Evaluator Group Releases New EvaluScale Product Comparison Matrices with Technology Coverage from SAN to Scale-out Data Protection to Converged Systems

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Evaluator Group today announced the release of the new EvaluScale Comparison Matrices, a side-by-side information management product/vendor comparison tool with ratings on the top ten criteria for product selection. This new comparison tool provides additional value and functionality than the former Interactive Comparison Matrices.

The Evaluator Group Comparison Matrices are the fastest, most accurate way to compare infrastructure products. Whether it is SANs, Hyperconverged Systems, Object, NAS, Data Protection or others. Now, with the addition of the EvaluScale product assessment, the EvaluScale Comparison Matrices provide a side-by-side comparison of features while giving users the ability to see if different products meet requirements for Evaluator Group's review criteria.

The Evaluator Group "EvaluScale" assesses each product within a specific technology area. In each technology area, Evaluator Group defines the top 10 list of decision-making criteria and ranks the product as either "meets requirements", "exceeds requirements" or is an "area for development" for each criterion.

Inside the EvaluScale table, Evaluator Group provides the criteria being assessed, a description of the criteria and requirements that the product should meet. It also shows if the product does or doesn't meet/exceed the requirement. Evaluator Group explanation of why the product does or doesn't meet/exceed a requirement is listed in each associated Product Brief found in the Evaluator Group online Research Library. Try out the free EvaluScale Comparison Matrix for the Entry Level SAN products.

The EvaluScale Comparison Matrices provide more value and functionality than the former Interactive Comparison Matrices in the following ways:

• No special software required for use
• Easy-to-use Print/PDF feature
• Combines side-by-side product comparison feature with EvaluScale product review methodology
• No download required
• Compare up to 5 different vendors/products

Evaluator Group does not rely on vendor data sheets or self-reporting data; rather they dig into the products and thoroughly vet the vendor provided information and claims. The results are product comparisons that are accurate, easy-to-use and reliable.

"By combining EvaluScale with the Comparison Matrix, we have created a simple tool that streamlines decision-making processes. From inside the EvaluScale Comparison Matrix, premium subscription clients can access the associated Product Briefs and get a better understanding on the "why" of our rankings," said Camberley Bates, Managing Director & Analyst, Evaluator Group.

Evaluator Group produces a full library of research to help IT End Users streamline product decisions and help vendor product managers keep abreast with the latest in technologies. This research includes:
1.    Evaluation Guides, (free with website registration) covering introductions to technology areas
2.    Product Briefs with the EvaluScale details on product rankings
3.    Product Comparison Matrices and the interactive EvaluScale Comparison Matrices
4.    Product Analysis with a full technical overview of the product
