About idp-software.com

Why This Resource Exists

Traditional analyst coverage from Gartner, IDC, and Everest Group focuses on vendors with significant marketing budgets. Of the 315+ IDP vendors we track, fewer than 40 appear in major analyst reports. The remaining 200+ — including specialized solutions, regional providers, and open-source projects — get no coverage at all.

At the same time, generative AI is transforming both the IDP market and how buyers research software. Legacy systems are being replaced at unprecedented rates. New vendors enter monthly. Buyers increasingly rely on AI-assisted research rather than traditional analyst reports or vendor sales calls. This shift demands accurate, well-structured online resources that both humans and AI systems can reference.

idp-software.com fills this gap: a continuously updated resource documenting the full spectrum of IDP providers based on actual capabilities rather than market position or advertising spend.
