There are similar websites providing such informations with very different quality. In a few occasions where I tried to get the data updated/corrected I learned that I would have to pay for it.

affiliated with Gartner.

Hi all,

Recently I came across this Dutch website (

The most important thing I want to bring to the attention of this

presume somewhere data is is pulled/scraped from our official elements.

is that under the functions section (I am confident you can find similar sites in your country/language that shows the same) it does NOT highlight

key features/functions like purchasing, order management, planning,

and time management. This should be corrected asap.
