This year the evaluation was even better than the last time. PBS was meanwhile able to climb from leading the niche players to become a “Challenger”. Gartner creates the report, which is published on a yearly basis, based on an extensive catalog of criteria and independent customer surveys.
The PBS solutions for archiving and nearline storage are extremely sophisticated and rich in functionality thanks to many years’ development and their SAP focus. Furthermore, they are also practice-oriented and user-friendly according to Gartner. The support was also praised – both the support provided by PBS, as well as by the PBS partners.
