Constant innovation, a future-proof approach, and product development with clients’ growth in mind is the right path to success. Today, this statement gains even more weight as Kentico is recognized in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Experience Platforms for its product Kentico Xperience—the leading provider of a unified digital experience platform (DXP).
Brno, CZ & Bedford, NH, March 7, 2022 – Today, Kentico, the leading provider of digital experience and content management solutions, announced that it has been recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for DXP for the sixth time. This follows the company’s continuous efforts to enable businesses to successfully deliver stunning digital experiences with confidence and to provide innovative, future-proof tools for marketers and developers worldwide.
Investing in its products and increasing businesses’ digital experience maturity continues to be on the radar for Kentico and its division Kentico Xperience. The company is set to drive success on the digital journeys of all its customers, including its extensive partner network and clients.
Kentico named in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for DXP report
Gartner is a company that delivers actionable, objective insights to executives and their teams to help them identify and understand market trends in technology. “This Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors that meet Gartner’s inclusion criteria for the DXP market. It is intended to aid selection decisions about vendors and products. Use this Magic Quadrant to identify vendors that meet your needs across web, portal, mobile and other digital channels.”
“When organizations need to deliver highly contextualized digital experiences — beyond simple websites and mobile webpages — they turn to a DXP for breadth of functionality and the ability to cover an increasing variety of modalities and channels across customer journeys. DXPs are often deployed at the center of content operations ecosystems,” Gartner states in this year’s report.
“Kentico is extremely thrilled to be recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant report once again for its unified DXP, Kentico Xperience. It’s an incredibly important indicator for us that proves that listening and responding to customer feedback in order to guide them on their journeys to digital success, following the latest market trends, and investing in future-proof technology is the right path to developing a powerful product we all can be extremely proud of,” says Dominik Pintér, Managing Director, Kentico Xperience.
Kentico retains a strong position in the DXP market
According to Gartner, “a digital experience platform (DXP) is a well-integrated and cohesive set of technologies designed to enable the composition, management, delivery and optimization of contextualized digital experiences across multi-experience customer journeys. It provides the presentation orchestration that binds together capabilities from multiple applications to form seamless digital experiences.”
The core capabilities of a DXP include content management, personalization, customer data management, cloud capabilities, artificial intelligence, security, integration, and beyond. Low-code application development or digital commerce are listed amongst optional capabilities. In our opinion, due to the continuous investment into these and other crucial DXP aspects, Kentico (the creator of the unified DXP Kentico Xperience) has once again been positioned as a Niche Player.
“We’re continuously investing in developing a product that empowers marketers, developers, and all DXP users to maintain their digital business’s online presence efficiently, reliably, and effortlessly. Therefore, implementing cutting-edge technologies that emphasize key capabilities, such as cloud, artificial intelligence, and multiexperience support is essential to building a product that is successful in the competitive DXP landscape and drives our customers’ success,” says Matěj Štefaník, VP of Product, Kentico Xperience. “Our recognition in this year’s Magic Quadrant is an important milestone for us, affirming the direction of our extensive product development efforts.”

Investing in future-proofing the digital experience platform
Kentico’s excitement of this recognition is coupled with their enthusiasm for what comes next. Looking at the future development of Kentico Xperience, customers have lots of product enhancements to look forward to. Following the latest market trends and paying special attention to all valuable feedback they’re receiving, the upcoming months will be marked with bold steps towards a future-proof digital experience platform that enables its users to deliver seamless omnichannel digital experiences with even more confidence.
Artificial intelligence
When looking at innovating the capabilities of Kentico Xperience 13, leveraging the full potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning is certainly one of the key focus areas. The existing arsenal of functionalities leveraging this cutting-edge technology, including AI-driven sentiment analysis, image recognition, content personalization, or chatbots, will extend significantly. Adding the so-called Smart Insights, detecting major events, and offering valuable recommendations, is one of many planned extensions.
New cloud offering
The company will be introducing an additional deployment model for customers running Xperience by Kentico. The Xperience Managed Cloud Service will offer faster performance, responsiveness, and greater agility, without having to operate a server infrastructure. Users will be able to enjoy benefits, such as single-tenancy solution, fast setup and easy deployments between cloud environments, and 24/7/365 global support for all active licenses.
Digital experience maturity
With emphasis on Kentico Xperience’s clients’ and customers’ success in their digital transformation, the company will focus on smooth adoption of their unified digital experience platform. Being aware of the fact that a business’s suitability for implementing such a solution is directly dependent on its individual level of digital experience maturity, Kentico Xperience intends to focus on providing outstanding guidance in understanding its importance and applying key insights in practice.
Low-code/no-code approach
To keep growing stronger when it comes to ease of adoption and usability, already appreciated by Kentico Xperience’s existing customers and clients, , the company is looking at investing in enhancing this characteristic quality. Introducing Universal builders, including email, page, or form builder, along with other existing tools of this sort, with a perfectly unified interface, will therefore empower marketers and developers to manage and deliver digital content on all channels and devices easier than ever.
