Executive Summary

This report provides a detailed fact-based comparison of the 14 most prominent enterprise asset management (EAM) software providers in the market. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, our analysis comprised two-and-a-half-hour live product demonstrations, with pre-set scenarios, desk research and vendor responses to a 151-point questionnaire covering nine technical, nine functional and nine market momentum categories. Verdantix also conducted interviews with 14 software users and reviewed the data from our global survey of 304 operational excellence decision-makers. Our research finds that the EAM software market consists of providers hailing from a range of backgrounds and operating in a highly competitive environment, despite market maturity. Vendors are differentiating themselves by offering provision of end-to-end services, using advancements in AI and generative AI (GenAI), and covering use cases for asset performance management (APM), asset lifecycle management and operational risk.
