Selecting the right enterprise data and analytics product requires a structured approach to evaluate vendors based on key business and technical criteria. Our Enterprise Data & Analytics Product Evaluation Templates provide organizations with ready-to-use scorecards and worksheets to streamline the selection process.

These templates help teams compare products objectively, assess vendor viability, and document key evaluation factors such as scalability, security, and governance. Whether refining requirements or conducting final vendor assessments, these templates ensure a consistent and data-driven decision-making process.

Option 1: Feature-Based Scorecard

This structured scorecard enables teams to evaluate vendor capabilities across core business and technical factors while assigning weighted scores to key functions.

Key Evaluation Factors:

• Customers & Market Presence – Review vendor reputation, customer base, and market position.
• Vendor Viability – Assess financial health, revenue stability, profitability, and investment history.
• Pricing & Licensing Models – Compare pricing structures, licensing options, and potential hidden costs.
• Support & Training – Evaluate vendor support services, SLA response times, multilingual support, and training programs.
• Scalability & Roadmap – Examine long-term growth potential, product innovation, and alignment with enterprise needs.

How It Works: Teams can score vendors on a scale of 0-5, with weighting factors assigned based on organizational priorities. An additional comments section allows users to document strengths, weaknesses, and justifications for assigned scores.

Option 2: Customizable Vendor Evaluation Scorecard

This blank evaluation template allows teams to define and prioritize their own criteria. Instead of starting from scratch, users can customize the feature description, priority levels, and scoring framework based on their specific needs.

Template Features:

• Preformatted evaluation structure with space for vendor names, feature descriptions, and notes.
• Scoring guide to ensure consistent assessment across vendors.
• Follow-up items tracker to capture pending assessments and critical evaluation gaps.

Since every organization has unique requirements, this template provides a structured starting point that can be adapted to any technology category.
