Comparison

DecisionOS vs Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner Peer Insights is authoritative market input: verified peer reviews, analyst-validated categories, comparative grids. DecisionOS is the decision layer: the structured workflow that takes Gartner evidence alongside pricing, compliance and stakeholder input, weights it, and produces your organisation's decision memo. Different jobs.

TL;DR

Gartner tells you the market. DecisionOS tells you why you chose.

How DecisionOS is different

Gartner Peer Insights and Gartner Magic Quadrant are inputs. DecisionOS is the workflow that turns inputs into a weighted, auditable decision.

Questions we get about this

Can Gartner reports be attached to DecisionOS memos?

Yes. Analyst citations are a first-class evidence type in DecisionOS memos.

Reicht ein Gartner Magic Quadrant als Begründung im DORA-Audit?

Nein. Aufsicht und interne Revision fragen nach der eigenen Begründung, nicht nach dem Marktblick. DORA Art. 28 erwartet eine dokumentierte Eignungsprüfung mit unternehmensspezifischen Kriterien, Dealbreakern und Konzentrationsrisiko-Analyse. Ein Gartner-Bericht ist ein wertvoller Input, kein Ersatz für das Decision Memo.

Where is DecisionOS hosted?

The application, its databases, the self-hosted analytics and all backups run on dedicated servers in Germany operated by a European provider, under an Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement. There is no hyperscaler, no US fallback and no cross-border replication of stored data. Two steps do leave the EU: decision memos and document extraction are generated by an AI provider in the USA and carry case content, and traffic reaches you through a content delivery provider that terminates TLS in front of the origin. Vendor research runs on anonymized prompts and carries no customer identity. These transfers rest on EU standard contractual clauses, and every sub-processor is listed by name, purpose and location at nexalign.io/hosting. Whether a given workload can accept them is a question we would rather you decide with the facts than discover later. The self-hosted analytics is cookie-free.

How do I evaluate DecisionOS for my next decision?

Book a 30-minute demo at nexalign.io/book. During the demo the team walks a real decision end-to-end using a scenario close to yours (EDR, IAM, sovereign cloud, ERP, whichever fits).
