ABOUT BERTL’S GALAXY© STAR RATING

BERTL understands how difficult it is to choose one office- imaging device over another and exists to make this an easier choice for the consumer. That said, how does a consumer decide between two or more devices that carry the same BERTL 3-, 4- or 5-star rating?

Category-Criteria

Build Quality - An analysis of the construction quality of the major components that the user must interact with on a regular basis (e.g.: paper trays, access covers, supplies, etc.).

Network Administration - The quality of administrative and management utilities (both executable and Web-based) when compared to that of a sliding scale benchmark based on the network administration feature set of other vendors.

Security - A security feature-set analysis (removable hard disk, hard-disk overwrite, encryption, IP filtering, Microsoft Windows NT Authentication and LDAP lookup) when compared to a sliding scale benchmark based on the security feature set found on other devices.

Workflow - The quality of the network scanning, job submission, document management, sharpening and enhancement, file conversion and job layout tools based on a sliding scale benchmark when compared to the workflow tools employed by other devices.

Finishing - The productivity penalty (punch, staple, booklets) based on tests and finishing specifications and effectiveness based on a sliding scale benchmark when compared to that of other finishing systems found on other devices.
