Visionary: Alibaba Cloud

New to the Magic Quadrant, the Chinese e-commerce giant's cloud has achieved global reach. But the international offering, run out of Singapore, lags the Chinese one in feature set development and performance.

Alibaba Cloud is the current market share leader for cloud IaaS in China, and performs particularly well for Chinese digital businesses and agencies within the Chinese government.

"Alibaba Cloud has substantial challenges that it must overcome before it can translate its success in China to markets outside of its home territory," Gartner said.
