Category Standard

Zylo is a verified market leader in the SaaS Management Platform (SMP) space with significant backing ($72M+ funding) and enterprise adoption (Adobe, Slack, etc.). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality (placeholder names, false claims like 'everyone' as audience, and lack of provided evidence). The evaluation is based on independent verification of the entity's actual market standing, with penalties applied to the Quality Factors due to the poor submission data.
