Datadog Recognised For Innovation As 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ Leader For Observability Platforms
The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms is a culmination of the Gartner research of the application performance monitoring (APM) and observability market. A Magic Quadrant provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers, in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct: Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow; Visionaries understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules, but do not yet execute well; Niche Players focus successfully on a small segment, or are unfocused and do not out-innovate or outperform others; Challengers execute well today or may dominate a large segment, but do not demonstrate an understanding of market direction.
Customer feedback is vital to Datadog's product innovation. Below are two recent reviews of Datadog from the company's profile on Gartner Peer Insights ™:
'Datadog provides incredible insights into complex tooling. They continue to innovate and add new features regularly throughout the year, and their CSM [customer success management] team is very responsive and helpful,' said a Senior Director of Engineering at a software company. 'The user interface is very clean and easy to use, even with a tremendous amount of data and features. The APM and USM [universal service monitoring] features have been invaluable additions to our observability and helping us remediate issues quickly. The Watchdog feature has also been terrific for proactive alerting of things that didn't have specific monitors set up.'
'The insights that we're able to get by building custom metrics within Datadog have been invaluable. We've managed to catch behaviors within our application that we otherwise wouldn't have caught, and it's helped us create a more reliable experience for our customers,' said an SRE Engineer at a healthcare and biotech company.
'It is significant for us to see Gartner name Datadog a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Observability Platforms for a fifth straight year,' said Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. 'Product innovation and R&D continue to be key focus areas for us as both Datadog and our customers embrace AI to build and improve applications, workflows and cloud environments. We look forward to working with our user base to further our product strategy and leadership in the market.'

Datadog launches Sydney AWS region to boost local compliance
Datadog has launched its full suite of products and services in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Asia-Pacific (Sydney) Region, allowing Australian organisations to meet local privacy, security and data residency requirements. This expansion enables Datadog's customers and partners in Australia to store and process data within the country, with the capability designed to support compliance in highly regulated sectors including government, banking, healthcare, and higher education. Local capacity The addition of the AWS Sydney Region comes as Australian organisations are expected to increase their cloud spending significantly. Rob Thorne, Vice President for Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) at Datadog, outlined the scale of this investment: "Australian organisations are on track to spend nearly A$26.6 billion on public cloud services alone in 2025. For organisations in highly regulated industries, it isn't just the cloud provider that needs to have local data storage capacity – it should be all layers of the tech stack." The new local instance enables Datadog to deliver its observability and security platform with in-region data processing. This helps Australian organisations meet national requirements by ensuring that sensitive or regulated information remains within their borders. Cloud agnosticism Although the Datadog instance operates on AWS, its platform is designed to monitor infrastructures and applications running on any cloud provider, allowing flexibility for customers and partners across different deployment environments. The platform's expansion in Australia follows Datadog's existing regions in North America, Asia, and Europe, building on its strategy to offer monitoring and security capabilities tailored for local compliance demands. Commitment to Australia and New Zealand Yanbing Li, Chief Product Officer at Datadog, explained the significance of the development for the region. "This milestone reinforces Datadog's commitment to supporting the region's advanced digital capabilities - especially the Australian Government's ambition to make the country a leading digital economy. With strong momentum across public and private sectors, our investment enhances trust in Datadog's unified and cloud-agnostic observability and security platform, and positions us to meet the evolving needs of agencies and enterprises alike." In addition to the enhanced in-region capacity, the expansion is part of the company's wider strategy in Australia and New Zealand. Thorne stated, "This milestone reflects Datadog's priority to support these investments. It's the latest step in our expansion down under, and follows the continued addition of headcount to support our more than 1,100 A/NZ customers, as well as the recent appointments of Field CTO for APJ, Yadi Narayana, and Vice President of Commercial Sales for APJ, Adrian Towsey, to our leadership team." Supporting compliance The move to local data storage is intended to address increasing regulatory demands across various industries in Australia, where legislation often requires data related to citizens, clients, or patients to remain within national boundaries. Leveraging AWS in Sydney for its own systems, Datadog ensures that organisations can confidently meet legislative obligations without needing to change their cloud providers for core applications and infrastructure. Datadog's observability and security platform provides real-time monitoring across infrastructure, applications, and cloud environments. Its software integrates functions such as infrastructure monitoring, application performance management, log analytics, user experience monitoring, and security into a consolidated offering. Market context Australian organisations across sectors are accelerating digital transformation projects, with cloud adoption at the core of enterprise IT strategies. The establishment of in-country data handling by global cloud and SaaS providers addresses significant barriers related to regulation and local auditing requirements, especially for sectors that handle regulated or sensitive information. With local support, investment in staff, and alignment of its platform capabilities, Datadog aims to help customers and partners maintain compliance while adopting a range of public or private cloud technologies in line with their operational needs.

