Comparative Analysis is designed to help you compare products across the customer journey of buying, deployment, and post deployment. It provides a comprehensive view of how users rate your product on various aspects of the customer experience. This information is crucial in understanding your product rating against your peers and understand user needs and expectations throughout the buying process. Use the filters to select the products that matter most to your product strategy and benchmark them side by side.
