2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Content Marketing Platforms
Recogized a leader
You're a marketing leader, you know the drill: endless software evaluations, the pressure to choose the right solution, and the nagging fear of investing in a platform that won't deliver measurable impact.
The market is flooded with tools promising AI-driven content, but when most are just bolt-on solutions, they add more complexity than clarity. You need speed, precision, and results — not more fragmented workflows.

Agents review, flag, and fix brand, legal, and accessibility issues before they go live.
5× faster compliance reviews. Hundreds of review hours saved.
Opal pulls data across systems (GA4, CRM, MA, sales, analytics) and auto-builds reports, summaries, and recommendations.
3–5 FTE hours saved weekly per marketer.

|---|---|---|
Unified platform | Opal connects to CMSs, DAMs, CDPs, analytics tools, and creative tools, acting as a central marketing hub. | Single-use tools = overcomplicated workflows and integration management. |
Brand-aware AI | Add your company’s brand guidelines and Opal does the rest - ensuring every output is on brand, in compliance, and performant for smarter content at scale. | Requires manual setup and prompt writing for every workflow; AI outputs often lack deeper brand context without extensive configuration. |
Coding |
Opal’s no-code, natural language agent builder and intuitive UI enable rapid agent and workflow creation. You’re also not locked into OOTB agents – customize or build your own! | Workflows often require logic building and API know-how, creating reliance on technical teams. |
Enterprise governance |
Opal provides enterprise-grade governance, permissions, and uptime SLAs, ensuring brand safety and operational consistency. | Users report potential credit limits and reliability snags, lacking the proven stability for large-scale operations. |
AI search optimization | Opal addresses GEO from every angle – content, website set-up, etc., helping you future-proof for evolving AI Search landscapes. | Primarily focuses on helping your content get cited, a narrower approach to AI Search. |
