The Forrester Wave™: Data Resilience Solutions, Q4 2024





  • Data resilience solutions customers today are tasked with ensuring data availability, data security, and resolving data accountability issues. Holistic data resilience solutions, with a breadth of backup and recovery support that continuously evolve to meet new demands are critical to data resilience.
  • Recent surveys show that despite growing reliance on cloud services and backup tools, individuals and companies both still experience data loss more often than expected. Even more concerning, these trends also reveal gaps in trust, recovery times, and migration efforts which significantly impact business operations.
  • While the media tends to focus on cyber resilience, IT professionals know that data resilience is just as critical. Many organizations are working on both of these fronts, but this emphasis isn’t always reflected in public discussions.
  • 54% of IT professionals understand both concepts while 16% focus primarily on data resilience and 12% on cyber resilience. What’s clear is that companies can’t afford to prioritize one over the other. From human errors to natural disasters and cyberattacks, businesses need systems that protect their data and help them recover quickly, regardless of the cause.
  • Migration stress also adds to this hesitation. IT teams worry about ending contracts, the upfront costs of switching providers, and the workload that comes with moving data to a new system. These concerns show the importance of making migrations as seamless and risk-free as possible to encourage more organizations to adopt better solutions.
