Amazon, VMware, Shoretel, Apple and Google Are Top Five Rated Vendors
on VendorRate.com at LinuxWorld Conference & Expo 2008
Linux Users Uphold Their Maverick Bent by Posting Lower Overall
Scores for Vendors than Previous Ratings on VendorRate
LOS GATOS, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) August 19, 2008 --
VendorRate (www.vendorrate.com)
announced today that IT professionals attending the LinuxWorld Expo 2008
Conference in San Francisco this month gave their highest customer
satisfaction scores to technology vendors Amazon, VMware, Shoretel,
Apple and Google.
VendorRate.com, the only Internet site that offers quick, confidential
performance ratings and comparisons of technology vendors, said hundreds
of vendors were rated during the August 5-7 show attended by some 10,000
Linux users. Attendees were invited to rate any IT or telecom vendor,
regardless of whether they were among the 200 exhibiting at the show.
While raters at LinuxWorld 2008 demonstrated their general propensity
for alternative technologies in their ratings, they also proved to be
more scrutinous in their evaluations, delivering lower overall
performance scores than vendors had received on VendorRate prior to the
show.
“This knowledgeable crowd showed the kind of
independence we’ve come to expect from Linux
users,” said Rick Schaefer, CEO of VendorRate. “LinuxWorld
attendees may seem like a tough crowd for vendors to please, but they
are quite willing to compliment a vendor they feel is doing a good job.”
With a maximum possible score of 100 based on ten key performance
categories, Schaefer said, Amazon Web Services received the top
cumulative rating of 89, followed by VMware (88), Shoretel (88), Apple
Desktop/Notebook (87) and Google (87).
Intel, CDW, Network Appliance, Emerson Network Power, Cisco Systems and
IBM Server & Systems rounded out the top ten vendors at the show with
scores of 80 or above.
Companies with the lowest total ratings among frequently rated vendors
were Microsoft Operating Systems (38), AT&T Wireless (39), Oracle
Applications (39), Sprint Nextel (44) and Rogers Wireless (51), Schaefer
said.
