Gartner Magic Quadrant Data Integration Visionary: K2view

Gartner has named K2view a Visionary in the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, and they have moved up inside the Visionary quadrant. This is a big signal for anyone who cares about data and AI in the enterprise.I had to cover this news in person and what better place than my friend, Ronen Schwartz’s home in Palo Alto, talking to him about what this actually means. We did not just speak about a report. We spoke about whether data integration still matters in an AI world and why K2View’s approach is getting attention right now.Here is how I see it.- First, data integration is more relevant than ever. Your AI agents, copilots, and analytics are only as good as the data foundation behind them. K2View’s bet has been simple to understand. Give every business domain a clean, real time, governed view of its data, and make it available to any use case, including AI.- Second, the move up in the Visionary quadrant is about more than a label. It reflects how K2View is executing on this idea of “AI ready data,” not just talking about it. They are helping customers move away from scattered pipelines to a consistent way of delivering trustworthy data products into AI, analytics, and operations.- Third, when you compare their position with the large leaders, you see a different angle. The big platforms are broad. K2View is sharp and focused.They model data around real business entities, not just tablesThey support real time views without forcing you into one storage patternThey are designing with GenAI and agentic AI in mind from day oneFinally, the strategic outlook. Ronen is very clear that this is not about selling “yet another integration tool.” It is about being the data layer that lets enterprises move faster with AI while staying in control of privacy, compliance, and performance.For leaders who are serious about AI and tired of slideware, K2View’s move in the Magic Quadrant is one of those signals worth paying attention to.#data #ai #gartner #gartnermagicquadrant #agenticai #agents #k2view #theravitshow
