The IDC MarketScape also recognized ON24 for its strengths in data captured during events that lead to actions that drive engagement and revenue, integrations and APIs, and the platform’s use of AI for both content and intelligent metrics.

IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in a given market.

The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the size of the icons.

“The rapid growth of generative AI across platforms will continue. Early implementations are creating personalized content for users while the more advanced users will create personalized video content,” said Wayne Kurtzman, Research Vice President, Social, Communities and Collaboration, IDC. “ON24 is positioned in the Leader’s category in the 2023-2024 worldwide IDC MarketScape for virtual events because it offers significant personalization, enables content to be created quickly for multiple channels and modalities, and leverages AI to generate written or video content creation and streamline processes.”

  • Perpetual engagement: ON24’s new community event type is a significant addition, creating perpetual, face-to-face engagement within an already-robust marketing platform. 

 

According to the report, “Consider ON24 if you want to make an impression on your audience; engage that audience before, during, and after the event; measure the details; and reuse content across platforms or when you just want to have significant creative options and strong metrics that integrate with your MAP, CRM, and BI tools.”

“AI is the most significant trend shaping business today and at the center of our platform innovation– powering a new era of intelligent engagement through personalized, connected and data-rich experiences that continuously drive engagement and deliver business results,” said Sharat Sharan, co-founder and CEO, ON24. “We are proud to be named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape, and believe this recognition underscores our commitment to helping customers unlock AI innovation, improve efficiency and fuel revenue growth.”
