FinOps Cost Management Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025
Nov. 13, 2025As cloud costs grow more dynamic and AI use proliferates, FinOps is evolving from cost reporting to a broader operating model that blends granular cost/usage analytics with governance and policy management, AI-powered automation, sustainability/carbon tracking, and unit-economics visibility. Leading platforms integrate with ITSM, ERP, and DevOps pipelines and increasingly span multi-cloud, SaaS, Kubernetes, and AI workloads to align agility with financial accountability. Providers are responding with AI copilots and advanced analytics. However, overall maturity remains uneven. Most platforms deliver strong anomaly detection and actionable insights, but fully automated, hands-free remediation is still uncommon. Buyers need to prioritize demonstrable savings, intuitive usability, seamless integration, flexible commercial models, and partner-like support when selecting platforms. In this report, we assess 19 FinOps providers featured in the FinOps Cost Management Products PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025 and categorize them as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants, based on their capabilities and offerings. -

Care Management Platforms for Payers – Provider Compendium 2025
Nov. 04, 2025The shift toward value-based care, proactive population health management, and quality-linked reimbursement models is rapidly transforming the healthcare industry. Care management platforms have become foundational infrastructure, enabling organizations to manage chronic conditions, close care gaps, enhance regulatory reporting, and improve member outcomes. Recent advances have extended platform capabilities beyond documentation to include AI-enabled orchestration, real-time analytics, and interoperability frameworks that integrate Electronic Health Records (EHRs), claims, labs, pharmacy data, social determinants of health, and wearables. Providers are increasingly embedding generative AI for care plan automation, conversational engagement, and clinical record summarization, while agentic AI is beginning to assist in decision-making areas such as prior authorization. Despite these innovations, challenges persist in achieving seamless EHR integration, end-to-end workflow automation, and consistent adoption of next-generation features. Consequently, buyers are emphasizing platforms that offer scalability, automation, user-centric design, and interoperability with other systems. Providers, in turn, are differentiating through domain-focused capabilities (for example, chronic disease management and behavioral health), star optimization, and interoperability maturity. This report evaluates care management platform providers, positioning them as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants based on their vision, capabilities, and market impact. The analysis leverages Everest Group’s annual RFI process, provider briefings, buyer interviews, and proprietary market research. -
