Technology evaluation platform
Be your own analyst.
Stop deciding from quadrants and shortlists. Olive turns your requirements, your stakeholders and your vendors’ answers into the technology decision that is right for your business.
Trusted by technology leaders and consulting firms
A different way to decide
Analyst-depth research, specific to your business
A rigorous technology decision used to mean buying an analyst report, doing all the research yourself, or running a long RFP. Olive gives you the same depth on your own requirements.
- Buy the analyst report: gated, expensive, and ranked for the market, not for your business
- Do the research yourself across vendor sites, spreadsheets and word of mouth
- Run a months-long RFP over email to get real depth
- Start from open vendor research, scored requirement by requirement
- Requirements drafted and weighted for your business, with every vendor scored against them
- One live evaluation, with your stakeholders and your vendors in the same place
