Vendor Scoring Framework
Netify ranks providers using verified engineering data. We combine latency metrics, security validation and commercial benchmarking to calculate the Netify Score.
The Netify Score™
A generic rating is useless for specific projects. We calculate unique suitability scores derived from three primary data clusters.
Technical Fit (40%)
Network physics: PoP density, backbone throughput, packet loss guarantees and protocol optimisation.
Security Stack (35%)
SASE components: ZTNA, SWG, CASB and FWaaS integration levels. Native vs third-party partnerships.
Commercial Value (25%)
Total Cost of Ownership analysis. Licensing benchmarks and hidden costs like support tiers.
Sector Specific Weighting
A vendor ranked as a Leader for Retail may rank as a Challenger for Finance. Our algorithm adjusts weighting based on six industry compliance models.
Financial Services
PoP density in trading hubs. FCA alignment and data residency controls.
Healthcare
Medical device segmentation. NHS DSP Toolkit and HIPAA compliance.
Retail
4G/5G failover for EPOS continuity. Native PCI DSS compliance.
Manufacturing
APAC production reach without public internet loss. OT security mandatory.
Legal
Granular DLP rules with file transfer restrictions by matter codes.
Logistics
Mobile SASE for handheld scanners and fleet telematics.
Data Inputs
Direct Feed
Vendor APIs and engineering documentation.
User Validation
Anonymised performance data from RFPs.
Analyst Correlation
Cross-reference against Gartner and Forrester reports.
Human Oversight
Algorithms handle volume. Experts handle nuance. Every ranking is reviewed by our Principal Architect.
Rankings are immutable. A provider may pay Netify a commission when a sale completes. Commercial terms do not change scoring.
Standards & Governance
Editorial Integrity
Vendor scoring is isolated from partnerships. We adhere to the Market Research Society Code of Conduct.
Data Sovereignty
We comply with the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR. No third-party data sales without consent.
