About the IDC MarketScape
About IDC MarketScape: IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of IT, telecommunications, or industry-specific suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT, telecommunications, or industry-specific vendors can be meaningfully compared. The framework also provides technology buyers with a transparent foundation to allow companies to independently compare the strengths and weaknesses of current and prospective vendors.
About the Ventana Research Value Index
The Value Index is the result of more than a decade of analysis of technology suppliers and their products and how well they satisfy specific business and IT needs. The methodology used to produce the Value Index evaluates in detail aspects of product functionality and suitability-to-task as well as the effectiveness of vendor support for the buying process and customer assurance. The Ventana Research Value Index is an impartial and authoritative evaluation and does not endorse any vendor technology.
About the Nucleus Research Value Matrix
The Nucleus Research Value Matrix is based on functionality and usability, the two core measures that Nucleus has found indicate an application's ability to deliver initial ROI and, ultimately, maximum value over time. This approach matches the user buying process of comparing the features and usability among the vendors under consideration against the cost of the solution. The Value Matrix is a relative ranking against competitors rather than an absolute ranking, which highlights vendors whose solutions remain dynamic.
