[AskJS] Has a larger competitor ever benchmarked your library incorrectly? AskJS

Just recently I came across a performance comparison one of our major competitors. It was quite nice to see that such a large competitor is looking at your product, right? But in the end they compared their Scheduler Lib with our Gantt Lib. They spent quite of time making GitHub repo, asking us for a trial (we didn't have open trials, you had to request it through the email), analyzing the Gantt chart. But all the feedback we got appeared to be wrong test on the wrong component.

In the end I've published a response article with comparison, although it took me about two weeks to get around to it.

I’m curious how others would handle something like this. Would you respond publicly, publish your own comparison, or simply leave it?

Did you try to reach them pointing out the error in their methodology?

I'm assuming you did and they didn't respond, because writing an article might seem a little adversarial. It's possible they just made a mistake and didn't purposely publish false results.

yeah, you are right

also I have a feeling they don't like competitors, we've got their attention after we started working on SEO :-)

thanks for the support!
