According to Gartner, "It is becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate vendors in the market based on functionality. This puts pressure on pricing (we have seen aggressive pricing in 2006) and services (for example, consulting and outsourcing)." Vendors were identified based on several key product differentiators including flexibility of data and workflow, job board posting, onboarding, content and multinational support.
