// The Vendor Index

Every spotlight, stack-ranked

Every vendor The Perimeter has put under the microscope, ranked by composite score. Click any vendor to jump straight to the full dossier — pitch vs. reality, community pulse, and the signal read.

Composite = average of the four scored axes in that issue. Axes vary slightly by vendor (e.g. Okta's "Trust & Track Record" replaces the usual sentiment axis) — see each dossier's METHOD note for why. Rankings update as issues publish; a vendor can move as new evidence comes in.

How this index works

Each score comes from that issue's Vendor Spotlight — synthesized from G2, Gartner Peer Insights, Glassdoor, practitioner forums, vendor financials, and (where relevant) litigation and incident records. Full sourcing and methodology notes live in each dossier.

Composite is a simple average of that vendor's four axes. We don't smooth or curve it, and a vendor with an unusual axis (like Okta's Trust score) is averaged as-is — which can make comparisons across very different vendors imperfect. Read the dossier, not just the number.

This index is not sponsored. No vendor pays for placement, a score, or a ranking position.
