TryHackMe is described as a legacy provider of free offensive security training content with a community of two million users and the lowest price point of all evaluated platforms.
A: According to the Forrester Wave Methodology section, vendors may appear as nonparticipating vendors in the graphic if they meet the defined inclusion criteria but decline to participate in or contribute only partially to the evaluation. These vendors are scored in accordance with Forrester's vendor participation policy and their positioning is published along with participating vendors. The report encourages readers to evaluate how the market and vendor offerings change over time, as the evaluation is based on materials provided by a specific cutoff date (September 15, 2023 for this report).
