Gartner customers can set up alerts on their home page, to receive email or other alerts either by topic, keyword or analyst name.

Curious do you happen to have the links to the 2 WAF comparison sites you’re talking about?

Thanks,

If possible we would like to have our WAF product included in your analysis.

I can link you to the marketing information but could also facilitate access to more technical information and a product trial.

Hi Scott:

Actually, we’ve had guidance in the form of research notes and inquiry on web application firewalls available for our Gartner customers for quite a few years. I personally speak via inquiry with hundreds of enterprises each year on web application firewalls: now we have assessed that the market is both large and mature enough to warrant the depth of work an MQ requires.

I have been waiting for a MQ on the topic for a while. I thought for a while that I would have to rely on Forrester and ITprocafe.com to offer their insight on application firewall products.

It’s important to note that participation in MQs is solely based on Gartner’s definition of the market. Vendors cannot “buy in” to participation, nor can they declare they don’t want to be in the MQ because they don’t like their placement.

We’ve always maintained that presense in all four quadrants, and not just the upper right one, is a validation of a company’s market participation, and that buyers may find value in a vendors approach no matter how they are ranked on the graphic.
