About AgentCompare

Our Scoring Methodology

AgentCompare uses a comprehensive evaluation framework powered by an AI agent that systematically assesses AI agent solutions across four critical dimensions. Our methodology combines thorough research with evidence-based scoring to provide objective, actionable insights for enterprise decision-making. Each evaluation is grounded in verifiable information from multiple authoritative sources, ensuring reliability and transparency.

Technical Score (1-5)

Evaluates the underlying technology stack, architecture quality, scalability, performance, and engineering practices of each AI agent platform.

Score 5 - Cutting-Edge & Robust
Microservices/cloud-native architecture, handles 10K+ concurrent users, sub-100ms response times, SOC2/ISO27001 certified, weekly releases with 99.9%+ uptime
Score 3 - Standard & Adequate
Monolithic or basic distributed architecture, supports 500-1000 users, response times under 1 second, standard security practices, monthly updates
Score 1 - Poor & Flawed
Legacy architecture, frequent downtime, slow response times (>3 seconds), security vulnerabilities, infrequent updates or abandoned projects
Evidence We Look For: Load testing results, uptime metrics, security audits, code quality reports, deployment frequency, performance benchmarks
Business Value Score (1-5)

Assesses the potential to deliver tangible business benefits, solve critical problems, and generate measurable return on investment.

Score 5 - Transformational Value
300%+ ROI within 12 months, 50%+ productivity gains, automates critical business processes, Fortune 500 customer success stories with quantified benefits
Score 3 - Moderate Value
100-200% ROI within 18-24 months, 20-30% efficiency improvements, solves specific business pain points, positive customer testimonials
Score 1 - Unclear/Negative Value
No clear ROI timeline, minimal productivity gains (<10%), high implementation costs, limited or negative customer feedback
Evidence We Look For: Customer case studies with metrics, ROI calculators, implementation timelines, productivity measurements, cost-benefit analyses
Risk Score (1-5, Higher = More Risk)

Analyzes security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, operational risks, and vendor stability to provide a comprehensive risk assessment.

Score 5 - Major Risk
Known data breaches, no compliance certifications, <95% uptime, startup with limited funding, frequent security patches for critical vulnerabilities
Score 3 - Standard Risk
Basic encryption, some compliance (GDPR/CCPA), 95-99% uptime, established company with standard business practices, occasional minor security updates
Score 1 - Very Low Risk
Zero-trust architecture, SOC2 Type II, HIPAA, FedRAMP certified, 99.9%+ uptime, Fortune 1000 company, proactive security monitoring
Evidence We Look For: Security audit reports, compliance certificates, breach history, SLA agreements, financial reports, vulnerability disclosures
Integration Score (1-5)

Evaluates the ease, breadth, and quality of system integration capabilities, including APIs, SDKs, and enterprise connectivity.

Score 5 - Excellent Integration
REST/GraphQL APIs, SDKs for 5+ languages, 50+ pre-built connectors (Salesforce, SAP, etc), SAML/OAuth SSO, webhook support, 24/7 developer support
Score 3 - Adequate Integration
REST API, 1-2 SDK languages, 10-20 connectors, basic SSO, documented endpoints, community support with response within 48 hours
Score 1 - Poor/No Integration
Limited/no APIs, no SDKs, <5 connectors, manual data export/import only, poor documentation, minimal support response
Evidence We Look For: API documentation quality, SDK examples, connector marketplace, integration guides, developer testimonials, support response times
Evidence-Based Evaluation

Every score is backed by verifiable evidence from authoritative sources. Our evaluation process prioritizes:

Third-party benchmarks and independent audits
Customer case studies and implementation examples
Technical documentation and architecture details
Security certifications and compliance records
Performance metrics and reliability data
Industry analyst reports and expert reviews

Default Scoring: When comprehensive evidence is not available, solutions receive a score of 3 (Standard/Adequate) representing expected performance for typical enterprise use cases. This conservative approach ensures our evaluations remain reliable and actionable.
