CTERA named strong performer in Gartner cloud storage
CTERA has been named a Strong Performer in Gartner Peer Insights' 2025 "Voice of the Customer" for Hybrid Cloud Storage. The designation is based on ratings and feedback from end-user professionals.
The recognition places the New York-based data management company among vendors evaluated by users with direct experience buying, deploying, or using products in the category. Gartner defines hybrid cloud storage as platforms that manage data across on-premises, edge, and cloud environments.
The assessment draws on reviews submitted by verified end users and compiled in the "Voice of the Customer" report, which is intended to help IT decision-makers compare suppliers. Gartner applies criteria designed to ensure recognised vendors have recorded strong levels of customer satisfaction.
CTERA provides software for managing and protecting data in distributed environments, as companies seek to balance local storage needs with growing use of cloud infrastructure. Products in this segment are used to move, store, and govern data across multiple locations while maintaining access for users and systems.
Customer feedback
CTERA said the designation reflects direct customer views rather than analyst judgment. The ranking also highlights a wider trend in enterprise technology buying, where peer reviews play a larger role in shortlist decisions alongside formal analyst reports and internal testing.
Oded Nagel, Chief Executive Officer of CTERA, commented on the result.
"We believe being named a Strong Performer is a powerful testament to our core philosophy: the most innovative technology is meaningless if it doesn't deliver an exceptional experience for the customer. In an industry of complex solutions, we have always strived to provide a platform that is not only powerful and secure but also intuitive and reliable. For us, this recognition, coming directly from our customers, is the highest compliment we can receive. It validates the tireless work of our team and strengthens our resolve to continue setting the standard for customer-centric innovation," said Oded Nagel, Chief Executive Officer of CTERA.
Hybrid cloud storage has become a more closely watched category as organisations distribute data across branch offices, data centres, and public cloud services. This has increased demand for systems that can connect these environments without forcing businesses to rely on a single storage model.
For suppliers such as CTERA, user review programmes can serve as a public measure of product reception in a market that includes both long-established infrastructure vendors and newer software-led providers. Buyers often examine these reviews for evidence on deployment experience, support quality, and day-to-day usability.
Market context
CTERA positions itself in data management and data intelligence for distributed organisations. Its software is designed for enterprises seeking central oversight of data while keeping files and workloads available across dispersed operations.
The Gartner Peer Insights programme gathers user opinions from professionals involved in the procurement, implementation, and operation of technology products. Those submissions are then aggregated into category reports intended to give prospective buyers a view of how products are rated by existing users.
According to CTERA, the latest recognition came directly from users, underlining the role customer sentiment now plays in infrastructure software markets. The company was identified as a Strong Performer in a category shaped by growing enterprise demand for tools that span on-premises systems and cloud services.
