How We Test & Score Tools
We’ve spent years building, refining, and improving our software testing and scoring system. The rubric is designed to capture the nuances of software selection and what makes a tool effective, focusing on critical aspects of the decision-making process.
Below, you can see exactly how our testing and scoring works across seven criteria. It allows us to provide an unbiased evaluation of the software based on core functionality, standout features, ease of use, onboarding, customer support, integrations, customer reviews, and value for money.
Core Functionality (25% of final scoring)
The starting point of our evaluation is always the core functionality of the tool. Does it have the basic features and functions that a user would expect to see? Are any of those core features locked to higher-tiered pricing plans? At its core, we expect a tool to stand up against the baseline capabilities of its competitors.
Standout Features (25% of final scoring)
Next, we evaluate uncommon standout features that go above and beyond the core functionality typically found in tools of its kind. A high score reflects specialized or unique features that make the product faster, more efficient, or offer additional value to the user.
We also evaluate how easy it is to integrate with other tools typically found in the tech stack to expand the functionality and utility of the software. Tools offering plentiful native integrations, 3rd party connections, and API access to build custom integrations score best.
Ease of Use (10% of final scoring)
We consider how quick and easy it is to execute the tasks defined in the core functionality using the tool. High scoring software is well designed, intuitive to use, offers mobile apps, provides templates, and makes relatively complex tasks seem simple.
Onboarding (10% of final scoring)
We know how important rapid team adoption is for a new platform, so we evaluate how easy it is to learn and use a tool with minimal training. We evaluate how quickly a team member can get set up and start using the tool with no experience. High scoring solutions indicate little or no support is required.
Customer Support (10% of final scoring)
We review how quick and easy it is to get unstuck and find help by phone, live chat, or knowledge base. Tools and companies that provide real-time support score best, while chatbots score worst.
Customer Reviews (10% of final scoring)
Beyond our own testing and evaluation, we consider the net promoter score from current and past customers. We review their likelihood, given the option, to choose the tool again for the core functionality. A high scoring software reflects a high net promoter score from current or past customers.
Value for Money (10% of final scoring)
Lastly, in consideration of all the other criteria, we review the average price of entry level plans against the core features and consider the value of the other evaluation criteria. Software that delivers more, for less, will score higher.

Fully-Managed Platform & Expertise
Red Points operates brand protection end-to-end on behalf of its clients. For Professional and Enterprise plans, the IP-Ops team handles incident validation and prioritization, keyword and automation refinement, seller network analysis, enforcement management and follow-ups, and continuous optimization. Brands get an operated protection program — not just a tool — with playbooks refined over a decade.
Ease of Use
Red Points offers a clean, easy-to-navigate dashboard that gives teams a clear view of counterfeit detections, takedown progress, and overall brand protection activity in one place. Automated workflows handle much of the monitoring and removal process, reducing the need for constant manual work and helping teams act quickly when issues appear. While there can be a short learning period at the start, the setup process is structured and guided, making it easier for teams to get up and running. Once configured, the platform fits naturally into day-to-day operations and helps teams stay on top of brand threats without adding unnecessary complexity.
For brands that prefer a fully managed approach, Red Points' IP-Ops team operates the platform on their behalf, handling ongoing detection tuning, rule-building, and enforcement execution so internal teams can focus on strategy rather than day-to-day operations.

Though Red Points does not explicitly state integrations with workplace tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams, the platform does provide coverage for major online marketplaces, websites, and social platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba to detect and remove infringements.
It also provides API access for custom integrations with internal systems and workflows.
