The Vendor Selection Matrix™ is a primarily survey-based methodology for vendor evaluation where 63 % of the evaluation is based on a survey of enterprise, marketing, or business decision makers and 37% on the analyst's opinion. The analyst's input is fed by a combination of intensive interviews with software or services vendors and their clients, plus their informed, independent point-of-view as an analyst. All of this combines to make Research in Action Vendor Selection Matrix™ reports so unique. This approach is one of the key differentiators of Research In Action in market research. For this report we interviewed 1,500 enterprise IT and business managers with budget responsibility in enterprises globally. We selected those vendors who achieved the best evaluations scores from the buyers but disregarded those with fewer than 15 evaluations. In the report, we discover not only why they are doing these projects, but also which software vendors are the most known and what do the businesspeople think about those vendor's products and services.

Dr. Thomas Mendel PH.D., Managing Director at Research In Action GmbH, comments:

• The almost unprecedented proliferation of Hybrid Clouds. The use of Hybrid Clouds in enterprises globally has multiplied in recent years. More than 93% of enterprises globally today use Hybrid Clouds. However, there are regional differences. North-America is leading the pack with 96.3% slightly ahead of Europe with 93.8% and Asia pacific lagging with 85%. Furthermore, enterprises globally today use four different public Cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) on average. Research In Action predicts that 24 months from now, 99% of all enterprises globally will be using Hybrid Clouds.

• Followed by strong growth in the use of Hybrid Cloud Management tools over the next 24 months. While more than 93% of enterprises globally use Hybrid Clouds today, there are still more than 40% of companies that do not have Hybrid Cloud Management tools in productive use. This, however, is about to change rapidly within the next 24 months. By that time, only around 1% of companies globally will not be using any Hybrid Cloud Management tools at all.

• There are four distinct markets for Hybrid Cloud Management solutions today. The needs of the enterprise buyers vary by company size, region and industry and have resulted in four separate markets. Many of the start-up vendors were originally focused on public Cloud Management and are now adding private Cloud Management capabilities. For the established Infrastructure and Service Management vendors, the journey goes the other way, by adding public Cloud Management capabilities to the mix. Over time, today's separate markets will inevitably converge.
