FAQ
The PeerSpot Awards are an annual ranking of the top products in two categories:
- The Tech Leader Awards are an annual ranking of the world’s best Enterprise Technology products based on authentic and timely user reviews from verified reviewers; the awards are given to the top three solutions in the eligible categories as determined by PeerSpot’s ranking methodology.
- The Rising Star Awards recognize the top products that have significantly increased in percent of traffic volume on the PeerSpot review site over the past 12 months in the Tech Leader Awards categories.
The Tech Leader Awards are based on a report that presents the top products within each category based on their average ranking, calculated using a standard arithmetic mean.
The average ranking is determined by considering the last 12 rankings of each product within the category.
For example, if a product was ranked 1st for 9 months and 3rd for the remaining 3 months, the average ranking would be calculated as follows: ((9 * 1) + (3 * 3)) / 12, resulting in an average ranking of 1.75.
PeerSpot’s Review Authentication Policy and Process helps to preserve information credibility and content integrity. The process includes the following measures:
- User reviews must come from real, relevant users. We confirm that reviews are from real users who have used the product/service, or have evaluated it for the purpose of using it for their company, in the past 12 months.
- We require vendors to identify themselves. Employees of tech vendors must identify themselves during registration so that site visitors are able to distinguish between information contributed by vendors versus that contributed by tech professionals.
- We verify every registered user. New users must register with their LinkedIn profile or company email address, which helps us to prevent vendors or non-users from posting fake reviews.
The Rising Star Award recognizes the top products in over 100 solution categories based on in-depth, verified reviews from real users over a 12-month period. Rising Star winning products represent the most promising in their solution category according to verified reviewer insights and experience. Categories for the Rising Star Awards are selected from Tech Leader categories. Not all categories will have a product recognized as a Rising Star.
Only products with their first review posted to the PeerSpot platform within the past 24 months are considered for the Rising Star Award. In addition, the product solution category must have a product increase of 20%, have 5 minimum products per category, and have 3 minimum visible reviews per product. This recognition puts the spotlight on “up-and-comers” and can be viewed as a reflection of growing market interests based on evolving business needs, industry trends, or competitive challenges.
Yes, vendors can win in any category where they have an eligible product.
No, products are assigned to a single category and will only be eligible to win in that category.
