WHY PERISCOPE
A recommendation is only as useful as the intelligence behind it
There are more ways than ever to research a technology purchase. Each solves part of the problem.
Traditional analyst firms bring deep expertise, but published research can quickly fall behind a changing market. General AI will give you an answer in seconds, though whether it's a useful answer depends heavily on the information behind it. Or you can do what many technology teams still do: piece together analyst research, vendor claims, reviews and demos yourself.
