How we cover vendors

  • Independent — no vendor controls what we publish about them
  • Disclosed — Sush works at Microsoft. Microsoft pages disclose this. Other vendors disclosed if any relationship exists.
  • Hands-on — we cover what we've actually deployed, not what we read in docs
  • Versioned — vendor pages have last-reviewed dates; we revisit when they ship major updates
  • Comparable — every vendor page covers the same axes (capabilities, ecosystem, pricing, lock-in, where they lead, where they lag)
