Flag TEM , Telecom , Expense Management , Awards

Staying ahead in the competitive telecommunications space requires constant innovation, a focus on client satisfaction, and consistent performance across all engagements. Once again, Sakon has solidified our proficiency in all three categories by remaining the most-rated and highest-rated out of all telecom expense management companies featured in Gartner’s Peer Insights

As we continue to lead the pack in the telecom industry, each review further attests to our quality TEM solutions and highlights our expertise in telecom customer service. With our previous clients taking the time and effort to craft glowing recommendations, our own belief in providing an unmatched product is reflected by organizations leveraging our software on a daily basis.

Gartner and the Importance of Reviewing Telecom Expense Management Companies

While Gartner is well-known and highly revered as a dependable research and advisory company for business and IT leaders, the organization also offers a platform for companies to share authentic feedback. The platform features over 640,000 verified reviews and ratings from actual users of IT products and services. This feedback is crucial in helping businesses find TEM solutions that meet their needs, reducing the risk of accidentally adopting an unsuitable choice. 

Gartner Peer Insights holds vendors accountable for their offerings, encouraging continuous development and customer satisfaction. The platform ensures transparency to provide an unbiased view of vendor performance and product effectiveness, in addition to letting users conduct a detailed comparative analysis of multiple vendors and products simultaneously. A company can decide which telecom expense management provider will bring meaningful change by reading the honest opinion of a software’s features, usability, and support.

Sakon has an established reputation for accolades from this monumental thought leader. Our feature as a Visionary in their 2023 Magic Quadrant™ for Global Mobility Management Services and being named a Customers’ Choice in 2021 demonstrate reliable quality, from first contact to customer service upkeep, that rises above that of alternative telecom expense management companies.

Sakon’s Performance Metrics

Since we are a team that appreciates data-driven decision-making, we let the actual numbers on our TEM services speak for themselves. With over 175,000 peer contributors on Gartner’s Peer Insights platform, a high rating isn’t just a vanity metric; it represents the faith and approval given to our platform after years of meeting and exceeding expectations. 

Simply put, if our TEM solutions didn’t continually streamline invoicing and billing, effectively monitor vendor payment, and regularly provide true ROI from expense management optimization for companies worldwide, we wouldn’t be the top-ranking service provider. While our review profile is updated live, we wanted to capture a snapshot of the glowing support displayed at the time of this article’s publishing.

The Customer Experience

All telecom expense management companies in the list are ranked on a 5-point scale in the following categories:

  • Product Capabilities examines overall functionality and performance, how well it meets user expectations, the breadth of its features, and the reliability of its operations.
  • Integration & Deployment evaluates how smoothly the product integrates with existing systems, the ease of the deployment process, and the quality of the vendor's support during the initial setup phase.
  • Service & Support measures the quality and responsiveness of the vendor's customer service and technical support, the availability of resources, and effectiveness in resolving issues.
  • Evaluation & Contracting assesses the ease and clarity of the vendor's evaluation process, the transparency of the contract terms, the fairness of pricing, and contract flexibility.

Sakon, which has over 30 distinct reviews from IT experts, achieved the highest ranking possible in the first three criteria, receiving a 4.5 out of 5 for Evaluation and contracting alone. 

Review Statistics

In a field that requires precise metrics, we’re happy to share some that outline how the public sees our commitment to excellence. Word of mouth and qualitative claims on our work help show our human-oriented approach, but the hard numbers are what set us apart.

One 5-star review from the government sector shared positive sentiments: “We have complex needs across our organization, and Sakon has never once failed to fulfill our detailed needs in a way that works even better than what we had originally dreamed of.”

Both technology and a dedication to human-oriented telecom customer service were mentioned throughout, with one IT services employee noting, “Implementation phase was seamless. The Sakon team was very engaging and helpful throughout the process. Since going live, it's made my day-to-day tasks simpler to complete.”
