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.

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?
Entirely in the EU (Hetzner, Nuremberg, Germany). No application data leaves the European Union. Analytics is self-hosted and cookie-free. A data processing agreement per Art. 28 GDPR is in place with the hosting provider.
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).

Relevant industries
Manufacturing & Industrial
Manufacturing is a NIS2 important entity. OT security and supply-chain diligence are mandatory. The decision memo is the audit standard.
Pharma & Life Sciences
Pharma IT is regulated IT. Validation (CSV/CSA) and audit trail are not optional. The decision memo is the mandatory front-end documentation.
Automotive & Suppliers
Automotive = TISAX + UNECE R155/R156 + ISO 21434 + NIS2. The decision memo is the only format that maps all four in parallel.
Chemicals & Process Industry
Chemicals is a NIS2 important entity with physical major-accident risk. IT-OT convergence is the core strategic question.
Retail & Commerce
Retail IT = payment + customer data + logistics. PCI DSS 4.0 and GDPR are the two hard axes.
