The leading vendors in the Application Development market (Competitor Focus)

The Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) market is in the middle of consolidation and vendor offerings exhibit a high degree of feature equivalence. Consequently, few vendors consistently occupy market leader positions, with a host of competitors in close trail. Still in throes of change, the ALM market has a fair share of specialist vendors capable of leading their respective niches.



Report Highlights
IBM leads the market in technology ratings by a large margin, followed by Borland and Microsoft. Specialist vendor Compuware and emerging player MKS also perform very well on the technology dimension. HP leads the market in terms of end user sentiment, closely followed by IBM and Microsoft in that order. CA and Borland both score very well but have room for improvement on the user perception and recognition. Microsoft has the highest market impact in the ALM space, followed by Borland and IBM. CA and Aldon also command an impressive market impact rating, owing to differing strategies of specialist focus and R&D reinvestment respectively.
