Making a platform migration decision is hard. In a world filled with buzzwords and marketing jargon, cutting through the noise to find the right solution for your business can be overwhelming. It’s not just about labels like “Visionary” or “Leader”; it’s about understanding who can best serve your specific use cases now and provide the flexibility for you to evolve and grow in the future. That’s why VTEX’s recognition as the only vendor rated in the top 5 for all use cases in the 2023 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Digital Commerce Report is more than a title; it’s a testament to our commitment to your success.

VTEX is leading the charge in the digital commerce landscape with a pragmatic approach to headless and composable commerce. As the only vendor rated in the top 5 for all use cases in the 2023 Gartner Critical Capabilities for Digital Commerce report and being named a Visionary in the 2023 Magic Quadrant for the fourth year in a row, we are setting a new standard for how enterprise organizations transform their commerce operations with a composable and complete platform.

But don’t just take our word for it. In the last twelve months, VTEX has more than twice as many reviews as any other vendor on Gartner Peer Insights™, with an Overall Rating of 4.7 out of 5 and a Willingness to Recommend score of 96%, based on 67 customer reviews as of September 1, 2023. A Director of IT from a manufacturing company who recently partnered with VTEX shared their experience:

“We selected VTEX as a partner for our B2B digital commerce platform. There is good collaboration with VTEX. They act as a dedicated partner from their product presentation to the implementation support provided by Customer Success. The completeness of their digital commerce capabilities, the composable architecture and the API-led platform design make it a flexible and future-proof solution. The platform comes with out-of-the-box ecommerce functionalities, but also delivers extensive possibilities for extensions and customizations.”
