What makes the SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint different? Inclusion of aggregated emotional response ratings in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation. Together they create a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product from the software users' point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.

"Maintaining a strong web presence is a critical pillar of a broader omnichannel strategy. While many organizations are looking to invest in other channels (such as social, mobile and text services) alongside traditional web sites, the latter is still your organization's 'front door to the world," says Ben Dickie, research director, Info-Tech Research Group'. Most customers begin their omnichannel journey with a web search, and having the right content and services on your website is critically important to reach both prospective and existing customers. A Web Experience Management (WEM) platform provides the range of capabilities necessary to build, deploy and manage great web content and experiences."

concrete5, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +95, has performed exceptionally in all categories, specifically exceeding expectations in being respectful and inspiring. Episerver, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +91, also performed remarkably across all categories, particularly in having unique features, client interest first, and being efficient and altruistic. Enonic Xp, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +90, is noted for continually improving its product and ranked number one in being effective, caring, and having security user's feel protects. Bloomreach with a Net Emotional Footprint of +90, earned the strongest positive emotions in being fair and effective.

Weebly, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +89, performed well overall, satisfying users by being reliable and generous and effective in saving time.