Fortinet named SASE leader by Gartner, eyes USD $28.5 billion market
Fortinet has been recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) Platforms and ranked first in the Secure Branch Network Modernisation use case in the associated Gartner Critical Capabilities for SASE Platforms report. The designation in the Magic Quadrant report marks a significant acknowledgement for Fortinet in the cybersecurity sector, as SASE platforms continue to play a central role in network security strategies across various industries. The evaluation from Gartner is of particular note to enterprise customers seeking solutions that unify networking and security functions. Market recognition Fortinet regards this latest recognition as supporting its strategic vision to bring together advanced secure software-defined wide area network (SD‐WAN), universal zero trust network access (ZTNA), and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled threat protection within a single platform. Nirav Shah, Senior Vice President, Products and Solutions at Fortinet, stated: "We are honoured to be recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms and believe this recognition validates our commitment to organic innovation - building a unified, AI-powered platform that spans all secure access service edge (SASE) use cases. We believe being positioned in the Leaders quadrant in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SASE Platforms affirms our strategy of blending proven secure SD‐WAN, universal ZTNA, and AI‐powered threat protection under a single operating system, FortiOS, and one licence for added simplicity and faster return on investment." The company said this recognition follows its recent achievements, which include being acknowledged as a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SD‐WAN for the fifth year in a row, and being named as a Customers' Choice in the 2024 and 2025 Gartner Peer Insights for key segments, including Security Service Edge (SSE), SD-WAN, and ZTNA. Unified approach Fortinet's Unified SASE offering is built on FortiOS, aiming to supply consistent security measures and user experiences across campuses, cloud environments, and remote workforces. The platform is designed for centralised management with a single console and agent, which Fortinet argues reduces complexity and streamlines both policy enforcement and deployment. According to the company, the unified approach incorporates over 160 points of presence globally and utilises a simplified licensing model. Fortinet emphasises monthly product updates, including AI-driven security workflows, as essential to maintaining protection against evolving threats. Branch modernisation The report's ranking in the Secure Branch Network Modernisation use case highlights Fortinet's capability to help clients upgrade from legacy branch network infrastructures. This includes facilitating the transition away from multiprotocol label switching to higher performance branch experiences. Fortinet claims that organisations benefit from faster, simpler site deployments using zero-touch provisioning and centralised management, supporting quicker scaling with less operational overhead. The company said its focus on converging networking and security at the network edge allows IT departments to deliver secure, scalable connectivity solutions. This integration is designed to help reduce costs while providing flexibility in branch modernisation. Growing market Fortinet's ongoing investment in SASE infrastructure and partner enablement positions the company to address demand in a sector which, according to Gartner forecasts, could exceed USD $28.5 billion by 2028. The company's offerings also aim to address regulatory requirements around data sovereignty, which are central concerns in industries such as finance, healthcare, and government. Fortinet was acknowledged for its broader performance in the cybersecurity market, being recognised in 11 separate Magic Quadrant reports spanning both security and networking. The press release noted: "Fortinet was recognised in 11 different Magic Quadrant reports including being named an Honorable Mention in Magic Quadrant for Data Centre Switching, for Access Management, and for Privileged Access Management." In addition to the recognition for SASE and SD-WAN, the company stated it remains the only provider named as a Customer's Choice across all three core SASE segments - SD-WAN, SSE, and ZTNA - on Gartner Peer Insights. Fortinet believes this further validates its strategy to unify networking and security through its Security Fabric platform.
