Notable Vendor: This distinction highlights other vendors identifed in the research process as worthy of buyer consideration. Common reasons for Notable Vendors to not be featured in the Category Chart include differing levels of product focus (a secondary feature within a broader suite) or comparatively lower market adoption metrics, especially for earlier-stage companies. Momentum: Derived from sources like RFI-sourced vendor growth metrics and buyer search interest, the Momentum indicator compares a category’s growth rate with overall information technology (IT) spending growth. Risk: Infuenced by RFI-sourced vendor NPS and adverse outcomes data, the Risk indicator compares the risk profle of a software category to software applications generally. The distribution of strongly negative public user reviews also factors into the Risk indicator level.
