Ways to get this data
Three approaches teams use today, and where each one runs into trouble.
| Approach | What it takes | Cost | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reading the market overview page by hand | Open the page and read through the research and lessons-learned sections | Free, and slow | Fine for one category, unworkable across several |
| Building a scraper | Write it, host it, and repair it when the layout moves | Engineering time | A maintenance commitment for something that is not your product |
| NeuralVerge | One request per market | $5 per 1,000, misses not billed | Returns what the market profile publishes — a category snapshot, not a full analyst report |

- —This is the market's own summary content, not the full Gartner Magic Quadrant or analyst report behind it.
- —Lessons learned are self-selected buyer input and skew toward whoever chose to write one.
- —It takes a market alias, not a free-text category name — resolve it with Gartner markets search or Gartner categories first.
Questions, answered
Yes — a Gartner market is a software category, identified by an alias like data-loss-prevention. It's distinct from a product or a vendor, which sit inside it.
