Quest Software data products have been named to Database Trends and Applications’ (DBTA) 2026 Trend-Setting Products in Data and Information Management.
Each year, DBTA highlights products that help organizations manage data as environments grow more complex and AI adoption increases. The 2026 list reflects a shift toward stronger data governance, visibility, and control, all essential for AI initiatives.
This year, DBTA recognized multiple Quest data solutions, including the erwin Data Management Platform, along with Toad, SharePlex, and Foglight. These products support teams that need to understand where data comes from, how it moves, and how it is used across cloud and on-premises systems.
At the center of the recognition is the erwin Data Management Platform for its ability to bring data intelligence, modeling, governance, metadata management, and AI-driven use cases into a single integrated platform. The platform helps organizations document data assets, track lineage, and establish shared definitions, which are critical when data feeds AI and business decision-making.
Beyond governance, DBTA also pointed to Quest tools that support operational data work. Toad streamlines database development, administration, and performance tuning across multiple platforms. SharePlex delivers reliable, real-time database replication for high availability and scalability across platforms. Foglight provides end-to-end monitoring and diagnostics across databases, applications, and hybrid infrastructures environments. Together, these tools help organizations balance operational stability with long-term data strategy.
This recognition aligns with Quest’s broader strategy to help customers thrive in the era of AI with a foundation of trusted, AI-ready data.
“At a time when AI is pushing organizations to move faster with data, trust becomes the real bottleneck,” said Bharath Vasudevan, VP of Solutions Strategy and Growth at Quest Software. “This recognition reflects our focus on helping customers clearly understand their data, govern it responsibly, and use it with confidence as they expand AI use cases.”
For customers and partners, inclusion in the 2026 Trend-Setting Products list signals alignment with where data management is headed. AI programs rely on trusted data. Platforms that provide visibility, governance, and control help teams reduce rework, limit risk, and move AI initiatives from pilots into production.
