As part of our evaluation of products, we look to see if the Vendor is a Marketplace Partner. The only listings I have found are from July 2020:
There is also the Partner Directory, but despite having a filter for Marketplace Partner, it appears to be Solutions Partner identification only.
What is the recommendation for understanding if a Vendor is a Marketplace Partner? If they are missing things like the Security Self-Assessment, or participation in the Bug Bounty program, would these prevent them from getting this standing?
It appears useful for determining if a Vendor is a Solution Partner, but not a Marketplace Partner. For instance, if you search on that page and the only restriction is Specialization = Marketplace Partner, and identify the vendor as Appfire, it returns no data. However, if you search the July 2020 announcements, they both return Appfire as a Platinum Marketplace Partner.
From the perspective of looking to identify a vendor as a Marketplace Partner, the Partner Directory appears to be misleading and/or incorrect.
