We're Different
Our Reports Are Different
CMS Watch is not your typical analyst firm:
- Our reports are the result of careful research by independent industry veterans with strong technical backgrounds, and are informed by interviews with actual customers.
- Our reports always begin with a business case analysis that you can use to evaluate your strategic options (and share with your boss). But we are not cheerleaders: these solutions can be complicated to implement, and we remain honest about the real costs and effort required to get them to work.
- Our reports delve into significant technical detail, not just about the overall fields they cover, but about the specific products we discuss. We get beyond vendor PowerPoint slides and routine Excel checklists to offer useful analysis for architects, developers, and other engineers.
- At the same time, we simplify complex topics through custom illustrations and screenshots showing the products in action.
- Our assessments are completely independent. CMS Watch analysts receive no funding from the vendors we cover and have no incentive to favor one over the other. When we see something negative about a product or a vendor, we say it. When a vendor does something well, we write about it, and expect nothing in return.
- More importantly, CMS Watch never ranks "best" or "magic" vendors. Instead we detail the strengths and weaknesses of the various solutions, then identify their suitability for different types of use cases, while isolating vendor tendencies that may influence longterm product roadmaps.
- Our reports conclude with a list of pitfalls to avoid when implementing any of these solutions -- gathered from the hard experience of those who have gone before you. We also provide practical product selection roadmaps.
- Above all, whenever we look at products, or assess the latest buzz phrases, or describe features, we try to put ourselves in your position: the technology buyer.
