Recognition Criteria

Recognition will be given to a maximum of seven vendors in a market according to these criteria:

  • The vendor must have at least one product designated by our research analysts as relevant to the market. Vendors with excessive concentrations from a specific geographic region*, industry** or non-enterprise users*** are not considered.
  • During the submission period — defined as 12 months prior to the eligibility cutoff date — a vendor must have:
    • 50 or more published reviews
    • An average overall rating of 4.2 stars or greater.
  • In markets where more than seven vendors meet the above criteria, the seven vendors with the highest number of published reviews within the submission period will be selected for the designation.

Ratings and reviews must first pass our validation, conflict of interest and moderation process — please see our Peer Insights Review FAQ here.
