As with all Forrester Waves, vendors were rated based on the capabilities of their current offering, their strategy including the broad partnerships in data and the ad-tech ecosystem, and breadth of market presence. To evaluate vendors and their products against criteria for the Wave, Forrester analysts gather details of product qualifications through a combination of lab evaluations, questionnaires, demos, and/or discussions with client references. Forrester sets default weightings to reflect their analysis of the needs of large user companies and then score the vendors based on a clearly defined scale.
