Can you trust your data? If you paused, the answer is no. We built the solution. Every enterprise AI initiative starts with the same assumption: that the data underneath it is ready. It rarely is. Fragmented tools, ungoverned pipelines, and months-long cycles to produce a single trusted data product are
the norm, not the exception. And that’s exactly why so many AI investments are failing to deliver returns.
Quest Software has been helping enterprises understand, govern, optimize, and ultimately trust their data. That foundation matters now more than ever. We saw this tipping point coming in the AI era, and we built accordingly.
The result is the Quest Trusted Data Management Platform featuring the Automated Data Product Factory. It is the industry’s only unified, end-to-end solution that spans from data modeling to governed data products to marketplace. Not another point solution. Not another layer bolted on, creating
another tool you need to manage. A platform built from the ground up to deliver trusted, AI-ready data products in days, not months.
Don’t take our word for it. It’s been validated by Gartner, and our customers, which includes 90% of the Fortune 500. In the 2025 Gartner “Critical Capabilities for Metadata Management Solutions” report, Quest ranked in the top three across all five evaluated use cases, including AI Readiness and
Data Governance.
And it’s the customer who said, “You took something very complex and made it very simple.”
That’s the mission. And we’re just getting started.
