INTRODUCTIONThisFrontRunnersanalysisIn the Manufacturing FrontRunnersis a data-driven assessmentgraphic, the minimum qualifyingidentifyingproductsintheManufacturing software market thatoffer the best capability and valuefor small businesses. For a givenmarket,productsareevaluatedand given a score for Usability(x-axis) and User Recommendations(y-axis). FrontRunners then plots 1015 products each on a Small Vendorand an Enterprise Vendor graphic,based on vendor business size, perscores were 3.51 for Usability and3.37 for User ners,theaproduct needed a minimum of 20user reviews published within 18months of the evaluation period.Products needed a minimum userrating score of 3.0 for both Usabilityand User Recommended.category.3
IntroductionThe minimum score cutoff to be included inthe FrontRunners graphic varies by category,depending on the range of scores in each category.No product with a score less than 3.0 in eitherdimension is included in any FrontRunners graphic.For products included, the Usability and UserRecommended scores determine their positionson the FrontRunners graphic.4

METHODOLOGYBASICSThe FrontRunners methodologyThe User Recommended score isassessesan overall weighted average ofandcalculatesascore for products on two primarydimensions: Usability on the x-axisand User Recommended on they-axis.The Usability score is a weightedaverage of user ratings including: End-user ratings of one to fivestars on the product’s ease ofuse. End-user ratings of one tofive stars on the product’sfunctionality.scores including: End-user ratings of one to fivestars on how valuable usersconsider the product to berelative to its price. End-user ratings of one to fivestars on how likely they areto recommend the product toothers.There are up to two FrontRunnersgraphics for each market, one SmallVendor and one Enterprise Vendorgraphic. The Small Vendor graphichighlights qualifiers from smaller(by employee size) vendors, while11
M ethodology Basicsthe Enterprise Vendor graphic displays qualifiersfor larger (by employee size) vendors.1Markets are defined by a core set of functionality,and to be eligible for FrontRunners, productsmust offer that core set of functionality. Corefunctionality required is determined by ourresearch analysts, who provide coverage forandhavefamiliaritywithproductsinthatmarket. Additionally, a product must have atleast 20 unique user-submitted product reviewsacross the three Gartner Digital Markets webproperties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com andgetapp.com, which must have been publishedwithin 18 months of the start of the analysis period.Inclusion in the Small Vendor or Enterprise VendorFrontRunners graphic is based on the vendor’semployee count. Vendors eligible for the EnterpriseVendor graphic must have more than the medianemployee count for all vendors in the market, or100 employees—whichever is greater. Vendorswhose employee counts do not meet either ofthose thresholds qualify for the Small Vendorgraphic.In the event fewer than 10 products qualify for either a SmallVendor or Enterprise Vendor FrontRunners graphic, the vendorsthat do qualify will be combined into a single graphic.112
