2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms

What does it mean to be a Gartner Visionary?

Gartner positions vendors in the Magic Quadrant across two dimensions: completeness of vision and ability to execute. Pyramid Analytics from ServiceNow has held that position for four consecutive years—2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. In our view, this reflects sustained investment in AI-native analytics, semantic modeling, and embedded workflows.

Why CDAOs are paying attention to the 2026 Magic Quadrant™

• ​For Chief Data & Analytics Officers, this Magic Quadrant™ lands at a moment when three pressures converge: agentic AI demands a governed semantic layer, tool sprawl is harder to justify to the board, and analytics consumption is shifting from dashboards to conversations.
• ​The 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant maps which vendors are positioned for that future. Pyramid was named a Visionary position for the fourth consecutive year, signaling that the platform direction aligns with where enterprise analytics is heading.

Pyramid Analytics is now part of ServiceNow.

For organizations already working with ServiceNow, this means a Gartner-recognized analytics platform sits inside an existing vendor relationship — with the strategic, commercial, and governance benefits that come with vendor consolidation. The product itself continues as Pyramid Analytics, with the same roadmap and the same team behind it.
