Why it Matters

Know when customer evidence comes from a real customer.

The Validated by PeerSpot trustmark makes that validation visible when PeerSpot customer evidence appears outside of PeerSpot.

Buyers can recognize validated customer evidence whether they encounter it on PeerSpot, a technology vendor’s website, in a report, on social media, in sales content or elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why customer evidence needs a trust signal

AI has made creating convincing content easier than ever. A quote can look like a customer quote. A testimonial can sound authentic. A customer story can be generated in seconds.
‍
The challenge for buyers is increasingly simple: Did a real customer actually say it?
‍
Validated by PeerSpot helps answer that question. Instead of asking buyers to trust a piece of content because a vendor published it, the trustmark provides an independent signal that the underlying customer evidence has been validated by PeerSpot.

What is the difference between “Validated” and “Verified”?

Verified typically means that a specific fact has been confirmed, such as a person's identity, email address, company or product usage.
‍
Validated by PeerSpot goes further. It means PeerSpot has applied its validation process to the customer evidence and the source behind it, so the evidence is eligible to carry the PeerSpot trustmark.
‍
Verified = we confirmed something about the person or experience.
‍
Validated by PeerSpot = this customer evidence has met PeerSpot's standard for authentic customer evidence.

PeerSpot may use verification as part of its validation process. The Validated by PeerSpot trustmark is the signal buyers see that the evidence has met that broader standard.
