Quest

Overview

Quest Software is an enterprise technology company focused on three interconnected problems that block AI adoption: untrusted data, insecure identities, and legacy infrastructure. Its platform portfolio spans data management, identity security, and platform modernization, giving IT and security teams a unified approach to making their environments AI-ready. The flagship erwin Data Management Platform converges data intelligence, modeling, governance, metadata management, and lineage tracking into a single system. Organizations using erwin can document data assets, enforce shared definitions, and create trusted data products up to 54% faster than manual approaches. It is particularly relevant for enterprises whose AI initiatives are stalling because their data foundations are unreliable or ungoverned. On the security side, Security Guardian integrates with Microsoft Security Copilot, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Defender for Identity, providing cross-platform visibility and actionable threat intelligence. The On Demand Migration product handles Microsoft 365 and Power Platform workload migrations. Quest is available as free trials for most core products.

How It Works

Quest's products operate as SaaS-native or cloud-native solutions that integrate into existing Microsoft and hybrid cloud environments. The erwin platform serves as a central hub where data teams catalog assets, document lineage, and define governance policies. AI capabilities accelerate data product creation by automating documentation, cataloging, and quality scoring across connected data sources. Security Guardian works as an agent within the Microsoft Security Copilot interface, where it extends native Microsoft security with Quest's proprietary identity intelligence and cross-platform visibility. Security teams can query it via natural language within Copilot to surface risks that would otherwise require separate tools. On Demand Migration handles assessment and migration of Microsoft 365 workloads including Teams, SharePoint, Power Apps, and Power Automate. The platform generates migration reports, automates workload transfer, and validates completeness. Enterprise licensing is volume-based and managed through Quest's sales and partner ecosystem.
