Gartner’s Top 16 Cloud Database Management Systems
Leader: AWS
Public cloud titan Amazon Web Services took home the gold medal for execution on
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems, while also
ranking No. 4 for vision on the quadrant. The $35 billion Seattle, Wash.-based AWS
is the largest cloud service provider in the world, offering a range of database
management services. Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Amazon Aurora
and Amazon DynamoDB target operational use cases, while Amazon Redshift,
Amazon Athena and Amazon EMR are geared towards analytics. There’s also
Amazon Neptune for graph use cases, Amazon DocumentDB for document-based
use cases, Amazon Timestream for managing time series data and Amazon
Keyspaces for Apache Cassandra.
Strength: Gartner says AWS has a better track record for availability and reliability
than all other hyperscale providers.
Weakness: AWS’s support for organizations that have data on multiple clouds lags
behind that of some other hyperscale providers and most independent service
providers.
Leader: Microsoft
The public cloud and software kingpin ranks second place for execution on Gartner’s
Magic Quadrant as well as No. 6 for vision. The $143 billion Redmond, Wash.-based
company provides a broad range of cloud database management systems including
Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance,
Azure Cosmos DB, Azure HDInsight, and Azure Database for
PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB. Microsoft’s cloud DBMS offerings span nearly all
use cases.
Strength: Microsoft Azure is the No. 2 cloud service provider for data management
by revenue and unlike some of its competitors, Microsoft has embraced a multimodel
strategy for many of its data management offerings which can simplify deployment.
Weakness: Gartner contributors report that the move to Azure was often more
expensive than their on-premises deployments had been, reflecting both a lack of
maturity in relation to general financial governance practices among end-users as
well as cost structure standardization across Microsoft Azure.
Leader: Oracle
Oracle won the gold medal for vision on Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, besting all public
cloud competitors, while also ranking No. 4 for execution. The Redwood City, Calif.-
based company provides the Oracle Autonomous Database, which includes
Autonomous Transaction Processing and Autonomous Data Warehouse services, on
the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and the Oracle Exadata Cloud@Customer (ExaCC)
private cloud.
The $39 billion company also offers Autonomous JSON Database, Oracle MySQL
Database Service, Oracle NoSQL Database and Oracle Big Data Service.
Strength: Not only is the Oracle DBMS the same in on-premises and Autonomous
Database versions, but with the ExaCC private cloud, Oracle has a complete hybrid
environment for sharing data and enabling migrations to the cloud.
