Vendor Landscape: Cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service
Control costs while expanding your infrastructure possibilities.
More DetailsWhat is a Value Score?
The Value Score indexes each vendor’s product offering and business strength relative to their price point. It does not indicate vendor ranking.
Vendors that score high offer more bang for the buck (e.g. features, usability, stability, etc.) than the average vendor, while the inverse is true for those that score lower.
Price-conscious enterprises may wish to give the Value Score more consideration than those who are more focused on specific vendor/product attributes.

Hey,
Just a suggestion but could you add the ability for me to tweet/Facebook the solution sets etc. Although this is a paid service why not have your clients advertise if they like it. Otherwise I have to retweet an analyst or tweet it out with a tool I may/may not have loaded.
