In the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Science and Machine Learning Platforms, Databricks has once again been named a Leader, ranking highest in Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision.

What does this mean? On the axis Ability to Execute, vendors were scored according to seven criteria: Product/Service, Overall Viability, Sales Execution/Pricing, Market Responsiveness and Track Record, Marketing Execution, Customer Experience, Operations.
