Call it the Cause & Effect story or the Chicken & Hen syndrome, we have a competing product for the Magic Quadrant and it’s called………hold your breath …..the Forrester Wave (did I hear clapping sound 
).
Ahem….I would not be the right person to comment on who copied who. According to Forrester Website, http://www.forrester.com/wave
” One of your biggest challenges is evaluating and selecting vendor products and services. That’s why we created the Forrester Wave — our call on a particular market or technology. Whether you’re investing in application server platforms or content management providers, the Forrester Wave makes it easy for you to make well-informed decisions.
The new Forrester Wave offers:
- A detailed analysis of vendors’ products and services based on transparent, fully accessible criteria.
- A powerful Excel spreadsheet that allows you to easily compare products and get in-depth data and analysis about each one.
- Tools to develop a custom shortlist based on your company’s unique requirements “
