Comparing Matching Solutions

Comparing matching solutions and selecting the best one for a specific use case is a difficult task. Many different factors influence the decision. Mainly they can be grouped by the following:

1. The general performance of a matching solution, measured with metrics, such as precision or recall
2. The effort to configure a matching solution, measured with metrics, such as the time to configure or total cost of ownership

Snowman provides two different analysis tools designed for specifically this use case:

KPI Decision Matrix	The KPI Decision Matrix provides you with the most important kpis to make an informed buying decision.
KPI Investigator	The KPI Investigator allows you to contrast accross matching solutions metrics, such as precision, with soft kpis, such as configuration effort.
