TORONTO, May 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SoftwareReviews, a division of world-class research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group Inc., has published its 2019 Application Lifecycle Management Data Quadrant Awards, naming three gold medalists in the space:

• Visure
• ALM Works for Jira
• Azure Devops

Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is the specification, design, development, and testing of a software application. ALM covers the entire lifecycle from initial planning through to retirement.

Applications exist in one of four lifecycle stages; to effectively operate each application, you must know to which stage it belongs. Each lifecycle stage presents unique challenges and unique questions that must be answered. Failing to appropriately recognize the lifecycle stage for each application means the organization will ask the wrong questions to drive application functionality, and you will be unable to provide the right answers.

SoftwareReviews' Data Quadrant is based entirely on real user feedback and provides unprecedented levels of insights into data points per product within the category, making it the most comprehensive enterprise software review and assessment in the market today.

IT leaders, business professionals, and end-users evaluate vendors via a detailed online survey, examining relative performance across two axis: Product Features & Satisfaction and Vendor Experience and Capabilities. The reviews are then carefully validated through a robust quality assurance process, beyond checking for LinkedIn authentication.

Another key differentiator of SoftwareReviews, which also helps set the gold medalists apart, is the "Emotional Footprint" (EF) scoring. SoftwareReviews' EF tracks replies across 25 emotional response areas that span five categories: Purchasing, Service Experience, Product Impact, Vendor Strategy, and Conflict Resolution.
