The Info-Tech Research Group’s report spotlights the industry’s top-tier vendors based on Value Index and Net Emotional Footprint.

Additionally, the scores recorded from users, the recency of reviews and number of reviews contributed to Acronis’ placement on the Emotional Footprint Diamond. ## SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint Awards Each year, Info-Tech Research Group’s SoftwareReviews Emotional Footprint Awards evaluates industry-leading vendors and products based on the emotional response ratings of real-world IT and business professional users. The evaluation uses a one-of-a-kind Emotional Footprint methodology to aggregate data on emotional footprint scores across 26 dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product. All 26 dimensions span five categories, including Purchasing, Service Experience, Product Impact, Vendor Strategy and Conflict Resolution. The percentage of negative reviews is subtracted from the percentage of positive reviews to yield the final calculation. Emotional Footprint Awards are built on 100% user review data and are liberated from traditional influences such as market presence, analyst opinion, vendor pressure and financial obligation.
