An important distinction (as I mentioned in another comment) is that you have no idea how much "aggregate customer feedback" Gartner really has, they don't disclose their research methodologies at all. That's a real problem. 451 research does... and sincere congrats on your award.

Yes, very familiar with it... unfortunately there's a bit of vendor gamesmanship with these and they don't inform the MQ. Sorry, I've had too many years working with these tools, I'm cynical.
