Annual Security Roundup Vendor Shortlist Tool

Author(s): James McCloskey, Jessica Ireland

This tool allows enterprises to profile their security requirements and generate a rank-ordered vendor shortlist from a fixed list of vendors. Vendor profiles are based on Info-Tech’s recent in-depth review of the security market. The tool includes the following specific aspects of analysis:

  • Variable prioritization for product suitability based on scores from past Vendor Landscapes – which include advanced features, product usability, architecture, and relative cost.
  • Variable prioritization for vendor suitability based on vendor viability, vendor focus on the mid-market, breadth of the vendor support organization, and size and strength of the channel.
  • Weightings to adjust the contribution of various suitability factors to overall vendor ranking.
  • A self-sorted ranking list of security vendors based on user input.

Narrow the vendors to a shortlist of solutions that best satisfy your organization’s requirements before sending out RFPs and scheduling vendor demonstrations.
