The EMA Radar Report delivers an in-depth analysis of industry-leading vendors and vendor products, including their overall market position in comparison with other vendors. This information is laid out in an easy-to-decipher, detailed market map and Radar Chart – which includes a composite score for each vendor – making it simple to see how vendors measure up in the market, as well as against other vendors. The EMA Radar Report also provides a detailed discussion of methodology and criteria, a high-level market segment overview, a comprehensive analyst write-up on each vendor, and more.

This Radar Report covers workload automation and orchestration. 2025 marks a structural shift in the market, with orchestration now defined by three converging innovation domains: agentic AI, observability-enabled automation, and modernized orchestration architectures. The field for 2025 was deliberately narrowed to vendors demonstrating enterprise-grade execution and visible innovation momentum in these areas, reflecting a market transition from automating workloads to orchestrating intelligent, observable, and outcome-driven operations.

Vendors included in this edition are: Absyss, Arvato Systems, Beta Systems, BMC, Broadcom, HCLSoftware, IBM, Redwood Software, Rocket Software, and Stonebranch.
