News that affects your shortlist

A vendor announcement makes this page only when it changes a buying decision: a price or packaging change, a feature moving between plans, an acquisition that puts a product's roadmap in doubt, an end-of-support date, or a security incident that customers need to act on. Funding rounds, award wins and partnership press releases do not, unless they change what you would put on a shortlist.

Each story links to the vendor's own notice or documentation, says who is affected, and ends with what to do about it, whether that is checking a renewal date, re-reading a contract clause or testing an alternative. Where we have a review, comparison or pricing page for the product, the story links to it, so you can see how the change fits the wider picture.

News is checked against its sources the same way as the rest of the site; ourresearch methodology explains how. If a story is wrong or has been overtaken by events, thecorrections policy explains how to tell us and what happens next.
