INTRODUCTIONThis FrontRunners analysis is a data-drivenassessment identif ying products in theManufacturing market that offer the best capabilityand value for small businesses. For a given market,products are evaluated and given a score for thecapability (x-axis) and value (y-axis) they bringto users. FrontRunners then plots the top 25-30products in a quadrant format.In the Manufacturing FrontRunners graphic, theCapability axis starts at 2.50 and ends at 4.20, whilethe Value axis starts at 2.30 and ends at 4.30.To be considered for the Manufacturing FrontRunners,a product needed a minimum of 10 user reviews,a minimum capability user rating score of 3.2 anda minimum value user rating score of 3.4. In mostcases, we evaluate hundreds of products and feature20-25 as FrontRunners; all products that qualify asFrontRunners are top performing products in theirmarket.JUNE 20174
I ntroductionEach product falls within a designated quadrant based ontheir axis scores. Dependent on the specific needs of thesoftware buyer, a product placed in any quadrant categorycould be a good fit.QUADRANT CATEGORIES:»» Upper Right Leaders: Leaders are all-around strongproducts. They offer a wide range of functionalityto a wide range of customers. These products areconsidered highly valuable by customers.»» Upper Left Masters: Masters may focus moreheavily on certain key features or market segmentsthan Leaders do. If you need a more specialized set offunctionality without bells and whistles, then a productin the Masters quadrant might be right for you.»» Lower Right Pacesetters: Pacesetters may offer astrong set of features, but are not rated as highly onvalue. For example, a Pacesetter might offer greaterfunctionality, but cost more.»» Lower Left Contenders: Contenders may focus ona more specialized set of capabilities that are priced ata higher point. This makes them ideal for companieswilling to pay more for specific features that meettheir unique needs.JUNE 20175
