Awards are based on a 12-month average of PeerSpot’s ranking algorithm as outlined below.
- The top 3 vendors in each category receive award (#1 = gold, #2 = silver, #3 = bronze).
- For each of Reviews, Views and Comparisons:
- The product with the highest count in each ranking factor gets a maximum 18 points.
- Every other product gets assigned points based on its total in proportion to the #1 product in that ranking factor. For example, if a product has 80% of the number of reviews compared to the product with the most reviews, then the product’s points for reviews would be 18 * 80% = 14.4.
- Both Rating and Words/Review are awarded on a fixed linear scale:
- For Rating, the maximum score is 28 points awarded linearly between 6-10.
- 6 or below = 0 points
- 7.5 = 10.5 points
- 9.0 = 21 points
- 10 = 28 points
