Category Standard

Vinchin (Chengdu Vinchin Technology) is a verified, established provider of enterprise data backup and recovery solutions, founded in 2015. While the submission quality was poor (containing hyperbolic claims like 'most people have used my product' and confusion between revenue/market cap), independent verification confirms a legitimate business with significant traction. The company serves over 30,000 customers globally, has a presence in 60+ countries, and holds 'Strong Performer' status in Gartner Peer Insights. The discrepancy between the low-effort submission and the high-value reality of the project is noted, but the score reflects the actual verified utility and market presence of the software.
