How we score
Our 10-point scores weigh the factors our research shows change outcomes: core capability, ease of adoption, pricing honesty, ecosystem and support. A 9+ score means we would recommend it to most buyers in its category without reservation. Scores are reassessed as products and pricing change — software does not stand still, and neither do our verdicts.
