisation, and customer journey analytics are incorporated into typical WCM processes and roles, rather than requiring specialized, dedicated processes and expertise.
Strong pricing strategy: Episerver’s simple, transparent, predictable subscription pricing readily aligns with business metrics (for example, page views and SKUs). The pricing strategy appeals to large enterprises, as well as growing midmarket organisations.’
Interestingly, while Oracle is still a leader it is felt the solution now might be aging, the multitude of solutions offered as they continue to buy up additional technologies to bolster their offering can get confusing. IBM drops out of the report altogether this year, despite featuring highly in recent years.
