Product Reviews

  • Delivers succinct, in-depth product knowledge in 6000-8000 words
  • Guarantees impartiality — vendors do not pay to be reviewed
  • Written by our team of experienced analysts, led by Nigel Pendse
  • Based on experience in the field and tests in the BARC software lab.


Each review begins with an overview of the vendor and goes on to describe aspects of the product such as licensing, architecture, administration, front-ends and reporting. The conclusion section gives a general overview of the product’s strengths and weaknesses and lists other similar products. We provide our own screenshots that illustrate key aspects of the product, not just vendor demo shots.
