Forrester's latest Wave report on AI Platforms highlights significant shifts as agentic AI redefines platform capabilities and vendor competition. The evaluation includes 15 vendors, showcasing a diverse range of offerings and innovations.

MyDataWork POV — In theory, recalibration sounds necessary, but the Forrester Wave’s focus on agentic AI feels more like a reshuffling of marketing buzzwords than a genuine leap forward. Evaluating 15 vendors as 'heterogeneous' fails to clarify what 'agentic' truly delivers that’s distinct from existing capabilities. The new boundaries touted by Forrester remain largely undefined, leaving us to question whether these platforms are just a rebranded promise rather than a demonstrable shift in enterprise AI functionality.

The Leverage tab's automation candidate identification claims align loosely with agentic AI themes, but without concrete evidence of agentic AI's distinct benefits, users should cautiously validate any such overlaps or automations. Explore MyDataWork ↗
