I’ve been checking out Office 365 as I mentioned in this post. Part of that is finding the right Microsoft Partner to help me out. When I click on “Top Cloud Partners” I get a list of MS partners. In that list it tells you how many reviews they have and the star rating. En Pointe has 207 reviews. CCB has 153. If you look that’s far more than anyone except two other companies which also have suspect reviews.
What do En Pointe and CCB have in common and why do I think someone is shilling? They have lots of reviews in the last couple months. They have multiple reviews every few days. The reviews are completely positive with nothing negative to say. They are almost all 5 stars. And in En Pointe’s case, the usernames mostly follow the same pattern of names and numbers (name1234).
I’m not saying they are shilling, but shilling is a common game on the internet. En pointe’s reviews sure do quack like a duck and walk like a duck.
Microsoft should pay attention to their review system to make sure that companies aren’t fraudulently boosting themselves.
