HP WXP Named Strong Performer by Forrester
HP's digital employee experience platform earns a Strong Performer rating in Forrester's Q4 2026 evaluation of ten vendors.
Updated on Nov. 6, 2026 in Remote Work
HP Inc. announced that its HP WXP platform was named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave: Digital Employee Experience Management Solutions, Q4 2026. HP also said WXP was named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Digital Employee Experience (DEX) 2026 Vendor Assessment.
Why it matters
Digital employee experience tools help IT teams monitor and fix problems across the devices and systems employees use, including in hybrid and remote work settings. Analyst rankings like these give organizations an independent reference point when comparing vendors in this category.
The Forrester evaluation covered 10 vendors, with HP receiving the highest possible scores in roadmap, hybrid work experience, and DEX score criteria. HP reports WXP processes about 9.4 million events per month and ingests roughly 1.95 terabytes of telemetry daily, though these figures are company-provided.
The players

Timeline
Earlier in 2026: HP WXP was recognized in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Employee Experience Management Tools.
June 2026: IDC published its DEX 2026 vendor assessment naming HP a Major Player.
Q4 2026: Forrester named HP WXP a Strong Performer.
Roadmap
HP WXP's recognition across Gartner, IDC, and Forrester in 2026 follows the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Employee Experience Management Tools as an earlier independent benchmark. Multiple analyst evaluations in one year point to growing industry attention on DEX tools as a distinct software category.
IT teams evaluating digital employee experience tools can use analyst rankings like Forrester's and IDC's as one input when shortlisting vendors. Organizations weighing platform scale should note that HP's customer, device, and event figures are company-reported.
The takeaway
Independent analyst rankings are useful for narrowing a vendor list, but IT leaders should compare platform capabilities against their own environment before deciding. Reviewing the methodology of each report can clarify what a given rating does and does not measure.
