INTRODUCTION

This FrontRunners analysis is a data-driven assessment identifying products in the Hotel

Management software market that offer the best capability and value for small businesses. For a given market, products are evaluated and given a score for the capability (x-axis) and value (y-axis) they bring to users. FrontRunners then plots the top 25-30 products in a quadrant format. In the Hotel Management FrontRunners graphic, the Capability axis starts at 3.00 and ends at 4.20, while the Value axis starts at 3.00 and ends at 4.60.

To be considered for the Hotel Management FrontRunners, a product needed a minimum of 10 user reviews, a minimum capability user rating score of 4.0 and a minimum value user rating score of 4.0. In most cases, we evaluate hundreds of products and feature 20-25 as FrontRunners; all products that qualify as FrontRunners are top performing products in their market.

Each product falls within a designated quadrant based on their axis scores. Dependent on the specific needs of the software buyer, a product placed in any quadrant category could be a good fit.

QUADRANT CATEGORIES:

» Upper Right = Leaders: Leaders are all-around strong products. They offer the highest value and capability in that market.

» Upper Left = Masters: Masters may have fewer capabilities, but end users value those capabilities highly. Depending on the functionality needed, a product positioned in the Masters quadrant might be a better option to consider than products positioned in other quadrants.

» Lower Right = Pacesetters: Pacesetters may offer a strong set of capabilities, but are not rated as high on value. For example, a Pacesetter might have a breadth of functionality at a higher price point.

» Lower Left = Contenders: Contenders are strong-performing products that have not yet achieved the value and capability of the products in the other quadrants. For example, products in this quadrant may be more suited for companies that need more specialized functionality that comes at a price.

Hotel Management sof tware helps organizations perform daily duties, such as

manage reservations, check in guests and coordinate housekeeping, as well as enhance the guest experience using customer relationship management. Software Advice’s FrontRunners quadrant is focused on the North American Hotel Management software market. We identify this set of core capabilities for the Hotel Management software category: reservation management, frontoffice and housekeeping management, as well as at least one of the following: point of sale and/or maintenance management.

In addition, we identify several related features that organizations purchasing Hotel Management software may also need or wish to consider: online booking engine, central reservations, customer relationship management (CRM), revenue management, channel management, catering, employee management, guest experience management and marketing management.

Providers listed as Runners Up were considered for inclusion in the quadrant, but were ultimately

not included for one or more reasons: they did not have enough reviews; they did not meet the reviews score minimum; they did not meet the ultimate Value and Capability minimum scores; or they did not meet our functionality requirements for the market.

The FrontRunners methodology assesses and calculates a score for products on two primary

dimensions: Capability on the x-axis and Value on the y-axis.

THE CAPABILITY SCORE IS AN OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF SCORES INCLUDING:

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s functionality.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s ease of use.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on the product’s customer support.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the product’s inclusion of key functionality for the software category.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the number of other products that integrate with it.

THE VALUE SCORE IS AN OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF SCORES INCLUDING:

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on overall satisfaction with the product.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on how valuable users consider the product to be relative to its price.

» End-user ratings of one to five stars on how likely they are to recommend the product to others.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the size of the product’s customer base.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, for the number of professionals in the market who have experience with the product (e.g., users, developers, administrators).

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the total number of user reviews across the three Gartner web properties.

» A score, relative to other products in the market, representing the average number of times per month internet users search for the product on Google.

Markets are defined by a core set of functionality, and products considered for, and included in, FrontRunners must offer that core set of functionality. Additional related functionality can contribute to the capability score for a product. To qualify for consideration in a FrontRunners quadrant, a product must have a minimum number of unique, user-submitted product reviews across the three Gartner Digital Markets web properties: softwareadvice.com, capterra.com and getapp.com. The minimum number of reviews required per product may differ by category, but will generally be between 10 and 20 unique reviews.
