Snowflake Named a

Leader in the IDC MarketScape

We are proud to announce that Snowflake has been positioned in the Leaders Category in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Intelligence Platform Software 2026 Vendor Assessment.

Snowflake Horizon Catalog delivers this foundation natively within the Snowflake AI Data Cloud—unifying cataloging, lineage, quality monitoring, and dynamic policy enforcement right where your data lives.

The IDC MarketScape recognized Snowflake for the following Key Strengths:

• Native, unified governance within a broader data platform: Horizon Catalog embeds cataloging, classification, policy enforcement, lineage, and quality into the core Snowflake platform rather than as a separate product, so data intelligence sits alongside the storage, data engineering, analytics, AI/ML, and data-sharing workloads that run on the same platform.
  
• Enterprise-grade resiliency and security: Snowflake reinforces resiliency through cross-region and cross-cloud account and database replication, time travel, and fail-safe recovery for high availability and business continuity.
  
• Deep partner ecosystem and industry alignment: Snowflake is closely aligned with the three major hyperscalers and supports a broad, mature partner network spanning technology, cloud, and implementation partners, backed by structured enablement and certification through the Snowflake Partner Network.
