Gartner published the Magic Quadrant for Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Software

The analyst Gartner Inc. has published its Magic Quadrant for RPA software in July 2019. According to Gartner, "RPA is still relatively small market with a total revenue of slightly less than $850 million in 2018. However, RPA is the fastest-growing software subsegment officially tracked by Gartner, with year-on-year growth of over 63% in 2018". Gartner defines RPA as "Robotic process automation (RPA) is a digital enablement technology that predominantly leverages a combination of user interface (UI) and surface-level features to create scripts that automate routine, predictable data transcription work". 

This Magic Quadrant focuses on the providers of RPA products and not service providers that leverage RPA capabilities licensed from another vendor. This research informs them of the main RPA tool vendors in an evolving marketplace driven by the dynamics of digital business, that it includes the following vendors: UiPath, Blue Prism, Automation Anywhere, Workfusion, Pegasystems, Another Monday, EdgeVerve Systems, NICE, Kofax, Servicetrace, Softomotive, Kryon, AutomationEdge, HelpSystems, Jacada, NTT, Antworks and Datamatics.

The main use cases for RPA solutions are based on integration of data. 

Gartner has evaluated all vendors individually and did not rank or score them against each other. As Gartner explains, the inclusion in the Magic Quadrant does not necessarily mean that a vendor is capable for the needs of a particular user organization, but it can help when the evaluation is doing as the decision will depend of the specific evaluation criteria.
