Hands-on reviews. Transparent scores. Zero pay-to-play.

Every review on Softechnology is written by an editor who used the product — for at least a week, in the conditions it was built for. Here's how we test, how we score, and where to start.

Scoring system

How we score, out of 100

Every product is measured against the same five criteria — with weights published up front, so you can see exactly how a verdict was reached.

Criterion	Weight	What we measure
Performance	25%	Real-world benchmarks under sustained load — not marketing peaks.
Value	25%	Price against the total capability delivered, not against MSRP alone.
Reliability	20%	Uptime, thermal stability, network consistency over 7–30 day tests.
Experience	15%	Setup, daily use, dashboard quality and long-term ergonomics.
Support	15%	Response times, technical depth and warranty follow-through.

Editorial principles

What every Softechnology review guarantees

Every review is tested

No product is scored from a spec sheet. If we couldn't test it, we don't publish a verdict.

Affiliates disclosed

Commissions are declared on every review. Rankings never move for money.

Awards, when earned

Editor's Choice and Best Value badges are awarded sparingly and re-earned every 12 months.

Editor's Choice

Reserved for the products we'd buy ourselves.

Fewer than 5% of tested products earn our Editor's Choice badge — and it's revoked when a better option arrives or a provider's quality drops.
