The Data Fabric Survey 26 is BARC’s annual study into the market for data management software. It employs the same proven methodology as The BI & Analytics Survey and The Planning Survey, which have been conducted annually since 2000, setting out to analyze market trends and produce meaningful comparisons of competing products across a wide range of critical software and vendor-related criteria.
The Data Fabric Survey also provides a detailed quantitative analysis of why customers buy data management tools, what they are used for, the problems they experience with the tools and how successful they are.
776 people surveyed, 19 data management products evaluated
19 data management products from different vendors are featured in The Data Fabric Survey 26. As well as products from well-known global giants such as Amazon, Microsoft and SAP, it also includes a number of specialist tools from smaller vendors.
Our analysis is based on a survey of 776 software users, consultants and vendors from all over the world, conducted from February to September 2025.
The Data Fabric Survey consists of three key components:
An overview and analysis of the most important findings and topical results from The Data Fabric Survey. This report covers the challenges faced with today’s data landscapes, approaches to tool selection, current trends in data management and more.
A series of executive reports on each product featured in The Data Fabric Survey. Each report deals with a single product and contains a short vendor and product overview by BARC’s analyst team as well as a summary of the relevant product-related survey results.
Gain access to our powerful interactive online tool, enabling you to perform your own custom analysis of the full survey data set from The Data Fabric Survey.
